applied probability itself, butalso for the nature of problems. They should understand structuring problems and posing problems.They should be informed that there is a spectrum of problems, ranging from well-structuredproblems with definite answers and clear boundaries, such as are found in traditional textbooks (andnowhere else), and open-ended, ill-structured problems, such as are found in the engineeringworkplace. The essential and unique point is that learners s must pose, clarify, and define problems,not simply solve them.And, at the same time, learners should practice metacognitive skills such as reflecting on how theyare building these schemes. Metacognitive activities are manifold and not easy to classify. Howeverthere is widespread

Students, not in the leaderrole, seem likely to shun accepting responsibilities and particularly lack a feeling ofresponsibility for failures.Leadership Differentiated. At this stage, engineering students are able to differentiate their viewand recognize leadership being non-positional, and “as-needed”. Leadership is starting to berecognized as a process. Those in positional roles engage in shared, participative leadership.Their responsibilities shift from making things happen to facilitator and community builderwithin their group(s). In so doing, students recognize that that leadership can be demonstrated byanyone in the group. Students not in positional roles

Obviously, if these are known, they would influence thedecision.Also, the gap in Capital Cost and Life Cycle Cost is large compared to the reduction in downtimehours. That may mean that other cases like III A, etc. should be examined. It appears that theremay be an ‘S” curve in Cost Effectiveness between Tier III and IV.Implications for Engineering Economics (EE) EducationThis case illustrates how the analysis method, Figures of Merit and decision criteria areinfluenced by downtime estimate units and whether this estimate should be included as part

Althoughsome assessment activities are conducted every year, each group ofoutcomes receives primary attention during alternating years.Not all courses in the curriculum are involved in course-embeddedassessment. The choice of courses is guided by the followingprinciples:  Each Student Outcome will be assessed with student work in a course(s) termed “benchmark course(s).”  Only required (not elective) courses in the program curriculum will be selected as benchmark courses.  Although a benchmark course will likely address multiple Student Outcomes, typically one or two of its learning outcomes will be designated

The consumer market gives a good demonstration of how products movethrough their life cycle in a year or less showing the familiar bell-shaped revenue curve.However, the underlying components and technologies can last for many productgenerations. They show the classical S-curve but there is an additional feature that makesprediction difficult. As one technology matures, it is replaced by a more advancedversion. Thus there are many generations of maturity for the same basic technology.This is reflected in different
