Engineering management (EM) instructors often use the case study method todeliver integrated concepts and knowledge within an illustrative, simple format, or story line, that mayhave very complex content. This combination of simple story line and complex content can be helpful inguiding the development of real problem solving skills within future engineers. Niewoehner [2] suggestthat the case study offers an opportunity to broaden student perspective and increase critical thinkingthrough the use of real, complex examples from

In seeing how men and women respond to a CEO/founder's behavior,we discover how interpersonal perceptions matter. Recent engineering graduates tell us thatthey learn about themselves by observing and listening to all sides of the story, and then theyfill in the blanks.

In the SSI environment, students can formulate positions, negotiatediverse ideas, and make decisions about important issues directly related to their everyday life [8].The problems in SSI contexts are “more open-ended, debatable, complex, or ill-structured” [9,p.140] than the general scientific hypothesis in the laboratory. In this kind of environment, studentsare required to apply their epistemic understanding of argument (i.e., what counts as good evidence,what counts as a good claim) to debate, reach a consensus, or make decisions [10] - [12].Sadler [6

The use of such software has some drawbacks for students however.There is a high risk to waste valuable time by learning how to use software that was notdesigned for educational use but was instead designed for large scale problems in industry.And, what is even worse, students do not really see how the software works, because thetransition from the theoretical to numerical concepts is usually not visible in the software.To deal with this challenge, this paper presents a strategy based on the software Matlab,usually known by engineering students.

Institution type significantly impacts the transfer studentexperience, influencing their academic and social integration, as well as their overall success.Transfer shock, marked by a decline in grade point average (GPA) at the receiving institution, isfrequently observed among transfer students due to insufficient academic preparation andinstitutional support [18], [35]. The size and culture of the receiving institution can negativelyaffect transfer students, especially when transitioning from smaller institutions with a closestudent-instructor learning environment to larger research institutions that may not emphasizeinstruction in the same ways (i.e., R1 and R2) [36], [37].
