Education, 2006 The Roadmap of Arithmetic: Summing it upAbstractNotice this problem of human consciousness. Ideas and concepts enter our mind one at a time.Usually teachers and authors have the entire course content in their minds before they begin acourse or write a text. However, a student can only confront one idea at a time and so the coursecontent is arranged sequentially, one topic after another, one word after another. It is then left tothe student to construct in his mind the best arrangement of the material. We must accept thatcourses and texts are sequentially ordered. Pages are numbered. A student, when confronted bya particularly difficult part of the text, may set the text aside never to see the remainder of

Using simulationgames to teach Lean philosophy is an effective tool to convey the concepts to students. Thispaper discusses the teaching of Lean manufacturing principles to high school and undergraduatestudents through hands-on simulation experiments. Several Lean workshops and simulationgames are offered to the students. Lean workshops aim to teach students the basics of Leanmanufacturing as well

Engineering Education, 2019 Introducing College-level Laboratory Exercises in a Pre-college Summer ProgramThere are hundreds of pre-college summer programs that take place annually atcolleges and universities in the United States. [1,2] Many are enrichment programsdeveloped to expose middle and high school students to academic and researchexperiences in targeted fields such as Engineering and Sciences. [2] All are developedto include an experience of college life at that particular institution.
