Workshop 1

PDRAs and PhD Students: Sustainable Integrated Renewable Energy Systems for the Future, Room 526 (355 and 375 available)

14:30-14:50

Introduction to the Workshop, Dr Ian Watson, University of Glasgow; Professor Kunio Yoshikawa, Tokyo Tech

Facilitator: Dr Ali McCay, Energy Technology Partnership

Outline: The costs of renewable energy from solar and wind power is reducing rapidly. This is drastically altering the energy landscape; the growing uptake of these technologies will significantly influence future, global energy scenarios and provide opportunities for developing new technologies. Working in groups, this session will address the role of integrated renewable energy systems for urban and rural deployment and investigate how a country’s energy needs and future development of technologies will be met in the future with zero carbon emissions. The groups will develop a strategy to develop methodologies to achieve zero global CO2 emissions and identify the impact of emerging technologies on reducing emissions. Questions that need addressing may include: how does the world reach a position of zero carbon emissions and what problems need addressing and solving to reach this position? What is the dependency of a country’s current political and economic status on reducing their carbon emissions and how will this influence climate change?

Each group will prepare a 10-15 min presentation and two-five pages, referenced synopsis of their work, with time available on Friday to conclude this work from 12:00-13.30. The presentations will be given on Friday from 13:30 and the work combined into a joint document.

Workshop 2

Faculty Round-table workshops: Room 530 (361 available)

15:10-15:20

Professor Jeffrey Cross, Tokyo Tech, “Assessing Competencies of Mechanical Engineering students in japan and Indonesia”

Two to three groups will consider:

Transnational Education (TNE) in Engineering and Internationalisation for students and faculty staff;
Educating engineering students in interdisciplinary degree programmes and
Assessing Competencies of Mechanical Engineering students.
Educating engineering students in interdisciplinary degree

The aims of workshop 2 are to identify and develop best practices for developing TNE, research collaborations and educating students in interdisciplinary degree programmes. Can methodologies be developed that fit all countries and what framework would these methodologies take? How would this benefit participating countries and impact delivery of degree programmes, assessing competencies and collaborative research? Specifically, how can the UK and Japanese education sectors work more closely together and what benefits would this yield? The results from each group will be brought together and a presentation produced, for 14:30 on Friday.
