Paper ID #13963Identifying Best Practices of Logistics & Transportation Graduate EducationDr. MD B. Sarder, University of Southern Mississippi Dr. Sarder is an associate professor and program coordinator of the industrial engineering technology program at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). He is also an assistant director of the center for logistics, trade and transportation. At the USM, he revamped his program by developing as many as fourteen new courses, implementing hands on experience in courses, and delivering online courses for distant students. Dr. Sarder is very active in engineering and technology

) simulation sickness –through three symptoms nausea, oculomotor disturbance, and disorientation, 2) VR SystemsUsability – through comfort and ease of use, and 3) User Experience – through involvement,immersion, visual fidelity, interface quality, and sound. Simulation sickness analysis showed thatthe current VR teaching modules need some adjustments. The analysis of the systems usabilityand user experience of the module were found to be acceptable. In phase III of the research, wewill improve the VR module to make a full self-paced tutorial where the instructor’s role will bemore facilitator than an instructor.References[1] B. Dalgarno, A. G.

assumptions does not consider oradequately capture. For instance, a mission critical item that is only used once during theevaluation period can be classified as a Class C item, but based on the importance of the item forthe system, in fact, the item may have to be reclassified as a Class A or Class B item. Similarly,the verb dream was used to capture System Improvement. The verb be was used to capture ABCAnalysis, which is not surprising due to the structure of the poem and also because the studentshad to include an additional line at the end of the poem to communicate the supply chain conceptthey decided to write their poem about. These observations suggest that verb choices may influencethe students’ selection of the supply chain concept to
participants. The program also provides careeradvice and encouragement for professional and university involvement. Our goal for scholarshiprecipients is that they graduate and find employment within their field of study or attend graduateschool.The scholar selection criteria are: 1. U.S. Citizen, Permanent Resident, U.S. National or aliens admitted as refugees; 2. Enrolled full time for each long semester in which a scholarship is received; 3. Incoming sophomore, junior or senior; sophomore has priority; 4. Have completed Calculus I, Calculus II and Calculus-based Physics I with minimum grades of B; 5. Have a minimum Lamar GPA of 3.0 (cumulative and within the major), or otherwise demonstrate successful progress towards and commitment

C: Prepare and deliver a 3 to 5-minute presentation to the class that summarizes the paper written in part B.In parts B, and C, students were told to not attempt to model their scenario. It
“unsatisfying” class together. To alleviate this issue relating to beingbinary of “good” or “bad” courses, only one course was evaluated in each survey given tostudents. The course assigned to each student was randomly given for one of three courses thatthe students would have taken or have been currently enrolled in, named Class A, Class B, ClassC. Each survey type had approximately 35 students in the sample set. Therefore, the 107participating students were split into thirds to compare three courses. The questions and formatamong the class versions remained the same. Different courses within the curriculum werechosen to avoid a student ranking courses very high or very low in satisfaction, leading to a nullmodel that shows little significance. All
appropriate to serviceprocess.One of the key aims of six sigma is the recognition of relevant problems aligned with acompany strategy and that are relevant to achieve its mission. The general problems relatedwith internal issues like defects and waste to achieve product quality and time delivery.On the other hand, the relevant objectives of service sectors are customer satisfaction andloyalty. Due to the different goals on manufacturing and service sectors, procedures torecognize problems in service industries toned to be developed.This piece of work proposes a toolkit to support the recognition of projects from a differentperspective. It proposes the use of different service quality models aimed to serviceorganizations to integrate customer
