This book provides an overview of contemporary postgraduate research in Technology Education, bringing recent research on technology education to the attention of teachers so that they can use the findings to inform their practice, while also informing the education research community about studies being carried out in the field of Technology Education. The book brings together significant international research on Technology Education by focusing on contemporary PhD theses. While the conceptual underpinnings of each research project are explained, the focus is on elaborating the findings in ways that are relevant for practitioners. The book features contributions from doctoral students who completed their research in 2013. Each chapter employs a similar structure, with a focus on what the research means for classroom teachers. The book offers a valuable resource for researchers, teachers and potential researchers, with suggestions for further study. Each chapter also includes references to the digital edition of the respective full thesis, allowing readers to consult the research in detail if necessary.

Die zweite Auflage dieses etablierten Werkes vermittelt praxisnahes und anwendungsorientiertes Fachwissen im Logistikmanagement der Automobilindustrie. Neben den bereits in der Praxis bewährten Verfahren des Logistikmanagements werden in der Neuauflage dieses Buches auch anwendungsnahe, wissenschaftlich fundierte Konzepte, wie z.B. die Monte Carlo Simulation, vorgestellt. Als Grundlagenwerk beschreibt dieses Buch alle logistikrelevanten Planungs- und Serienprozesse im Automobilbau. Den Hauptfokus bildet die Sicht des Automobilherstellers, da er innerhalb des globalen Supply Networks die höchste Anforderungs- und Komplexitätsstufe aufweist. Dieses Buch gliedert sich analog der Planungs- und Serienphase im Fahrzeugbau in die beiden Bereiche Logistikmanagement im Produktentstehungsprozess und Logistikmanagement im Kundenauftragsprozess. Entsprechend dem im Supply Chain Management üblichen Line-Back Prinzip werden in diesem Buch alle Planungsstufen der Logistik, von der Materialbereitstellung am Verbauort ausgehend, über die internen Logistikstufen, bis hin zu den Lieferprozessen, durchgängig behandelt. Für die anschließenden Serienprozesse erfolgt die Beschreibung der Abläufe nach Beschaffungs-, Produktions-, Distributions- und Ersatzteillogistik gemäß den Anforderungen im Kundenauftragsprozess. Alle in diesem Buch dargestellten Methoden und Konzepte basieren auf den Grundprinzipien einer Schlanken Logistik. Ein eigenes Kapitel Lean Logistics stellt diesen Ansatz nochmals vertieft vor.  Der Autor Prof. Dr. Florian Klug studierte Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Universität Passau. Nach seiner Promotion und Beratungstätigkeiten im automobilen Umfeld war er in der Logistikplanung bei der Audi AG in Ingolstadt tätig. Seit 2003 lehrt er an der Hochschule München Supply Chain Management. Er ist seit vielen Jahren als Berater, Gutachter, Referent und Autor im Bereich des Logistikmanagements der Automobilindustrie tätig.

In this benchmarking report, a comprehensive benchmarking analysis of the participating Sub-Saharan African universities is conducted in terms of the key indicators identified and constructed for the purpose of assessing institutional performance and health. While university benchmarking is a relatively new approach for most Sub-Saharan African universities that are participating for the first time in this process, it has been used as a diagnosis and planning tool by many universities to understand and track their own performance over time and against their local and global peers. For Sub-Saharan African universities, there is a need to take stock of outstanding achievements in the past, catch up with local peers in the near future, and set long-term targets on the road to becoming a top-performing university in the world. It is expected that this benchmarking analysis will serve as the basis for understanding the relative performance of Sub-Saharan African universities as well as a catalyst for these universities to take appropriate quality improvement measures and carry out effective strategic planning. For this phase of the Partnership for Skills in Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology (PASET) Regional Benchmarking Initiative, 28 out of the 48 Sub-Saharan African universities that signed up have participated and attempted the benchmarking exercise to different extents.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Engineering Education in industrialising countries, with Southern Africa as the case study, benchmarked on institutions from the industrialised world, with UK institutions as the reference. This was motivated by the perennial shortage of engineers and engineering skills to drive industry in Southern Africa, compounded by the mismatch of skills between those produced by tertiary institutions and those required by industry. This book focuses on the insufficiencies in training, through addressing the gap where the majority of engineering academics’ qualifications at MSc/MEng level fall short of the internationally acceptable PhD/DEng/DTech. In order to address such insufficiencies, the book proposes and advocates for reskilling and doctoral training of engineering academics through the proposed and established DTCs within the region. The book is targeted at graduate students, engineering academics, researchers, university administrators, foreign aid agencies, captains of industry and policy-makers in governments. To all these readers, the book offers: Development of indigenous engineering capacities and skills for economic growth in industrialising countries; Bridging the gap between industry and academia through areas of strategic importance; Upskilling of engineers and engineering academics to PhD level through DTCs, for the provision of solutions to national and regional challenges.
