this educational research project, game-based in-class and after-class learning activities aredeveloped to teach selected inventory control strategies to undergraduate and graduate students.Students from Supply Chain Management and System Simulation courses are targeted, who aretaught by different instructors. The activities include teaching the inventory control policies tostudents in a regular class setting, then providing an overview on a game developed on MS Excel.In the game, the lead time and customer demand variables are defined uncertain, and not given tostudents, which make the assignment an ill-structured problem. A 12-month planning andexecution period is given to students with qualitative and quantitative information about

For example, in Senior Design, students first submit a Project Statement Commented [LAM2R1]:of Work, followed by a Project Plan, two Technical Updates, and, finally, a completed projectreport. When grading each of these preliminary project reports, instructors provided numerouscomments with the intention that students will incorporate the feedback into improved futurereports. However, experience demonstrated that students viewed these comments as punitive orjustification of a grade, with each criticism tied to a point reduction

This reduces cost by minimizing the hardware required.Conversely the design, acquisition, and implementation of the lab environment also presentedchallenges: ● Cost: The laboratory access and scheduling hardware and software cost was approximately $9995.00 with a $2,995.00 yearly license. Additionally, each pod cost was approximately $23,358 and control plane infrastructure to support four lab pods was $7178.00 with plans to scale the infrastructure to 24 lab pods total. ● Labor: After design, the

bothhomogeneous teams and heterogeneous teams [4]. The advantages of homogenous teams aretypically: less conflict, better coordination, advantage of cohesion, and higher satisfaction. Theadvantages of heterogeneous teams are typically: diverse thinking, better performance oncomplex tasks, and more creativity. The disadvantages of homogeneous teams are: groupthink,decisions are one-dimensional (i.e., no contingency planning), and limited innovation. Thedisadvantages of heterogeneous teams are: difficulty agreeing, more conflict, and hard tocoordinate/manage. It has also been shown that homogeneous teams tend to reach a conclusion(albeit an inferior one) faster than heterogeneous teams [4]. This work has been corroboratedand expanded by other studies [5-9

Consistent with thevision of introducing changemaking themes in required classes in the majors, the initial plan wasto do this in several ways including:  Introducing some lecture topics in the context of changemaking  Rewriting some homework problems to include themes related to changemaking  Create two new cases with social justice, humanitarian, or sustainability foundationsIn the end, these goals proved to be overambitious. The first goal was met with modest success,but the last goals proved too difficult for reasons that will be discussed below

-negligible. In fact, even with the best process improvement design, the solution may radically fail if not organically adopted by the people using or contributing to the process. Yet, students consider implementation and adoption to be seamless. Therefore, a realistic solution of this type will always factor in the effects of implementation and adoption to holistically measure the actual improvement that the solution could attain. For example, instead of describing the effectiveness of a solution as a comparison between the future state and the current state, a realistic solution describes at least the deployment plan, incorporating assumptions

The articulation ofscaffolding – “It should be an area of focus with planned progressions in various writing styles:project report, research paper, memo, etc.” – showed faculty conceptualize the progression ofwriting learning [19]. However, this conception focused on learning “how” to perform particularengineering documents rather than the higher level critical thinking skill of rhetoric –understanding why there are genre distinctions, and how to determine these underlying “valuesystems” to adjust writing for future unfamiliar genres. This is a far more valuable skill thanlearning how to write a memo report, because it develops a learner’s

student groups were never profitable but were able to reduce their losses significantly inthe second round. In the second round, it was observed that many of the students had learned thevalue of planning, forecasting, and managing risk when determining the size and source ofinventory replenishment orders. To this end, they applied logic and math in an effort to improvetheir decision-making. For example, one team purchased their entire inventory from California inthe first round, which helped them reduce their total material cost. However, the late arrival ofthe shipment in the third week prevented them from satisfying customer demand in weeks oneand two. As a result, at the end of the week five, the team was left with a large amount of

Data is currently being collected using a different set of students with the same conceptualquiz but taught the topic in a traditional classroom manner (control group). Afterwards, we plan toprovide a comparative analysis of both approaches, control group versus experimental group anddisseminate the results..
