He can be reached at Yearwood@und.edu c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 An Innovative Project-based Learning Approach to Teach Project ManagementAbstract Project-based learning often asks students to create a project plan for a real or imaginaryclient that is built upon what is learned in one or more courses. However, while the project-basedlearning pedagogical approach appears to be a useful candidate for providing students withhands-on experiences, how can we as educators create meaningful project planning

The conclusion of this paper proposes a “short course”or workshop outline in order to facilitate implementation in a curriculum at a small scale. It willcover SE3 topics relating to management and organizational leadership and consider theirapplicability to students in both engineering management and

at the same pace as the collection [5]. There needs to be a method allowing fordata utilization and timely implementation to improve student retention. For instance, thecreation of predictive models that allow for the recognition of students at risk for attrition willenable timely interventions. By identifying the factors through a prediction model, universitiesand college can provide intentional student advising and planning. Further, higher educationinstitutions can develop retention strategies that focus on identified student needs that meet theirspecific campus needs [6].According to the literature, machine learning techniques have been applied to predict studentsuccess with high confidence [7].

From the beginning of time,humans have learned by doing, trying, and failing, until they found a solution. Wurdinger andAllison say this type of learning is a cognitive process, which must include planning, testing, andreflecting all in the same learning experience [1]. A number of such

, there islittle research regarding effective ways of introducing blockchain concepts into higher educationcourses. This paper will show the effectiveness of using a paper-based supply chain simulationas a pedagogical tool for introducing blockchain, distributed ledger technology, and creatingopportunities to change how business transactions and processes are taught in higher education.IntroductionThis paper introduces a paper-based simulation game to introduce students to blockchaintechnology, with specific applicability for an enterprise resource planning or information andcomputer technology course. This is accomplished by modifying the “Paper Game” simulationoriginally developed by the ERPsim Lab at HEC Montreal (https://erpsim.hec.ca

Stress over and over again thepurpose is not to make a Financial Operational Model to get a value for the Internal Rate of Return,Net Present Value, and Payback time in years. It is to develop scenarios to test the project’sviability, to see potential weaknesses that must be studied further before moving ahead with theproject, and to plan for success. And that is not all. A good Financial Operational Model is a livingdocument. Once the design is built and put in practice, it still has use. It can be modified todetermine upgrades to potential equipment, changes to feed stocks, issues with labor wages

. • Internal Failure Costs: Costs associated activities when product or process fail internally (before and product / service has not been experienced by the customer). Examples include scrap, rework, equipment unscheduled downtime, etc. • External Failure Costs: Costs associated with activities resulting from product or service not conforming to requirements after being experienced by to the customer. Examples include processing and replacement of customer returns, warranty charges, etc.The above costs can be divided into conformance (prevention and appraisal) andnonconformance (internal and external failures). The conformance costs are associated withactivities that are normally planned while the failure costs are not

Additionally, more than half ofthe students could see themselves as an engineer or scientist. [13]In another peer mentoring program, the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) program atSyracuse University implemented a mentoring program focused on helping women graduatestudents in engineering and computer science and Arts and Sciences, designed to address thedrop-off of women in engineering at the graduate level. The program helped address barriers ofisolation and the lack of successful women role models at the graduate level. [14]Another graduate peer mentoring program was implemented in a research-oriented

students to confront theincident from a complex perspective and engage with the engineering tools used toidentify hazards, consequences, and risks used in practice to prevent incidents using theplan/do/check/act (PDCA) cycle. Incident case studies afford opportunities for studentsto engage in redesign, release modeling, procedural analysis, layers of protectionanalysis, and emergency response planning while they examine the leadership,management, and ethical implications of the incident. The case study experience withreflection can lead to an examination of their personal values and beliefs aboutengineering, sustainability, and their responsibilities in the context of engineeringpractice, leadership, and management.Lac Mégantic and MGPI Processing

Specific methods andtechniques taught and applied are operations strategy, product design and selection, total qualitymanagement, capacity planning, facility location, facility layout, work system design, leansystems, and scheduling. This course is required for those pursuing the Engineering Managementmajor and an elective for other engineering and non-engineering majors. The students in thecourse represent a diverse academic cross-section consisting of Engineering Management to non-engineering majors, honor students academically excelling to low-GPA at-risk students, andfrom sophomores (second year) to seniors (graduating).
