In our example, “Help Recruit and Retain Talent”, “Develop Professional Skills”, and “Improve Problem Solving” have the most color. These are the areas where our hypothetical organization is demonstrating the most strength and thus can be used to help buffer the areas which are weaker. It is important, however, not to diminish these elements while working on improving the other areas of the wheel.  What element(s) of the wheel have the least color?

The other 18 residences weresingle-family homes with a square footage of 1700 feet, with a variance of 400 feet. These valueswere obtained with the assistance of the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey, whichcan be used as a basis for determining the nature of housing in a given area [10]. With GridLab-D, these variances allow for randomization in the model with 400 feet as the value for onestandard deviation.

For this project students were expected to use concepts theylearned in previous classes (specifically statics, solid mechanics and computational methods).

familiar estimationof standard deviation from range values. Although the Tabular Method is simple to use, it hassome disadvantages4. First, the range estimation of standard deviation is an approximation and issometimes inefficient. Second, it is sometimes desirable to obtain confidence intervals on thesources of measurement variation5, and that is not easily accomplished with the Tabular Method.Third, a gage capability study is truly a designed experiment so the principles of goodexperimental analysis should be applied. It is noteworthy the D.

. Inaddition, this experiment can be used to obtain thermodynamics data, specifically the enthalpy ofvaporization as well as a portion of the phase diagram for the chosen liquid.In the future I plan to work to improve this experiment. The first problem to explore is that theflask needs to be jostled to maintain boiling, likely due to the surface tension of methanol. Thismight be overcome by either using a shaker table or using a different fluid. In addition, it willlikely be beneficial for students to use addiitonal liquids so that they can build a “consensus” andbe even more convincing that boiling cold is not only possible but quite normal with a widevariety of applications.References[1] T.

Therefore, students who did not have the necessarymathematical abilities to be successful in engineering courses needed help to pursue theirengineering majors and complete their engineering degrees. In order to retain and supportengineering majors, many universities have offered bridge programs in mathematics for students[3][4]. Such programs were common in the 1990’s and have increased again recently as the needhas been recognized widely. Bridge programs aimed to increase engineering students’ retentionby strengthening their mathematical competencies. There are many types of bridge programs indifferent disciplines, especially science and mathematics. Bridge mathematics programs weremore common in mathematics than science
