Page 25.1096.3 Fig. 1: Initial Rating ScreenshotSingle Parameter Assessment with a Fixed Pie ApproachA key difference between the UCSD Peer Review tool and CATME tool is that the UCSD toolhas a single parameter that the each student applies to their teammate to indicate overall teamcontribution. Moreover, this single parameter is applied in a fixed-pie fashion, meaning that ifone teammate is rated above average then other teammates(s) must be rated below average.

Such requirements very likely will include expectations

the “business sense” that isperceived to be critical for climbing the corporate or organizational ladder. The success inmeeting these expectations is primarily based on the materials in the financial analysis course(s)similar to graduate level engineering economics.Several studies have examined the financial analysis tools that corporations employ [1,2]. Butthese studies did not specifically track the translation of these tools into the engineeringmanagement work place at the operating manager (first level manager, second level manager,and program / project manager) and engineer level. Consequently they are of limited use to theMEM instructor since they provide high - level organizational data, primarily from larger publicsector firms. The

Many of these were just games, but some were more sophisticated,and were being adopted by flight schools to assist in the training of students. The FederalAviation Administration (FAA) even approved some of these software/hardware combinations tobe used in the official training programs for certain pilot ratings. The FAA calls them PCATD’s(PC-based aviation training devices). Several of these software packages were investigated fortheir adaptability to a flight test course.The major concern with using such software was that the flying qualities would not besufficiently accurate to allow for fairly

Your company has a barcode system in place so your order is automatically placed when R isreached. As the lead time of your supplier is not always perfect, it is possible that more than one order may beoutstanding at any given time. That is, you may place another order before the previous order(s) has arrived. For thisreason, the inventory system will use inventory position (i.e., current inventory plus all outstanding orders) forthe comparison to the reorder point R.Your goal is to minimize the sum of all costs, namely sampling cost, the fixed cost of ordering, holding, backlog andall penalty
