The following statements show the main requirementsfor the revised case study assignment. The case study work should include the case of analyzing the capital investment strategy in the next three-year period for Apple, Inc. to enhance its design, production, future new product deployment, and market dominance in the second largest smartphone market in the world - India.

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.

However, engineeringeducation reform is now a global crisis that is being brought into sharper focus as the worldbegins to confront such transnational issues as climate change, decaying infrastructure,infrastructure security, natural disasters, etc. While engineers remain strong in terms of theirtechnological skills, they are generally weak in terms of their management and communicationcapabilities. They do not fully understand the concept of globalization; have a firm grasp of theissues confronting the 21st-century engineer; lack the competencies that would enable them torise to leadership positions within government and industry; and are not developing curricula thatwould train

AbstractBroadly stated, accountability for a regional university is value created versus cost.Value reflects social and economic needs of the community, state, and region. Cost ofcreating value is cost of implementation strategies to achieve institutional goals. The state’shigher education coordinating board, a university board, and faculty senate are proxiesfor engaging community, state, and regional stakeholders in institutional accountability.Complex endogenous and exogenous challenges require an effective means for allocatingresources within the organization, monitoring effectiveness of institutional strategies, and, asnecessary, adapting strategies to ensure institutional accountability.This paper examines these issues and recommends an

ObservationAbstractContinuous improvement process can be applied to different areas of higher education,specifically improvement of faculty teaching. Anand, et al.1, defined continuous improvement as“a systematic effort to seek out and apply new ways of doing work, which is actively andrepeatedly making process improvements.” In this light, the lead author has used a triangulationmethod to improve their teaching effectiveness by being observed in the classroom at the sametime by the department head and a peer observer, over several semesters. The paper will framethe current literature on teaching evaluation for growth and development, examine the facultymember’s, the peer’s, and the administrative observer’s perspectives, and discuss how thisprocess has led to

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

Thus, no weaknesses or concerns were noted in this area in thefinal ABET report.This course has been offered for four consecutive semesters and has provided much usefulinformation related to the departments overall curriculum and how it prepares students for entryinto industrial work settings.

. However, as ABET provided moredirection and focus with regard to the new accreditation criteria, and as the looming ABET visitof 2008 drew near, it became apparent that the curriculum that was in place would not likely passABET requirements. Some faculty in the department knew the curriculum needed majoroverhauls, and that change must occur quickly. Some of these same faculty also knew a majorcurriculum change would likely face significant resistance for a variety of reasons. Theremainder of this paper will discuss how the more well-defined and stringent ABET criteriaprovided the needed impetus and assistance to make significant changes to the undergraduatecurriculum.Driver for ChangeCurriculum changes may come about for a variety of reasons in
