-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

"[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

that were asked onthe trip. The expectation was for them to relate their answers to concepts learned in class whichwere reinforced on the trip. The instructor(s) teaching the course with the subject most alignedwith the trip had the responsibility of grading that assignment. To make this a manageableresponsibility for the instructor, a rubric was used in grading the field-trip reports (Appendix 1).Six Sigma DMAIC LabsThe curriculum included a course in Quality Management, which covered Six Sigmamethodology and tools, lean thinking practices and tools, process mapping, and applications forbusiness process improvement. Six Sigma is a method to reduce variation in business processes.DMAIC is a problem-solving technique integral to lean Six Sigma

These are the ones sometimes discussed in design textbooks.Ask students if that is all there is to a Financial Operational Model? See what the students answerhere. Get them to understand the sheer power of having the engineering design melded to theeconomics. What does that truly mean? Start to get them to see other types of sensitivities that arenot simply linear changes in slope but can have actual minimum or maximum optimal values.Examples include key design specifications to the product, parameter uncertainty in the modelsfor a piece of equipment such as extent of

. External failure costs are themost significant since they are found by the customer and would likely impact their level ofsatisfaction. Their true impact in the long run is unknown or unknowable [1]. Overall, Juranestimated that unplanned quality-related costs could be as high as 20% of sales [4]Since their inception as a quality management concept in the 1950’s, research on quality costsensued with models developed for optimization. The PAF, which refers to prevention (P),appraisal (A), and failure (F) is the first of such models. The PAF model shows the total qualitycost function as the sum of costs of conformance (P and A) and costs of nonconformance (F) [5].The three functions (cost of conformance, cost of nonconformance and total quality
