The intent of this paper is to report on our investigative procedures and emergentpreliminary themes from our ongoing work. The final coding process is currently underway, toform the basis of developing conclusions via a grounded theory approach. Data collected in thisstudy informs the development of a peer-mentoring program within engineering at LMU, whichseeks to improve students’ sense of community, provide strategies for overcoming challenges,and address other themes discovered in this study.1.

Scrum employs acyclical feedback process in which the current progress of a project is used to update projectplanning incrementally and produce products on an iterative basis. Development cycles, calledSprints, are only a few weeks long, which enables quick adjustments to changing requirements orto new knowledge gained during the sprint. The Scrum framework consists of [5]: ● Members: Product Owner, Scrum master, and Development Team ● Events: Sprint Planning, Stand-up, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective ● Artifacts: Product and Sprint Backlogs ● Definitions and rules governing Scrum implementationFigure

However, it fails to highlight how students perform across an array ofinterconnected bits of concepts or knowledge units that are vital to gaining a better understanding of themultidimensional nature students’ prior knowledge. Since student knowledge is an interconnection of smallideas, it is necessary their test scores should be multifaceted.Alternatively, instead of reporting unidimensional total score on the concepts a CI assesses, we couldincrease the relevance of CI results if test outcome reporting is based on a multi-dimensional scoringscheme. For example, students’ outcome on the test could be reported as multiple scores that indicate howwell they have mastered cognitive attributes (or smaller knowledge units) that predict mastery of

Alternatively, how would the addition of a NAAB accredited Master of ArchitectureProgram to the ABET Architectural Engineering Technology Program benefit graduates? Theresult of potentially offering students different tracks to for a BSc in Architectural TechnologyProgram and Bachelor of Architecture Program at one institution will also be evaluated.

The convex recoloring problem is a clustering problem to partition nodes of a network into connected subnetworks. We develop a hybrid rule combining the Dantzig’s Rule and the Steepest Edge Rule to produce columns which enter into the basis of the master problem in the column generation framework introduced by Chopra et al.

This“tacit knowledge5” cannot be mastered solely through the textbook or lecture. A combination oftheory and structured practice followed by guided reflection is needed to develop the practicalcompetencies required of a professional skilled in the management of multi-disciplinary projectteams.This paper describes a graduate-level engineering management course that incorporates anintensive practicum designed to build these competencies at the tacit level.

Final grades were assigned based on the number of chapters mastered and the numberof projects completed. The topic order was arranged such that a student earning a passing gradewould be able to analyze rate data and design simple reactors with single chemical reactionoccurring. To obtain a higher grade a student was required to be able to handle reactions andreactor systems that were more complex.

these software have evolved greatly andenabled designers to predict the outcome of their designs. Some of these software are currentlybeing utilized by the largest automobile companies. In reference to the goal of reducing the totalcost, companies have found that 70% [1] of the total life-cycle cost of a product is determined inthe early concept design stage. It is important to make the right choices in this early designphase.The various courses offered for mechanical engineering technology (MET) program at CentralMichigan University have incorporated such a software called I-DEAS, which is developed byStructural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC).
