Radhakrishnan, National University Ben D Radhakrishnan is currently a full time Faculty in the Department of Engineering and Computing, National University, San Diego, California, USA. He is the Academic Program Director for MS Engineer- ing Management program. He develops and teaches Engineering and Sustainability Management grad- uate and undergraduate level courses. Ben has taught Sustainability workshops in Los Angeles (Army) and San Diego (SDGE). His special
course titled ‘Global engineering management 101’.Geographic and Time Zone DifferencesWhen discussing global team barriers, the first thing that comes to mind are the geographic &time zone differences. Hosting a meeting at 11 am PST may be a desirable timeslot for a teammember in the US west coast team member but can be frustrating for a China team member,considering it would be 3am in China.Time zone differences can be more than just inconvenient. Sometimes, they can cause stress inpersonal life and problems in maintaining the work/life balance. For instance, working in theoffice during the normal working hours and then getting back online from home and workinglate thru the night to connect with global team members is common practice for
Paper ID #29709A Study of the Effectiveness of Using Hands-On Active Learning Exercisesin a Production Operations Management CourseMajor Steven Hoak, United States Military Academy Major Steven Hoak currently serves as an instructor at the United States Military Academy in the Depart- ment of Systems Engineering, focusing on engineering management. He is a career Army Aviation and Acquisition Officer.

assuring the portability of the lessons; we don’t expect students to seesituations imitating those they’ve studied, hence the goal must instead be habits of mind andprinciples of action which the student can portage to the circumstances of their professionallives. This paper evaluates the suitability of Richard Paul’s Critical Thinking model as a templatefor evaluating engineering enterprise thinking habits and organizational behavior, using theColumbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) report1 as a case study. Specifically, the authorssought to answer the following questions: “Does the Paul model of Critical Thinking provide abeneficial vocabulary and construct for evaluating complex technological case studies?” and,“Does the structure of

a mentoring role. Most UPRM students completed two terms inthe REU program, one in the summer and the other one either in the spring or fall semester.Students from US-based institutions completed only the summer term in the program, which isstrictly the term of the REU program on which we are focusing in this work. Nonetheless, bothlocal students and students from US-based institutions were sponsored to present their researchprojects at conferences such as the Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference(ISERC), INFORMS Annual Meeting, and Great Minds in STEM.
