Promoting constructive aligment in engineering education at Chalmers
No full textThe project that this paper refers to focused on an engineering education degree offered by the Chalmers University of Technology, situated in Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. Chalmers has the reputation of being one of Scandinavia’s best technical univer-sities and is particularly strong in the research area. However, in recent years it has come under fire for perceived shortcomings in the area of pedagogy (Medun, 2000) and gender awareness (Göteborg Posten, 2001). In response to this criticism, Chalmers embarked on an ambitious educational reform program: the Chalmers Strategic Effort on Learning and Teaching, or the C-SELT project (Olsson et al., 2001).Chalmers set aside SEK 50 million over five years for pedagogical projects. A consulta-tion process using external experts such as John Bowden, co-author of The University of Learning, identified several areas that stakeholders at Chalmers believed were a priority. Assessment of learning was one of them. Gender equity was another. In the first round of C-SELT, 22 projects were funded (for an overview of aims and results, see Adawi, 2003). The second author of this paper led a project called “Appropriate ways of assessing student learning”. It was a project that involved teachers and students from every section in Chalmers. A series of case studies provided examples of best practice in assessment and argued for more continuous and more varied forms of assessment at Chalmers (Christie and Nordlund, 2001). The final report of this project made a number of recommendations for future action. One of them was that in the second phase of C-SELT a special project should look at the extent to which the curriculum at Chalmers was constructively aligned. That recommendation was acted upon. This paper details some of the results of a project that is led by the first author of this paper, and called “The constructive alignment of teaching and learning at Chalmers”

Konstruera och bygga en autoklav för härdning av kompositer i Chalmers kompositverkstad
No full textFör att fortsätta försörja arbetsmarknaden med nyutexaminerade studenter från Chalmers
och göra nya framsteg inom forskning krävs utveckling. Arbetet uppnår detta genom att
konstruera en autoklav till maskinhusets kompositverkstad. I det första skedet används
systematisk utvecklingsmetodik för att kunna ta fram koncept. Sedan genomfördes dimensionering
av autoklaven med hjälp av handberäkningar på hållfastheten och uppvärmningsystemet.
Följt av detta gjordes modellering med hjälp av CATIA v5, där modellerna
sedan användes för simuleringar i finita elementprogrammet ANSYS 18.2. Dimensioneringen
av reglersystemet genomfördes med hjälp av simuleringar i systemdesignsprogrammet
Simulink. Med hjälp av dessa verktyg har gruppen tagit fram en konstruktion med tillhörande
ritningar och komponenter. De huvudsakliga komponenterna är ett tryckkärl med
dimensionerna ?508 × 1190 mm, ett reglersystem baserat på en Raspberry Pi 3+ och ett
uppvärmningssystem med maximal effekt på 2, 3 kW. Autoklaven är dimensionerad för
arbetstrycket 0, 7 MPa och högsta temperaturen 150 C. Styrsystemet visar när autoklaven
är i drift och stänger av vid eventuella fel. Om styrsystemet skulle haverera finns en
mekanisk övertrycksventil som försäkrar om att trycket släpps ut.
Abstract
To keep the supply of alumnae going from Chalmers and to make new research possible
innovation is needed. This project achieves this through the design of an autoclave intended
to be used in Chalmers new composite workshop. In the first phase of the project a
systematic development method was used. In the next phase the product was designed
with tools like basic calculations of the structural integrity and the heating system. Then
models were made in CATIA v5 and simulated with the finite element method in ANSYS
18.2. A model for the control system was developed and simulated in the system design
program Simulink. With the help of these tools the project group has made a complete
design with blueprints and components. The major components are; a pressure vessel with
the dimensions ?508 × 1190 mm, a Raspberry Pi 3+ based control system and a heating
system with the maximal active power 2, 3 kW. The autoclave is designed for a working
pressure of 0.7 MPa and maximal temperature of 150 C. The control system indicates
when the autoclave is in use and shuts down when any errors occur. If the control system
where to malfunction a mechanical pressure valve guarantees safety by releasing the air.

Katalytisk optimering: Produktion av biometan för Chalmers EcoMarathon
No full textTjärbildning vid förgasning av biomassa är ett återkommande problem i anläggningar
avsedda för att producera biometan. Syftet med arbetet är att katalytiskt
optimera processen genom att studera effekten av olika bäddmaterial sett till
produktion av nyttiga produktgaser samt tjärbildning. Utöver optimeringen har
automatisering av ett bränsleinmatningssystem till förgasaren påbörjats, med
målet att få ett jämnt inflöde av bränsle. Projektet är en del av en serie kandidatarbeten
där det slutgiltiga målet är att sammanfoga de olika studierna för att
tillverka biometan till Chalmers tävlingsbidrag till Shell Eco-Marathon.
Konstruktionen av inmataren påbörjades och en teoretisk design fastställdes.
Katalysatortesterna utfördes i ett laboratorium vid Chalmers Kraftcentral utrustat
med en förgasare. I laboratoriet testades bäddmaterialen kvartssand, ilmenit,
bauxit och olivin där inmatningen skedde både satsvist och kontinuerligt. Testerna
utfördes vid temperaturer på 810 samt 870 °C. Gasen samt tjäran som bildats
extraherades, varefter sammansättningen analyserades med hjälp av gaskromatografi.Det summerade utbytet av kol baserat på både produktgaser och tjäror och var som högst 75.9 %. Resultaten indikerar att ilmenit och bauxit gav ett något högre utbyte av nyttiga produktgaser än kvartssand. Produktionen av tjära var dock lägst vid användning av kvartssand, vilket motsäger både litteratur
och hypotes. Därför kan inga direkta slutsatser dras gällande bäddmaterialens
förmåga till tjärnedbrytning
