; Sarkar and Kumar 2016).The Beer Game aims to show the importance and benefits of integration and information sharing insupply chains and the significant role of supply chain management. Since its initial introduction, thegame has been adapted into multiple formats including a table game, different online games, andinto other industries, e.g. the Wood Supply Game (D’Amours et al. 2017). Other examples of SCMgames in the literature include: the Airplane Supply Chain simulation (Ellis et al. 2014), the SupplyChain Operations Reference simulation (Webb, Thomas, and Liao-Troth 2014), and the Sink or SwimSupply Chain activity (Harnowo, Calhoun, and Monteiro 2016). The HARD game builds on previous games and extends on them in several aspects

major Midwestern coal mining region, on theOhio river, and coal-fired steam power plants are an integral part of the engineering landscape.Some of the UE students have had co-op or internship experience at a power plant. As a result,the UE students, in general, seem to be more “power plant savvy”. Industry in Southfield,Michigan (i.e., Detroit) is dominated, not by the Rankine cycle, but by different types of powercycles; the Otto and Diesel cycles take lead roles in the Southeastern Michigan engineeringlandscape because of the auto industry. LTU students tend to be less interested in coal-firedsteam power generation and more interested in internal combustion engines.As shown in Table 7, the UE students were more comfortable with the Rankine

nanotubes under the electric force. The results were usedto examine the effect of the manufacturing parameters on the production rate and the uniformity of thecomposite materials made in the casting process. The specialty of the project lies in the hands-onlearning strategy for training upper level undergraduate students in the emerging field of energyconversion. Some special learning methods such as active learning via student interactions, instructor-student face to face learning were adopted in the classroom activities. It is concluded that the activelearning should be the future trend in educating upper level students. The curriculum we should strivefor is an integration of knowledge learning and hands-on practicing. Through such a particular

service-learning can be offered as part of students’ senior (capstone) design projects, when the NAE GCSPis not available to the students. Service-learning can facilitate the integration of applied research into the real-worldapplications [13]-[28]. This paper promotes research-informed service-learning approach inproject-based service-learning by integrating research into service-learning through education. Inthis paper, examples of research-informed practice for university graduate and undergraduateprojects are given, and service-learning is discussed as a powerful tool in education. The paperfurther discusses case studies of research-informed service-learning as a complementary approachto project-based curriculum and educational activities

This visit demonstratedthe integration of electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering concepts in the design,construction, and operation of an automated assembly line used in the bottling of wine. Finally,the participants visited a local pump manufacturer, Weir-Floway, where they were given a tourof the facility and were able to talk to engineers working on the design and fabrication of varioushydraulic pumps.Presentations and other activitiesA keynote speaker was invited to give a presentation to the students during the first day of thecamp. This presentation was a descriptive lecture providing an overview of engineering and whata student should expect after graduating from an engineering

This direction is visible in the already mentioned Amazon Go and AmazonHub Lockers, which center on technologic substitutes for tasks otherwise done by employees(e.g., cashiers), as well as in the manufacturing and utilization of robotic labor in fulfillmentcenters alongside human workers [34].

Engineers need to be aware of cultural differences andpotential implications for successfully working on and/or leading cross-cultural and internationalengineering projects/teams.Industry and academia recognize the need for global/intercultural competence in engineeringgraduates. Many universities are incorporating global programs and initiatives into theirstrategic plans. Engineering programs are also incorporating global competency developmentinto co-curricular activities and in some instances entire courses are devoted towards it, such asthe engineering across cultures course that is the focus of this study.
