financial resources to support the student in the classroom.There is always some risk when placing a new instructor in the classroom for the first timewhether they are a new faculty, adjunct, or graduate student. The administrator’s concern is thatthe students receive effective instruction afforded them. Use of an assigned mentor with adedicated interest in the student reduces this risk and provides a strong support system thatincreases their chance of success.It is important that the administrative level also take part in the process. This begins with aninitial interview of the student to ensure they understand the importance of the assignment andall that will be required of them during the semester. Then it is beneficial to take the time to sit

began switching todifferent curriculums, such as modular laboratories, 15 because of the expenses associated withmaintaining traditional machining programs.8 Simply increasing class sizes—one way togenerate needed revenue—may not only increase student-to-faculty ratios but also the number ofstudents that can be served by the available equipment. One important finding in the UC Berkleystudy was that CNC equipment is perhaps less important than having simpler manual machinetools that have traditionally been part of these programs.1 Given the cost of new industrialequipment—manual or programmed—a reasonable alternative may be to obtain used systems.However, securing older equipment presents three issues: frequent repairs, obtaining

By the late1980s engineering employers and educational leaders recognized that preparing engineers for21st century practice demanded fundamental changes in the engineering science paradigm.ABET was perceived as an impediment to innovation. Presidents of the University of Michigan,and MIT publically stated that engineering education must change to support the new quality-oriented environment and that ABET’s rigid “bean counting” posed a significant barrier toneeded innovation. Similar concerns were echoed by ABET’s Industry Advisory Council anddeans of major engineering schools in 1992. Fortunately, ABET listened. An Accreditation Process Review Committee (APRC

Real options only work for tradable assets. A common objection to options analysis was that it does not work when the underlying asset is not a tradable commodity. 4. Real options discount management realities. Critics said that because real options do not expire like financial options do, managers can not be counted on to abandon a project when they should.Block27 surveyed 1,000 companies to see if they had adopted real options.

Online courses hold the potential for use of part time faculty, who are working during standard face to face hours, to manage a course and the content is fixed along with the learning outcomes. This promotes the likelihood or reducing learning variability with potentially inexperienced faculty.Consequently, we selected engineering economics as the first trial course for online learning andidentified several research questions supporting contributions to a number of the issues noted inthe current literature discussed above:  Can we document comparative learning outcomes between the online and face to face learning environments?  Can the online course format adapt to use

Through theseinvolvements engineering students develop interpersonal skills, build a self-concept, and buildself-confidence or self-efficacy19. As maturing adults it is expected that there is a great deal offocus on interpersonal peer relationships. Team assignments provide, for the most part, asupportive environment for this development.

The core of the program is based on a sequence of four majorcourses, which focus on the Product Development, Process Analysis and Optimization,Logistic Processes and Service Engineering, respectively. Each course is built around a practical team project. With the project effort as thebackground, the courses introduce students to key issues in global engineering competence,such as technical and cross-cultural communication, collaboration and teamwork,organization and management, engineering ethics, critical thinking and problem solving, andintegration

This model is elaborated by a table of different portfolios with their expected return andstandard deviation. This linear envelope implies that heavier weighted bond portfolios aredominated. More importantly, it demonstrates the inadequacies and errors contained in commonrules of thumb that link recommended bond/stock weights to an individual’s age.
