HGD is a part of a broader initiativeat Michigan Tech called the Enterprise Program which supports student-driven,multi-disciplinary, and hands-on courses.Besides giving students the opportunity to learn about video game development, HGD has fourprimary goals. First, HGD aims to have students gain first-hand teamwork experience on diverseteams. HGD is diverse because it includes freshman through seniors, includes students frommultiple majors, and attracts underrepresented students. Second, HGD seeks to use project-basedlearning to give students experience working on large multi

A number of large, medium and small Aerospace organizations have been facing a deficitof aerospace engineers [1] for years and this deficit has only increased in the recent years. The AEminor program continues to attract talented students and help fulfil the industry deficit. The AEROlab, established over summer 2019, complements the growth of the minor program. The labprovides a platform for students to apply the concepts learned as part of the minor in the form ofclass projects, research projects and capstone senior design projects. 4.

ITIL is viewed as the easiest standard toimplement, mainly because of its flexible nature [19].Adoption of standards and proven practices could enable decision makers to deploy theimplementation of established processes and procedures quickly. Adopting a prescribed processmodel such as ITIL could also promote speedy delivery of services and product locally andglobally. Most research in 1980s and 1990s was conceptual in nature, and a single industry orfirm conducted the experiment rather than an IT organization [16].
