With the gage affixed, the beam is mounted in a cantilever fashionafter which a series of weights are suspended to it in a sequential test. The resistance of the straingage is measured for each series of weights. Next, a Wheatstone bridge is constructed in a ¼bridge configuration. A series of weights are suspended again in a sequential test after which thebridge output voltage is measured

High efficiency supply chain processesTo support and use supplier alliances in new solutions, Maximus is considering developing aTechnical Marketplace. Their suppliers allow them to sell products via the MAXIMUS platformbecause they invest in their employees’ qualifications specific to the supplier’s technicalofferings (e.g. ensuring employees are trained by for the distribution andsales of certain key ’s products). This enables MAXIMUS to sell theseproducts in their Marketplace. These training processes could be multiplied out through manyother manufacturers in Germany with technically demanding products

of programming may each be most relevant for different types of careers,but BME programs generally do not know what careers their students will have, and with acrowded curriculum, choices have to be made about what type of computing course(s) to require.In some cases this decision is made for all programs by the engineering school, but more than60% of universities give BME the responsibility of deciding on fundamental programmingcourses, and additional applications courses are at the discretion of the department. The data may be useful in several ways. They show a diversity of approaches, withMATLAB, CAD, and modeling being the most prevalent courses. In general, they allow aprogram to judge whether it is in the mainstream of BME

the 1990’s, there was anational effort to develop programs to involve faculty to train them to use more varied teachingmethods [9]. Previous faculty development programs include SUCCEED and ECSEL Coalitions[10], FOUNDATION Coalition [11], and GATEWAY Coalition [9]. These entities work todevelop and execute professional development programs for faculty to train them in diverse andmodern teaching approaches.One type of program that has shown positive progress is based upon summer workshops orinstitutes for faculty devoted to teaching practices. One example is the National AcademiesSummer Institutes (SIs) [12, 13]. Beginning as a biology summer institute, this program has beenoperating since 2004. The SIs are intensive multi-day workshops were

Also, a more formal survey will be administered to students and faculty to determine thesatisfaction level with the new course and areas for improvement. A subsequent paper will besubmitted to a future conference to discuss these results as they are generated.References[1] Laugerman, M., Shelley, M., Rover, D., & Mickelson, S., “Estimating survival ratesin engineering for community college transfer students using grades in calculus and physics,”International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 3(4), 313-321,2015.[2] Bichof, G., Rubesa, D., “Correlation between engineering students’ performance inmathematics and academic success,“ 2015 American Society for

the way.The task of coalition building can be described as the task of selling the idea [12]. Sellingthe idea in this context means finding potential allies for its implementation. Thus, a largepart in the management of innovation is the management of attention [30]. The process canbe described as an interplay of several roles that are taken by several individuals. There isthe “champion” of an idea who is usually the person or the team who generated the idea orwas/were early advocates [31, 32]. The champion tries to gain the attention of people in theorganization that s/he evaluates as indispensable for the realization of the idea [12]. These areusually people in the higher hierarchy of the organization. Galbraith [33] distinguishesbetween
