The Projeto de Educação Tutorial Engenharia Geológica (PET Engenharia Geológica) of UFOP (Federal University of Ouro Preto) is a student entity basically structured in the three pillars: extension activities, scientific research and education. Further, during extension/educational activities leaded by the group, it has always been a challenge to teach geological matters in a sim-ple way to student of secondary and high school levels. Therefore, the PET Engenharia Geológica decided to build a few mod-els to better illustrate some of the geological processes and explain what may not be so easily understood by the students. The first model made last year and consists of a geologic prototype of Serra de Ouro Preto, showing the topography and lithology aspects of its surface. Geologically, it is characterized by Archean and Paleoproterozoic rocks of Rio das Velhas Supergroup (Maquiné Group and Nova Lima Group), Minas Supergroup (Caraça, Itabira, Piracicaba and Sabará groups) and the lithologies of Itacolomi Group. It´s main structure signature is the occurrence of the Mariana´s Anticlinal and its topographic response. There were also completed a second prototype, a volcano model. The mentioned models was exposed it in two different educa-tion/academic events already in 2017 regarding very positive feedbacks as a result of the initiative. Now, the project aims to continue and follow the education track, aiming to help in the teaching of geosciences – in public high schools of Ouro Preto – with the handmade models.

This paper investigates the philosophical foundations of modern bioengineering to articulate its ethical framework. Engineering as an ultimate mechanism to transform knowledge into practice is essential for both physical and biological sciences. It reduces data, concepts, and designs to pictorial forms. The integration of engineering with the newly emerging biosciences, has presented a unique opportunity to overcome the major challenges that face the environmental and human health. To harness potentials of bioengineering and establish a sustainable foundation for green technology, modern scientists and engineers need to be acquainted with the normative questions of science. In addition to acquiring the general principles of scientific research and identifying the intrinsic goals of the endeavour, philosophy of bioengineering exposes bioengineers to both the descriptive ‘how’ questions of the physical world as well as the normative ‘why’ questions of values. Such an interdisciplinary approach is significant, not only for inspiring to acquire the genuine knowledge of the existing world, but also to expose the bioengineers to their ethical and social responsibilities. Besides introducing the conceptual framework of bioengineering, this paper has investigated the three major philosophies that have been dominating the theoretical presuppositions of scientific research method in history. Namely, (i) Systems biology approach; (ii) Evolutionary biology approach; and (iii) Mechanical view approach. To establish the ethical foundation of modern bioengineering, the paper, also has conducted an analytical study on various branches of the emerging discipline of bioscience.The paper has concluded that adopting the interdisciplinary approach in research and education is essential to harness potentials of bioengineering and to establish foundations of green technology. To achieve the final objectives of bioengineering, both the practical and theoretical knowledge of values must be acquired. The former is essential for invention and innovation; meanwhile the later exposes bioengineers to the integrated discipline of knowledge and values.

The efficient use of a scientific application service built on a computing environment requires technology that integrates each application service into a workflow so that the workflow is executed in a cooperative environment. There have been a number of attempts to automate research activities as a scientific workflow. However, there are practical problems in the full automation of research activities for a number of simulation programs and researchers. In the cyber environment for Collaborative and Distributed E-Research (CDER), the types of workflows need to be studied and supported separately and with different methodologies. In this chapter, the authors analyze the scientific research and education processes and categorize them into four types: simulation, experiment, collaborative work, and educational activity. They then describe the applications needed for each category. To justify their categorization of the CDER workflow, they examine the workflow of e-AIRS (e-Science Aerospace Integrated Research System), a problem-solving environment for aerospace research.

In today's world, every time we connect phone to internet, pass through a CCTV camera, order pizza online, or even pay with credit card to buy some clothes, we generate data and that “ocean of data” is popularly known as big data. The amount of data that's being created and stored on a universal level is almost inconceivable, and it just keeps growing. The amount of data we create is doubled every year. Big data is a critical concept that integrates all kinds of data and plays an important role for strategic intelligence for any modern company. The importance of big data doesn't revolve around how much data you have, but what you do with it. Big data is now the key for competition and growth for new startups, medium, and big enterprises. Scientific research is now on boom using big data. For the astronomers, Sloan Digital Sky Survey has become a central resource. Big data has the potential to revolutionize research and education as well. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the technologies that are pertinent and essential for big data.
