Key to this goal is defining a common methodology for measuring vocational competences. This publication sets out a proposal for just that, based on the results of a pilot project known as ‘COMET’ on competence diagnostics in the field of electrical engineering. The study deploys longitudinal analysis to explore issues of competence development, the development of vocational identity, and occupational commitment. It focuses on two discrete occupational profiles in electrical engineering in an ambitious test of a model currently applied to other professions as well. The model’s success in its first phase is detailed in the second part of the volume, where the authors show that the transfer of the competence framework into an empirical model was successful. They also demonstrate that the methodology can be applied to designing and evaluating vocational education and training processes, making the material relevant to VET teachers and trainers as well as academics. With its first section comprising a full description of the theoretical framework, this book is a significant step forward in an urgent task facing administrations, labor forces and employers around the world. The achievement is in proportion to the notorious complexities of a field whose diversity makes tough demands on large-scale methods of assessment.Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects,2213-221X ;16Professional educationVocational educationEducational tests and measurementsProfessional and Vocational EducationAssessment and TestingProfessional education.Vocational education.Educational tests and measurements.Professional and Vocational Education.Assessment and Testing.331.702Rauner Felix545582MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438339603321Competence Development and Assessment in TVET (COMET)2503354UNINA04519nam 2200577Ia 450 991100477000332120200520144314.01-281-07204-497866110720490-08-052954-2(CKB)1000000000384607(EBL)316925(OCoLC)476108883(SSID)ssj0000126012(PQKBManifestationID)12000241(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000126012(PQKBWorkID)10030480(PQKB)10348647(MiAaPQ)EBC316925(PPN)149749031(EXLCZ)99100000000038460720010205d2001 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCompact heat exchangers selection, design, and operation /John E.

Historically, the development and application of compact heat exchangers and their surfaces has taken place in a piecemeal fashion in a number of rather unrelated areas, principally those of the automotive and prime mover, aerospace, cryogenic and refrigeration sectors. Much detailed technology, familiar in one sector, progressed only slowly over the boundary into another sector. This compartmentalisation was a feature both of the user industries themseHeat exchangersHeat-enginesHeat exchangers.Heat-engines.621.402/5Hesselgreaves John E282047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911004770003321Compact Heat Exchangers673185UNINA01437nam 22004333 450 991102864910332120250930085251.03-031-96993-6(MiAaPQ)EBC32320717(Au-PeEL)EBL32320717(CKB)41018925100041(OCoLC)1541805736(EXLCZ)994101892510004120250930d2025 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFractal Functions Communication with Fractional Calculus1st ed.Cham :Springer,2025.©2025.1 online resource (282 pages)Physics and Astronomy Series3-031-96992-8 This book provides an in-depth examination of fractal functions, focusing on their self-similar structures and the relatively simple construction procedures that make them a subject of fascination in mathematics and engineering.Physics and Astronomy Series514.742Gowrisankar A1790981Priyanka T.
