To stay competitive, engineering andtechnology students need to learn the latest software used in their associated fields as wellas to understand relevant modeling and simulation frameworks. To provide students abetter learning experience discrete-event modeling software based hands-on learningexamples are developed and implemented for the junior level Facilities Planning course.This paper shares examples of the hands-on learning activities that are incorporated intothe Facilities Planning course.IntroductionAccording to the International Facility Management Association (IFMA)’s Profiles 2011Salary and Demographics Research Report, the average facility manager is “personallyresponsible for the entire
given survey was paper and pencil format. The end of course survey consisted oftwo parts: Likert scale items and three open-ended questions. The Likert scale items askedstudents “to what extent do you agree that each of the following topics improved your ability toeffectively interact with your partner(s) in the problem-solving studio?” Eleven topics oninterpersonal skills were given including i.e. constructive feedback, selective attention, effectivelistening. Each topic was given with a 6 point Likert scale ranging from 0 – I don’t recall thistopic, 1 – disagree strongly, to 6 – agree strongly. Student mean scores ranged from 0 – 6. Eachtopic was scored for overall mean therefore, if a student answered zero on the Likert scale thezero was
minutes. Most students correctly solvedthe seventh level on the first try, suggesting they had learned the objective. We took a look atsubmissions by students who made many attempts. One such student needed 4 tries to completelevel 1, 2 tries for level 2, 1 try for level 3, 4 tries for level 4, 1 try for level 5, 10 tries for level 6,and 1 try for level 7. The student spent about 5 minutes in total. Two weeks later, the samestudent worked through the activity again, perhaps preparing for an exam, and completed in justover 1 minute and making only 3 incorrect submissions across all levels.

frameworks exist for characterizing individual differences; our choices are basedon the rigor of the underlying theories and the reliability and validity of the related assessmentinstruments. In this paper, we will focus on our use of Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation Theory [27]and the KAI® (Kirton Adaption-Innovation inventory), which measures individual cognitive style[26]. We are also exploring the use of ABAKAS, a validated measure of engineeringinnovativeness based on Ferguson, et al.’s model of that construct [13, 14]; that work will bepresented in future publications. The individual cognitive style data provided by KAI was used inthe current study to supplement the team interaction data provided by IDN to develop a richerpicture of I-Corps™ team

The need for these experiences has been widely embraced,and the vehicles for achieving that goal have taken many forms [1].No single program, or even one type of program, will achieve these goals alone.

This ability, coupled with theparticipant having Becky’s vantage and mirrored body movements, enables participants to feelmore immersed as the actual character. Although the evolution of conversation is dependentupon the selections of the participant, there are key statements made by the professor that areindependent of the participant’s response.
