College, WV. Page 11.1449.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Where’s the Management?IntroductionThis paper asks the question, “Where’s the management?” much as Clara asked “Where’s thebeef?” in the classic Wendy’s commercial. The management content in engineering managementgraduate programs appears to vary greatly in quantity and does not appear to be found in standalone management courses, per se, but as components of technical courses where themanagement content is dependent on the instructor including management topics or putting amanagement “spin” on the material. Examples of this are the

Paper ID #27890VM High-Performance Computing for Undergraduate Engineering ProjectsForrest Mobley, Embry - Riddle Aeronautical University I am a junior level aerospace engineering student who has a passion for research and computational simu- lations. My goal is to develop the skills I need as an engineer to improve society through the advancement of aerospace technologies and understanding. Something that I have a particular interest in is developing a system for aerial refueling for unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly for search and rescue operations. I enjoy cycling, backpacking, and computer gaming.Dr. Shigeo

The goal of the process is toorganize, sort, chart, map, etc. the collective knowledge in a field so that it is readily navigableand accessible and can be mined for information. A critical objective identified by researchers inthe field of knowledge domain mapping is the creation of end-user applications that allow theuser to interact with knowledge elements from different perspectives and in varying visual ways.The value of these applications is seen in their effectiveness in enabling users “not only tovisualize a few nearby trees in the forest of knowledge, but also to understand the entirelandscape” [15].
