knowledge into the domain of healthsystems.A careful review of the current ISE curriculum reveals the following facts: (i) ISE knowledge isbuilt in large on manufacturing systems, (ii) the majority of examples in textbooks are based onmanufacturing systems, (iii) very few universities have health systems concentration in their ISEprograms, and (iv) there is no good textbook(s) generalizing ISE tools in health systems. Whilemany researchers and practitioners have been successfully applying ISE tools to modeling andoptimizing health systems, there is a gap between the healthcare industry needs and academiccourse settings. For examples, although lean and six-sigma have been widely adopted andimplemented in the healthcare settings to reduce wastes and

His subsequent report titled Science, the Endless Frontier, hasas its first canon that basic research is performed without thought of practical ends.2 Its secondcanon states that basic research is the pacemaker of technological improvement.1 The final pieceof the puzzle that led us to where we are today has its roots in the Grinter report released in thelate 1950’s that advocated a more science-based engineering curriculum which eventually led tothe creation of engineering

Within a one-hour undergraduate researchcourse, the goals tend to reach beyond intermediate goals, such as a good grade, and are focusedon larger goals such as learning how to become an engineer and the desire to participate in ahumanitarian endeavor. Situated cognition is a theory of education which asserts that learning and cognition are Page 14.636.2fundamentally situated in a community of practice. In this community, learning is embedded inactivity, and a kind of cognitive apprenticeship develops between a student(s) and a

x3 = Feed Rate 0 = 10 mm/s 1 = 100 mm/sHatch spacing is the distance between lines when the laser fills in a space that has been outlined,such as the circle that is to be machined into a hole. The power is a percentage of full power.The feed rate, also known as pen speed, is essentially the linear speed at which the laser beammoves along the surface of the workpiece. The frequency is the rate at which the laser pulses.
