, is the Introduction to Operations Management course. The Introduction toOperations Management course provides an overview of the functional activities necessary forthe creation and delivery of goods and services. The goal of the course is to give the students abasic understanding of operations management and an appreciation for the many roles anoperations manager can play in an organization. Specific attention is paid to how an operationsmanager impacts strategic and operational decisions across a variety of functional areas in anorganization. Topics covered include: productivity; strategy in a global business environment;project management; quality management; location and layout strategies; human resourcesmanagement; supply chain and

Theyrepresent the various types of research being done on students’ perceptions ofengineering and science related careers. Nadelson and colleagues used surveys to assessthe undergraduate understanding of several engineering career options. The only taskspecific idea used in this survey was that engineers solved problems.45A paper by Rito does address student perceptions of industrial engineers. One of the fewpapers found that focuses on this engineering discipline. However, the question askedwere about

requisite time frame to evaluate material retention.However, formative assessment, helps instructors to save a situation by readjusting teachingmethods and directing students to the main course concepts; thus, both parties (educators andstudents), benefit from the knowledge loop in formative assessment.Summative assessment, an alternative to formative assessment, is well suited for evaluatingmaterial retention. This is usually done at the end of a cycle with a mid-term exam, final exam, aresearch paper or project presentation. Exams are conducted in various forms: take-home, open-notes-open-book, closed-notes-closed-book, closed-notes-closed-book with cheat-sheets.

fifth task requires exercising Bayes' theorem directly or using the box as a tool to aid the calculation.A working design engineer will never encounter a problem where the setting, scaffolding,challenges, and targets are clearly evident. For real problems, structure must be created. Thisinvolves clarifying more than the type of information typically given in traditional textbookproblems. The current conditions and knowledge, the new knowledge needed, the resourcesneeded, the solution method, and the nature of the terminal state must all be defined and clarified.The process may not be orderly all the way through a project, but when the time allotted is almostover, a successful project must produce something that can be clearly displayed

. If we assume that the overall score of a course is 100 points, the maximum pointsattainable by any student at the end of the course is clearly 100. However, the maximum pointsattainable by student at week 5 will depend on the number of homework assignments, projects ormidterm exams completed at that stage and their respective weights in computing the overall 100points that the course is based on. For instance, in this statistics course the grading scheme was: • Homework: 30% (5 assignments, 6% each assignment) • Midterm exam: 30% • Final exam: 40%The deadline for dropping this course was the end of week 8 of the semester. By the end of thatweek, the students had finished 3 homework assignments and the midterm exam. The maximumnumber of

Service learning is growing rapidly and is considered a part ofexperiential education by its very nature of learning, performing a job within the community,and serious reflection by the student. Service learning involves solving some of society'sissues; such as, homelessness, poverty, lack of quality education, pollution, etc. One of thegoals of service learning is to help students become aware of these issues
