EducationAbstractLogistics and transportation has become one of the last frontiers that still remain to be conqueredby most businesses in the twenty first century. Yet this cannot be done unless all logistics andtransportation professionals, irrespective of their functional orientation and current jobresponsibilities, fundamentally understand the dynamics of how products move from one placeto another. This is one of the disciplines that is growing at a faster pace. The issue is that thenumber of graduates in this field is not meeting the current industry demand. Many U.S.institutions have recently developed and planning to develop educational degree programs in thisarea. This research analyzed the need for best practices and identified best practices in

Baumertet al.19 attempted to answer questions such as: what kind of subject matter knowledge do teachersneed to be well prepared for their instructional tasks and to what degree does their mastery of thecontent influence their instructional repertoire? In agreement with other studies, a positive effectof teacher PCK on students’ learning gains mediated by the provision of cognitive activation andindividual learning support was shown19. Another important tentative conclusion drawn fromthat study was that teacher education programs that compromise on subject matter training do

Finally, the students mustdevelop an action plan for leading the change to solve the problem, including a definedcommunication strategy and what leadership styles and tools will be used (and how they will beused) to motivate the volunteers. To provide further experience and help provide value to theorganizations, the students were organized into groups of four (cadres), such that each studentcould act as advisors to each other and assessors of progress for each team member, reportingspecific

University’s Electronics Engineering Technology program senior project is a four sessioncourse sequence in which students synthesize knowledge and skills learned in the previouscourses. In the first course (ECET-390 Product Development), students research, plan anddevelop a project proposal. In the next three courses (ECET-492/493/494), Senior ProjectLaboratory) students implement the project plan by building and testing a prototype. A typicalproject involves a solution to a software/hardware based engineering problem. The process ofdeveloping and implementing a solution to the problem offers a learning opportunity for studentsto gain new insights and competencies as a result of “constructivist” and “deep learning”teaching/learning approaches
