These results suggest that interventions addressing identity and relationships should take an intersectional approach when studying students’ engineering identities [31]. 6.

The desirefor higher computational power may be due to many reasons, such as real timeconstraints (completing a task within a certain time period), throughput (processing manyrelated tasks together), or memory (delivering an efficient way to provide large amount ofmemory) [1]. Thus, the computer intensive applications are no longer limited to a fewscientific communities. In fact, emerging commercial applications such as simulatingmechanical

Obviously, this is not optimal and those two employees could be utilized betterin other areas of production.Because the employees are aware of the problems with the automatic timecard reader, they takeextra time to try and place the labels in a manner that will cause fewer errors. This is usuallyfutile and causes little improvement in the number of errors. Because of the extra time taken forplacement, production is slowed, causing lost revenue for the company, and the employee.Since the employees hold their timecards until the end of the week, there is no real-time producttracking available.
