Exploring design based wilderness education : a pedagogy to develop design thinking, an engineering science worldview, and leadership capacity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This study explores the experience of students during the implementation of a design-based wilderness education curricula. I introduce the concept of a curriculum that combines the pedagogies of design-based learning and ...
Interdependency of electricity and natural gas markets in the United States : a dynamic computational model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Due to high storage costs and limited storage availability, natural gas is generally used as a just-in- time resource that needs to be delivered as it is consumed. With the shale gas revolution, coal retirements and ...
An analysis of how climate policies and the threat of stranded fossil fuel assets incentivize CCS deployment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
To be on track to stabilize climate change, scientists estimate that up to two thirds of global coal, oil, and natural gas reserves will need to remain stranded in the ground. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the only ...
A comprehensive computer-aided planning approach for universal energy access : case study of Kilifi, Kenya
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
In 2009, it was estimated that 1.4 billion people in the world lack access to electricity, and approximately 2.7 billion people rely on biomass as their primary cooking fuel. Access to reliable electricity and modem forms ...
Evaluating upstream supply chain disruptions with partial availability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Globalization, outsourcing, and the emphasis on lean supply chains continue to shape the supply chain industry. These trends have increased the prevalence and severity of disruptions to upstream supply. Disruptions to ...
Enhanced engine mechanical efficiency through tailoring of lubricant formulations to localized power cylinder wall conditions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Numerical and experimental studies were performed on an internal combustion engine power cylinder wall's lubricating oil film in order to assess the possibility of tailoring engine lubricants to specific engine configurations ...
The intergenerational ethics of climate change : the failure of cost-benefit analysis as a normative framework
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Climate change generates a conflict between generations: while it is in the interest of the current generation to continue to exploit inexpensive carbon-based fuel to drive economic growth, it is in the interest of future ...
Can cable TV network boost broadband competition in Turkey? : developing policy implications for Turkey
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Turkey is one of the most important emerging markets in the world. Considering its young educated population prone to use computer technologies, Turkey can make more benefit from broadband services. Compared with OECD ...
Economic and environmental opportunities in electronics industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Due to industrial development and technological innovation, many problems arise from the increasing number of electronics devices that need to be managed at end of life. The two main market failures related to waste ...
A stochastic techno-economic comparison of alternative jet fuel production pathways
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This study quantifies and compares the costs of production for six alternative jet fuel pathways using consistent financial and technical assumptions. Uncertainty was propagated through the analysis using Monte Carlo ...
