fellow AOTS, Japan 2000. She is a senior member of IISE. Angelica has previous experience (six years) in the food manufacturing industry (expe- rience related to inventory management and production planning and control, also information systems such as ERP). During her studies in the United States she worked a research assistant at the Center for Innovation on Healthcare Logistics CIHL, her work for CIHL focused on assessing the impact of GS1 standards adoption in the healthcare supply chain. Her research interests are related to the adaptation of existing manufacturing and logistics models and structures to the healthcare supply chain with a specific focus on medical supplies. She is also interested on engineering

and UShealth-care sector planned to use data and analytics to improve their services and reduce errors.As on today, only 10 to 20 percent of the opportunities planned in 2011 have been realized byboth the sectors due to the shortage of technical talent. [7]In recent years, employment for mathematics related occupations increased by almost 4 percent,yet over the same period of time, the number of degrees conferred in math, statistics, andengineering declined by 2 percent [3]. A recent survey from Harvard Business Review indicatedthat big data initiatives are underway in 85 percent of the companies they surveyed. Theseorganizations also indicated that they planned to fill 91 percent of their data science jobs withnew graduates [6]. Though the

The primary method for data collection consisted of open-endedsurvey items via the EGR_Math course management system. Survey items were developed in theform of one-minute papers, exam wrappers and midterm feedback (Angelo & Cross, 1993;Eberly Center, 2019a). Students were encouraged to complete electronic one-minute papersduring the final few minutes of each class and lab to help instructors plan for the following

. At this time more faculty participation is necessary to fix such learningbottlenecks.We close the present discussion with one example which illustrates how much effort is currentlyspent in exploring possible connectivity of mathematical topics. In a mechanical engineeringprogram, students have an added advantage of observing applied examples and verifyingmathematical models by experiments. Beginning with Statics, mathematical traces are recalledall the way to upper level courses such as ideal flows. Dynamics receives a pivotal importancefor this purpose. This final example also points out a new trend [1] that is developing in studentperformance (which defies our concerted planning efforts).One of the difficult conceptual areas that students
