  • DM Plan-English-Mongla-26.09.2014
    1 Foreword Bangladesh is likely to be one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to disaster. From the historical period, the people of the deltaic region of this country are combating against various natural calamities. Among these disasters, some are creeping, redundant, sudden, vivid, and devastating features. These multifarious disasters occur for the geographic location of Bangladesh. On account of geographic location, abrupt weather change and riverine land, this country is vulnerable to natural disasters like flood, cyclone, drought, tornado, tidal surge, salinity and many others. Furthermore, periodic riverbank erosion and flood causes loss of millions of people's lives, homestead, and livelihood. Various anthropogenic hazards are constantly threatening human life. Among these deforestation, pollution of brick industry, use of harmful chemical fertilizer, shrimp virus etc. has caused extensive damage to properties and human lives. These create devastating impacts on local people and country economy. Although Bangladesh is a severe disaster prone country, no long-term action plan was taken for reducing the disaster risk regarding people's life and assets by undertaking a long-term program. Only relief and rehabilitation program was emphasized rather than disaster management plan. However, in line of Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP), recently the Disaster Management and Relief Ministry of Bangladesh has taken a milestone program with the financial and technical assistance of UNDP, EU, UKAID, Australin Aid, Embassy of Sweden and Norway aiming to reduce the country disaster risk. Under this program, initiative of Disaster Management Plan (DMP) has been conducted at district and upazila level. It is anticipated that the implementation of the DMP will play a significant role to reduce the upcoming disaster risk.

  • Diversity Or Conformity in Teaching Digital Design Pattern Construction
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 6 & 7 SEPTEMBER 2018, DYSON SCHOOL OF DESIGN ENGINEERING, IMPERIAL COLLEGE, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM DIVERSITY OR CONFORMITY IN TEACHING DIGITAL DESIGN PATTERN CONSTRUCTION Kirsten KLÆBO Faculty of Technology, Art and Design, OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University ABSTRACT This paper treats how to use YouTube videos in design education at university level. The internet and new technology has entered the design education in many ways. One of them is the use of YouTube video as a learning activity. Digital pattern construction programmes are already in use in the fashion industry. The problem has been to implement the new technology in the design education at OsloMet (Oslo Metropolitan University). The author has made a survey of the quality of YouTube videos regarding Lectra Modaris, in order to see if the uses could get a more diverse teaching and learning environment for the students in higher education in fashion design. Lectra Modaris is a pattern construction programme. Quality analyses of 65 YouTube videos were made, which gave an inside view of the domain regarding digital pattern construction YouTube videos. The videos mostly covered the basic level of digital pattern construction. The visual interface was the same as the programme. The sound, the language, and the use of the pointer varied from one video to the other. There was no systematic order, which made it easy to find the right video when you needed to learn something specific. Applying YouTube videos as a learning activity requires knowledge of the offer available on the internet, and of how to make it relevant to the curriculum.
