Participants then were asked to identify leaders theyhave known and reflect on the traits and leadership qualities of those individuals. Each wrotetheir own definition of leadership and discussed with the group. Prior to Module 4, participants were asked to do an assignment using their characterstrengths identified in the VIA survey. In Module 4, participants shared their stories andcompared VIA results, identifying their own personal signature strengths. This was followed bya presentation and discussion on energy managementxii and the high performance pyramid. In thefinal phase of this

You are a group of mechanicalengineering graduates just graduated from UAEU and are in the process of forming aproduct design and manufacturing company. You want to have this contract to launch yourcompany. But the competition is very high. Eighteen companies including yours haverecorded interest in bidding for the contract. Make a bid on the specified format given andmake a presentation to the interviewing board to convince them to choose your bid.The students were told that the product should have the emotional appeal reflecting thecharacteristic character of the region and product

(fill plant) have a larger variance than sales tothe buyer (distribution branch) (Lee, Padmanabhan, & Whang, 2004). The two major causes ofthe bullwhip effect seen at Red Ball Oxygen are demand signal processing, in which a surge ofdemand in one period is interpreted as a signal of high future demand, as well as the rationinggame, in which the buyer issues an order that exceeds the quantity reflecting demand in responseto a situation in which demand potentially exceeds supply (Lee et al., 2004).The team created a centralized purchasing function for the distribution branches called a branchstock planner. This branch stock planner will use sales history to create an inventorystratification that informs stocking levels for the distribution

Second, we describe our experience offering an interdisciplinary,flipped, service-learning, maker, open-science course and specially describe the projectsthat emerged in this course. We close with some reflections on the experience, andprovide some recommendations for other instructors who might be interested in tryingthis idea out on their own campuses.    The Idea of Commons-based Peer Production    In his 2006 book The Wealth of Networks, intellectual property law scholar, YochaiBenkler coined the phrase “commons-based peer production” to describe the “mostsignificant

Therefore, it is critical to wear safety gloves so the resin does get on the user’s body parts.  Wear safety glasses: It is important to wear safety glasses around the 3D printer. When the enclosure is open, the resin could splash into the user’s eyes. The resin can cure to the eye and can cause permanent eye damage.  Wash any part of you that come in contact with resin: Again the resin can cure to the skin, so if any part of the user’s body comes in

sufficiently undersized to slideinto the slots on both enclosures. Upon measuring the parts, they found that panel thickness wasthe same as the slot width, leaving no room for clearance. After further reflection and discussionwith the faculty mentors, the students realized that the specified clearances were less than the.012” minimum layer thickness of the Dimension machine. In slicing the STL into individualcross sections, the slight difference was not captured as in effect it “rounded up” and printedanother .012” layer when only a fraction of that thickness was specified by the CAD file. Thiswas remedied by using a deburring knife and razor to slightly trim the guide slots until the panelwas able to slide in with reasonable effort.A second challenge

Engineer was the primary contact during thisphase. After the sensors and actuators were installed and functioning correctly, studentswrote a simple program to check gripper function at the pick-up point. A few smalladjustments had to be made to the gripper design at this time to allow for compatibility withthe feeder equipment. The changes are reflected in the drawings included in Appendix A.The accuracy of the points taught was crucial at this step to ensure the proximity sensorwould be close enough to find the screws. The sensor does not sense metal until it is 0.8mmfrom it, so the error margin during this segment of the program is almost nonexistent

-prepared keyblank is used to make a copy of the key for the target lock. This key reflects the lock’s bitting.The blank is placed in the lock, torque is applied, and the key is moved up and down againstthe pins; any pin at the improper height will be bound against the sides of the lock body andcylinder. This binding friction slightly marks the pins on the blank. The key is then removedfrom the lock, inspected for marks, and cut with a file where they are found. Cuts are madeone bit-depth at a time, and the process is repeated. This can be done for all pins in the lock atonce under normal circumstances. If the attack is successful, the attacker will end up with aworking key. The only caveat is that the attacker must apply the proper torque and
