Stage 3: In this stage, the orthogonal arrays (OA) and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios are calculated and used to determine the most useful set of predictive variables. Larger S/N ratios are preferred and indicate a possible useful predictive variable. 3 Stage 4: The variables that were identified as significant due to a positive S/N are used to develop a forecasting model.

need is by using teams (Varvel, Adams,Pridie, & Ruiz Ulloa, 2004). Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S. Adams & Ruiz, 2004; Pascarella &Terenzini, 2005). Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors. Several initiativeshave been done in engineering education -like project-based learning and team-basedlearning to try to promote teamwork skills (Felder & Brent, 2009; Prince, 2004). However

"[11] J. S. Russell, "Mentoring in Engineering" [8] The SE3 report goes beyond the topics of diversity and inclusion to address key issuesrelating to job satisfaction for all structural engineers. 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

solution process is more important than the finalproduct.”Barrows4, doing research in the medical education field in the 1980’s, stated that problem-basedlearning can have many different meanings, depending on the skills of the teacher and theeducational learning objectives being pursued. In the medical field, existing cases taken from themedical research literature are an important part of the educational process. Barrows saw that ataxonomy was needed to help differentiate the many types of case-based learning processespossible. The taxonomy ranges from cases explained mostly via lecture, through looking at acase from beginning to end, applying lessons learned, and starting back at the beginning of thecase again, to see is a different approach to
