One player in each group is assigned to the retailer stage to role play this supplychain partner. The end customer is the retailer’s customer and is the source for the orders of beerat the retailer station. Once the retailer fills the end customer’s order, s/he sends another order tothe wholesaler.Figure 1. Drawing of the retailer station. The wholesaler is the retailer’s supplier and therefore is the next partner in the supplychain layout of

. Engineering studentsincluded both industrial and mechanical engineers. Business students included marketing,management, finance and accounting majors. Liberal Arts students majored in an even widervariety of disciplines ranging from mathematics and computer science to economics and politicalscience. Rather than having students work on one project, we presented students with a variety oftopics of interest to engineers, economists, and business managers along with assignmentscovering these topics. On some assignments, students worked alone and on others students weregiven the option to work on teams. However, in this case, the students chose the teamcompositions themselves. Some teams crossed disciplines and some did not. In addition, wetested students

This form can be used by the students as “good presentation guidelines”. Byproviding these guidelines, the time that might have to be spent on basic ideas for improvementduring the practice sessions at the end of semester is often reduced.

addressing the growing concern oversummer learning loss for children, a problem which has been known for over 100 years1. Astudy by Cooper et al.2 integrated 39 studies examining the effects of summer vacation onstandardized achievement test scores. It was concluded that on average children's tests scoreswere at least one month lower when they returned to school in fall than scores were whenstudents left in spring. When measured in terms of mathematical and computation skills, moststudents lost about two months of grade level equivalency over summer vacation. According toCooper et al., more than half of the achievement gap between lower and higher income youth canbe attributed to an unequal access to structured summer learning opportunities; this

This new post-secondary education architecture will provide the student with a real-world learning environmentfor a full four-year undergraduate engineering program. The students learn the traditionalengineering theory and practical skills by participating in every aspect of the EMS business –hence, the phrase concurrent education. The professors in the school also lead project teamsconsisting of students and staff on the EMS production floor. The students will be compensatedfor their work in the EMS. The teaching staff will be employed by the business as well as theschool. The paper presents the planned curriculum for the students’ freshman year. The schoolutilizes the real world EMS classroom

Lab experiments through week 4 still use TTL ICs andbreadboards as an easy way to quickly implement and test the basic concepts of digital logicwithout needing to learn the computer tools required for advanced development.By week 5 the students are learning graphic entry techniques using Altera software and by week6 they are describing circuits using AHDL. The benefit of using AHDL is that it is much more“beginner friendly” than VHDL, while demonstrating most of the important concepts ofdescribing logic circuits using text. The tedious details of VHDL are much more easilyconquered in more advanced classes after mastering the basics in

As such, the ABET category“general education” will be used synonymously with the term “liberal arts.” While basic scienceis sometimes considered a liberal art, this study follows ABET and counts all “hard” sciencessuch as physics, chemistry, biology, and geology in the “math and science” grouping.

Math Usage by Practicing Engineers: What does it mean to Curriculum Planners? Mike Ellis, Brian Williams, Habib Sadid, Ken W. Bosworth, and Larry Stout Idaho State UniversityAbstractEngineering programs are constantly assessing the material required to earn an engineeringdegree. This assessment leads to squeezing in additional courses, often at the expense ofrequiring additional credits beyond that for a typical Bachelors degree. The common practice ofincluding new material while not changing what already exists is pushing the number of requiredcredits for an engineering degree in excess of what should be expected. A fundamental questionnot typically
