lawsuit by filing a complaint Victim – one that is injured or killed under any of various conditions o Class Action Movie Report #2 Class action was a movie based around a car company, Argo Motors, and the “class action lawsuit” they faced. They were allegedly producing cars, particularly the 1985 Meridian station wagon that would explode on impact and severely injury the car’s occupants. The movie was written around two lawyers, father and daughter, who happened to be on opposing sides of the lawsuit. The movie did an excellent job showing how personal relationships can interfere in court proceedings. The lawsuit was set up as a contingency case where the “plaintiff”s may not receive money for

ability to succeed in the engineering workplace in Canada is generally not related totheir technical knowledge and abilities. Rather, inadequate English language skills, lack ofcultural knowledge, and lack of community support are significant barriers to full labor forceparticipation including job entry and job maintenance.

. This balancing act then becomesquite a challenge. To address this challenge, a two-tier approach was developed and delivered duringthe Fall 05 term at Robert Morris University to deal with the differing expectations of thestakeholders in the teaching/learning environment as described in Figure 1. This approachis further discussed in this article.3. The Two-Tier Approach The first tier of the teaching plan, called the ‘essential teaching plan’ includes all ofthe essential teaching elements. These elements consist of the following: • Set teaching method(s): The options are lecture, discussion, tutorial, laboratory, mutli-media resources. For different topics, the instructor identifies appropriate teaching methods and
fire a team member who is not making a substantive contribution to the success of the team.

Study the simulation resource documents (e.g., student instructions, student manual, game scenario, decisions by quarter, balanced scorecard) • Practice exercise(s) such as QFD exercise in understanding how to create customer value. Use library resources to learn more on important topics such as customer value and ‘quality function deployment’ (QFD
