Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of years of research following a realization of the mismatch of engineering skills produced by universities and those that industry required, based on the situation in Sub-Saharan Africa, equally applicable to other regions in Africa and indeed worldwide. The book is meant to assist engineering academics and engineers in industry to build capacity and cope with the dynamic trends in technology brought on by the 4th Industrial Revolution and to prepare for the 5th Industrial Revolution, an era predicted to be dominated by critical and system thinkers with creative and innovative skills as basic necessities. The book is also useful for policy-making researchers in academia, industrial and public sector researchers, and implementers in governments that provide required funding for the development of human resources and skills. The book primarily consists of the novel research and innovation approaches of modelling and building systems thinking sub-models which were ultimately integrated into the Universal Systems Thinking (UST) model aimed at improving the quality of engineers and engineering practice. The initiatives in this book include strategies for bridging the gap between industry and academia through systems thinking research. The book provides information on how to model, simulate, adjust and implement integrated systems thinking approaches to engineering education and training for capacity building and sustainability. The book also covers approaches to address research gaps and mismatch of skills while capitalizing on the successes of several projects carried out and supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering over the years.

Book excerpt: Archives, museums, and libraries are pivotal to the management and preservation of any society's heritage. Heritage assets should be systematically managed by putting in place proper policies, maintenance procedures, security and risks measures, and retrieval and preservation plans. The Handbook of Research on Heritage Management and Preservation is a critical scholarly resource that examines different aspects of heritage management and preservation ranging from theories that underline the field, areas of convergence and divergence in the field, infrastructure and the policy framework that governs the field, and the influence of the changing landscape on practice. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics, such as community involvement, records legislation, and collection development, this book is geared towards academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on heritage management and preservation.

Book excerpt: When looking at academia and the job market, a persistent issue continues to cast a shadow over the future of graduates and the workforce alike. The problem at hand is the enduring divide between universities and employers, a chasm that often leaves graduates ill-prepared for the demands of the modern workplace. Academic scholars, career advisors, and graduate recruiters grapple with the challenge of equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed for sustainable career success. This divide not only impedes the career prospects of graduates but also leaves employers struggling to find the talent they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Strategic Opportunities for Bridging the University-Employer Divide offers a solution to a pressing problem. For academic scholars seeking innovative answers to this enduring challenge, this comprehensive guide marries theoretical insights with real-world applications, providing a roadmap to bridge the gap between education and employment.

Book excerpt: Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 depicts a dystopian society where technology, particularly in the form of mass media and censorship, plays a central role in controlling and manipulating the populace. However, the novel also explores the paradoxical relationship between technology and human connection, highlighting both its potential for liberation and its capacity for oppression. This research paper aims to analyze the multifaceted portrayal of technology in Fahrenheit 451, examining its role in fostering isolation and conformity while also exploring its subversive potential as a tool for resistance and introspection. Through a close reading of the novel's themes, characters, and narrative structure, this paper elucidates Bradbury's nuanced commentary on the complex interplay between technology, knowledge, and freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people pass from University or college, they are raw as far as practicality of life is concerned. Before that they were dependent on parents/guardian. What I am talking , is may be related to 99.0% of people only. After Graduation/post-graduation they look for a job to start the career. This is the time they first time face the world independently. It is the case like when someone is exposed to heat from cold conditions. The stamina, both mind & body are tested under such circumstances. The book is written with consideration of such types of people who will become the backbone of the society in the coming years. The points considered are based on my experience in the manufacturing industry for 34+ years.

Book excerpt: Innovative firms rely increasingly on academic science, yet they exploit only a small fraction of all academic discoveries. Which discoveries in academia do firms build upon? We posit that hubs play the role of bridges between academic science and corporate technology. Tracking citations from patents to about 10 million academic articles, we find that hubs facilitate the flow of academic science into corporate inventions in two ways. First, hub-based discoveries in academia are of higher quality and are more applied. Second, firms -- in particular young, innovative, science-oriented ones -- pay disproportionate attention to hub-based discoveries. We address concerns regarding unobserved heterogeneity by confirming the role of firms' attention to hub-based science in a set of 147 simultaneous discoveries. Importantly, hubs not only facilitate localized knowledge flows but also extend the geographic reach of academic science, attracting the attention of distant firms.
