However, there is stillskepticism among engineering managers regarding their validity and practical difficulties ofmodel construction and data gathering. This paper presents some issues regardingdevelopment, use, and application of cost/schedule risk analysis software, and discussesrelated pedagogical concerns. Introduction Cost/schedule risk analysis extensions to commercial PERT/CPM-based softwarewhich use Monte Carlo simulation, intended for design-stage applications such as bidpreparation, have only just become available in the past few years [1, 2]. Other networksimulation packages have been available much longer [3], with use

Development of individual skills is paramount, as eachstudent must develop a unique skill set that will prepare him or her for a career, and each studentmust gain perceived self-confidence in the application of his or her skill set to solve engineeringproblems. The authors believe that that robot design teams are ideal settings for building skillsmastery, and hence self-efficacy. In teams, designing and building complex robots andsucceeding in a robot competitions require the team to address problems in sensing, mechanics,computer interfacing, electronics, logic, and project management, for example

Both graduate and undergraduate programs have experienced increasingenrollments, and as a result, this has severely limited “open-lab” availability. “Open-lab” hastraditionally been a time when students can access the laboratory classrooms to finish labassignments, makeup missed work, and get additional experience with the laboratoryinstrumentation. Our philosophy in creating ALTE was not to replace the onsite laboratoryexperience, but rather to supplement it with a system that provided 24x7 access to the sameexperiments via the Internet.[1]-[2] The aim was to allow users

Materials for teaching team building will be designed to make it easy for faculty to incorporate team building tools into their courses. 4. Graduates will be able to work effectively in groups on multi-disciplinary design problems. Currently, most of our degree programs have senior design courses which are intended toprovide students with significant practical opportunities to apply knowledge and skills in a team-based environment. We recognize that some engineering lab courses are also project-team oriented.While these experiences can provide students with valuable opportunities to work with others
