Theknowledge map will identify the source of the knowledge, any prerequisites, and if possible thecourse(s) responsible. At this level, the knowledge items are at a higher level than those found atthe course level. (Example: Course-level: apply node voltage analysis to solve multi-nodecircuits.

on assessment andcontinuing improvement in its philosophy.II. Defining Continuous ImprovementThe term “continuous improvement” is derived from the essence of the Japanese term KAIZENwhich is a systematic approach to the closing of gaps between customer expectations and thecharacteristics of process outputs. First used in the 1950’s, it has since been known by termssuch as Continuous Quality Improvement and Continuous Process Improvement as well as beingclosely tied, and almost synonymous, with the umbrella expression called Total QualityManagement (TQM).In an article in Quality Digest, Danny Langdon [1] states: Continuous Process Improvement is designed to utilize the resources of the organization to achieve a quality-driven

In Norway, Spain and Sweden, the level ofsubsidies, transferred from the State budget to the IHEs, has been related to the effects ofeducation (e.g. to the number of graduates).The first symptoms of a severe financial crisis of higher education appeared in Poland in theearly 90’s. As a response, based on the analysis of the world situation, the idea of partialpayment for studies, coupled with individually-granted loans available to all interestedstudents, was put forward.

The Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (3rd Edition) was to prove a fundamental source,including a sample flowsheet of the dehydrogenation process. McKetta’s Encyclopedia ofChemical Processing Design was also useful, although in 1989 it had not yet published volumesup to the letter “s”!The design teams needed answers for at least the first two questions that had been put to them,and I hoped that the journal literature would provide both the

However, these concerns can be Page 5.98.6resolved as long as the assigned teacher(s) understand the program's philosophy and has thepatience, enthusiasm and flexibility to implement the necessary innovations.Students’ resistance to change
