Reactionevaluations (Level 1) have been around in the form of Student Perception of Teaching (SPT)surveys since the “Berkeley Slate” used in the 1960’s. While the post-tests associated withLearning evaluation (Level 2) are much more common in engineering education than pre-tests(sometimes called diagnostic exams), these also are fairly familiar devices. The approach toevaluation that I want to discuss in this paper relates more to the third or Behavior level ofevaluation—what attitudes relative to the future use of learning have been instilled byinstruction, possibly as unintentional outcomes?You might note here that attitudes are also learned, in the

The Internet was originally designed to provide a communications networkthat would function even if some of the sites were destroyed by nuclear attack. Since theInternet was initially funded by the government, its use was limited to research, education,military and governmental purposes. Commercial uses were prohibited unless they directlyserved the goals of research and education. This policy continued until the early 1990’s, whenindependent commercial networks began to grow. It soon became possible to route traffic acrossthe country from one commercial site

The essential elements ofthe new situation are:• growing demand for the graduates in business-related and management-related disciplines,• growing demand for service-oriented professions,• market-driven professional re-orientation of Polish society,• accelerated development of international economic co-operation,• strong pressure on economically efficient education.The last-mentioned element appeared not only due to the introduction of the mechanisms

facultysalaries. During the 1980s, we were very successful in obtaining additional funds to increasefaculty salaries. In the 1990’s, however, financial changes occurred within the university thathave made it harder for our school to obtain the needed additional base funds to bring our facultysalaries to the level of our peer institutions. We realize that there is a need to explore otheravenues to reward faculty, especially in light of the fact that increases to base funding in highereducation remains difficult to acquire.In this paper, we outline the development of a compensation plan specifically designed to attract,retain, and motivate faculty. In order to do this, we will first look at the challenges and changeshigher education faces pertaining to

Then these formulas are ported to a totally different environment, that of industrywherein reinvestment occurs in a multitude of projects with different rates of return. This canlead good students to ask potentially embarrassing questions such as:1. Why use formulas derived under one set of conditions in a totally different environment?2. Why is the minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) used as the discount rate?Answering these questions merely requires a few pages of reading.

The computer was strictly for research and all data entry wasthrough a punished tape. The hand held calculator came along, but it was too expensive for theaverage student to own.

General Motors traditionally procured over 70% of its automobile parts from captiveinternal suppliers, now called Delphi Automotive Systems, per the idea of vertical integration.In 1992, J.
