Your customers have specified that a new part you plan to carry must weigh between 95g and 105g. The supplier you generally use says they can provide that part for you. They measure a sample of 40 parts and create a 95% confidence interval on the mean that spans from 97g to 101g. A normal probability plot of the sample confirms the weight of the parts is approximately normally distributed. What should your company do? 2. Your company maintains a fleet of delivery trucks. Fuel cost is a significant expense for the company and your fleet averages 14.9 miles

Even though quantitative results show that this incorporation did not seem tohave an impact on students’ motivation, it did increase students’ knowledge about the GrandChallenges and positively impacted students’ interest. Overall, both quantitative and qualitativeresults show that this real world context based on the NAE Grand Challenges has positivelychanged students’ perception of engineers’ roles and the impact of engineering solutions in thesociety, and has effectively helped students better understand the engineering profession andhow to approach real world engineering problems.Future plans for the project include

In conclusion, a simple and straight forward way to implement DOE exercises in thefreshmen level course titled Circuit I is the right approach to instill critical thinking for hands-onexperience. In addition, it is the right place, based on student aptitude and attitude, to work ontheir own engineering circuit design process. With this success, we plan to implement DOEexercises with different levels of emphasis in advanced courses as well.V ConclusionsIn this paper, a

Issues that arenot able to be resolved are assumed, perhaps implicitly, to remain intractable due to lack ofsufficient resources, failure to engage needed actors, or the inability (as of yet) to articulate avalid solution path. The role of the change agent is that of an engineer or manager.In contrast Theory B views issues as tensions between portions of the system and/or multipleactors that represent a dynamic equilibrium within the system. This equilibrium is the state ofthe system as it currently exists and the state in turn is defined by the existence of tensions. Thetensions do not exist by design, rather they arise almost coincidentally from rational ordefensible positions taken by actors or organizational units within the system
