However, now the ability of the investment alter-native to reduce the firm’s strategic risk and the level of risk averseness of the investor will also need to be in-cluded in the decision analysis. How this is done is lefl to fiu-ther research. The example in the previous section used only quantity as a macroeconomic decision variable.

In this weight class, the Solid-Spring landing gear canbe used instead of the oleoshock-strut type used in the F-16.Computer modeling and finite element analysis are explored to analyze stresses developed whilelanding at normal sink rates.The deflections of the main spring gear are calculated and the internal stresses evaluated utilizingthe finite element program Stardyne (Research Engineers, Inc.).

, market research, a potential customer is a potentialpurchaser. The purpose for conducting market research is to collect, analyze and interpret dataabout the customer, competitors, and the environment affecting customer decisions.3 This isprobably the most important of the principles for engineering departments hoping to solveenrollment and retention dilemmas. It is also the most difficult to implement in terms of timeand available resources. The value of obtaining data from the range of social, economic andacademic variables affecting personal choices to enter engineering fields is huge. Perhapsgraduate committees should be formed, and grant requests written to tackle this monumental taskand add the research to the body of information available

rehabilitation studiesthat involve gait, where typically a music tempo is initially chosen that accommodates anindividual’s gait capabilities and then the tempo is increased incrementally as gait performanceimproves (Thaut et al., 2004). Metronome use in behavioral ecology studies dates to the late 60’s(Wiens et al., 1969); researchers have generally used metronomes to monitor specificindividual’s activities over time, or to time individual actions. For example, metronomes (orfeedback earcons, i.e., auditory icons) have been used in training Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(CPR; Kern et al., 1992; Boyle et al., 2002). Metronomes have also been used to train rhythm-driven arm movements. For example, Thaut (2005) used a metronome to synchronize
