-dirty prototypes to gain quick feedback. Functionalprototypes are built for benchmarking purposes while at the same time verifying whether theproposed solutions actually resolve the issue(s). Through the design-build-test process, it isexpected that students would develop the knowledge and experience of the “subject matterexperts”, and thus various activities at the project planning stage will become more meaningful.Using the test result(s) of functional prototypes, the team(s) will revise their solution(s) anddevelop a project plan to scale up their proposed solution(s), either with a product productionline or a service model. The paper will conclude by discussing the outcome of this approach,identify possible limitations, and provide

Blackboard is the existing LMS in use; however, Canvas iscurrently undergoing a trial on campus. Three students in undergraduate courses onQuality and Human Factors worked with their course instructors and members of thecampus educational technology department to evaluate the two learning managementsystems. This project was part of their undergraduate research. The goal of theresearch was to collect user data, analyze performance, and develop conclusionsregarding the two LMS for the campus. Based on the analysis, recommendations weremade for

Indeed, work done to understand whywomen and minorities leave the profession will help bolster a declining talent pool, but it mayalso help to understand job satisfaction across the board. Results could be expected to be similaramong other engineering disciplines, but this has yet to be explored. This is one area of studythat could be expanded. Other areas that merit focused is best practices for addressing work-lifebalance, managerial communication strategies, and tactics used to prompt an employee’semotional investment into a company
