Also, a correlation between some of the student’s communication, attendance, andlearning management system usage versus their course grades could be completed. Further, anANOVA could be completed if demographic, ANGEL usage, email usage, and coursesatisfaction were known for each individual student (currently these are known only at theaggregate level).Bibliography 1.

. Employment growth willbe driven by increasing demand for healthcare and social assistance because of an agingpopulation and longer life expectancies. Employment in administrative support and wastemanagement and remediation services is projected to grow by 31 percent and add 2.5million new jobs to the economy by 2014. Service industries have accounted for almostall U.S. job growth since the 1960’s. Wages in the service sector overall have risen fasterthan wages in most other sectors.The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the most complete information concerning IE and IETemployment. Analysis of their data is somewhat limited due to the lack of informationabout job titles or degree types. Another gap in the data concerns the other job titles thatIEs and

currently being developed to enhanceundergraduate curricula to meet the industrial needs for engineers with education in lean. Thepurpose of the research is to address these expectations by developing learning modules thatincorporate lean simulation models into various Engineering Management, IndustrialEngineering, and Mechanical Engineering courses at Missouri S&T, Texas Tech, and SouthDakota State, respectively. In recent years, increasing global competition, rapidly changingtechnology, and a deficit of U.S. engineering graduates have intensified the need to producegraduating engineers who are effective problem solvers and analytical thinkers, yet who can alsocollaborate on interdisciplinary teams to address complex, real-world systems.

The new tax code presented a potential forsignificant reduction in logistics costs. An example of the pre-project distribution centreconfiguration is provided in Figure 5.

%), the best model for AIC, AICc, and BIC was to only include three variables in a linearmodel: Prior Semester GPA, Calculus II grade, and the Time of Day binary variable (e.g.,morning or afternoon – with morning students performing worse on Test 1). The summary ofthis information is provided in Tables 4-6. These results were consistent across all demographics(e.g., gender, race, age); however, we cannot report on whether these demographic results weresignificant for specific demographics due to sample size.In each of the Tables 4-6, the results provided include an analysis of variance (ANOVA), valuesfor the performance metrics (s, R2, Adjusted R2, AIC, AICc, and BIC), and parameter estimates.Since the resulting models were all linear, the

Our datasuggests that spreadsheets must be incorporated into quizzes and or examinations in order toassess student abilities in these areas. Thus, while our teaching has evolved to includespreadsheets, so must our examination procedures.IntroductionCapital investments require analyses by engineers with tools and insight into whether theinvestment is sound. The field of engineering economy provides these tools. In order to make asound decision, a three-phase approach to evaluate the risk of a project is necessary: 1. Identify the risk, or risks, of an investment project. 2. Analyze the identified risk(s) of the project. 3. Assess how the identified risks
: Leadership Strategies for Quality andProductivity; Stochastic Systems Engineering; and Capstone Design. It is the researchers’intention that the act of sharing best practices can assist others in teaching efficiently andeffectively, not only during a pandemic but also for teaching during normal circumstances. Theoverarching goal of this research is to “move the needle” with respect to improving persistence 7and completion rates of engineering students worldwide through implementing best practices inteaching. Although our focus was on best practices within engineering, we are confident that othercourses outside of engineering would also benefit from this information.6. References1. Binnewies, S. and

This initiated a timeframe, usually a week,within which students had two challenges to complete in order to be eligible to take that topictest.The first challenge, the student needed to acquire a completely worked-out problem thatillustrated the concept of the just completed topic. This problem could be one of the studentsown devising or from a textbook, class web page, or any other source. The student then wouldschedule an appointment with the instructor to do an oral presentation of the problem. Thestudent would explain step by step the procedure(s) used in the solution of the problem. Thisprovides the instructor an opportunity to examine the students’ critical thinking skills.

The impact of the implementation of the DSS,modified facility layouts and ergonomic considerations were studied through these experimentsand the sensitivity analysis. It was found that the throughput would increase by 20% and theturnaround time would decrease by more than 20% with the suggested modifications. Further,with the implementation of one or more additional recommendations, the throughput wouldincrease by at least 15% over the existing system. Moreover, the application turnaround timeswould also decrease by at least 20%.
