methodologies and others do notconsider the linkage between basic inventory management principles with lean manufacturing.This paper presents an approach to implement lean manufacturing from the existing condition ofmass or batch production. The implementation consists of series of activities or projects thatneed to be done from start to finish and repeated again. Some projects have to be done beforeothers can start. The paper also shows how some important principles of lean manufacturing canbe taught using inventory management concepts.

According to PR Newswire(2002), an authoritive study of internet use predicts “IM accounts will grow from 225 million in2002, to reach 989 million in 2006. It also predicts that Instant Messaging will becomeincreasingly commonplace in corporate environments over the next four years, projecting thatworldwide IM accounts for business purposes will grow from 35 million in 2002, to reach 118million in 2006”.

processes is a cornerstone ofEC 20001.Given the limitations of achievement tests in fulfilling outcomes assessment requirements, theassessment community has recommended several alternative approaches for assessing studentoutcomes. These include portfolios, capstone design project evaluations, student, alumni andemployer surveys, and placement data of graduates. Yet, written surveys administered to currentstudents are the most frequently used assessment instruments, due in part to two reasons – one,they are relatively inexpensive to conduct, and, two, a high response rate is almost guaranteed. Anatural question is whether these student self-assessments are valid substitutes for test questionscreated and scored by an instructor.This paper reports the

With the student organization leading the tour, presentation, andhands-on activities, the faculty member is then able to put his/her efforts into developing thecontacts with middle school classes, training the members of the student organization for theirparticipation, organizing the manufacturing facility tour, and soliciting the small amount offunding required. The need to develop the three activities of the program, manufacturing facilitytour, class presentation, and hands-on project, are, hopefully, thoroughly addressed in this paper.There are many

The engineering student will be given an overview ofeach of these topics with an exemplary activity to match. The goal is to give them an appreciationof how each of these topics impacts the design process. Unfortunately, most engineers spendlittle of their time on the job actually doing what most of them would consider “design work”. Alltoo often, engineers are tasked with responsibilities, in addition to those mentioned in theIntroduction of this paper, relating to field issues and problems, negotiations with suppliers,testing, project management, and

The 68HC11EVBU has beenthe platform for this course.Both modules have provided educators with necessary tools to fulfill microcontroller courseobjectives. If so, why change? The primary reason for switching from the 68HC11 to 68HC12microcontroller is that Motorola is no longer producing both evaluation boards due to oldtechnology-based components on the boards. Rather than creating new boards based on the68HC11, Motorola is pushing universities to use the next generation microcontroller, the68HC12.The 68HC12 improved the 68HC11 system performance by incorporating an instruction queuingsystem, similar to a parallel-pipe instruction

EducationThe “experiment” was a good candidate, but it was too time consuming. I decided to simulate theexperiment on the computer (once slowly, to let the students experience it) and then to repeat thesimulation many times almost instantaneously to achieve the better estimates. Fig. 5 is a snapshotof the front panel of the VI that I projected on the screen for the statistical exponential decayexperiment. Each student in the class is represented by a LED on the panel. If the LED is on, thestudent is standing. If it is off, the student has “starved”. I gave the students the opportunity toact it out as the simulation ran on the projector screen and soon the simulation turned into a gamewith the last ones standing receiving enthusiastic cheers.At the end
