According to the ISOstandards on LCA, it can assist in decision making in industry, government, or non-governmentorganizations e.g., strategic planning, priority setting, product, and process design or redesign.LCA is also important for the selection of relevant indicators of environmental performance andeven in marketing from the perspective of the eco-labeling scheme or environmental productdeclarations.Clearly, the field of sustainability analysis and LCA plays a critical role in identifying theopportunities to improve the environmental aspects of products and services at various

The new degree program was launched inAutumn 2020 at the regional campuses of The Ohio State University, which have traditionallybeen feeder campuses.To prepare for a new and effective degree program, an assessment team was formed. Thecommittee was charged to develop a plan for program assessment by following the criteriadefined by the Engineering and Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of theAccreditation board of Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Education, 2021 Continuous Improvement in Academic Computing Programs is Rarely ComprehensiveAbstractRapid advancements in computing require academic computing departments to continuallyimprove. According to the literature, many of those departments claim to have institutedcomprehensive Continuous Improvement (CI) plans by building their own or using externallydeveloped tools to handle the process. This paper provides an exhaustive examination of the“comprehensiveness” of those comprehensive CI plans in the current literature and whether allcomponents of CI (360-CI) are addressed. We identify eight unique CI components, but we donot find any documentation of implementing all of them in a single program. The

An example of this is in [1], which defined troubleshooting as a common form ofproblem solving that requires an individual to diagnose faulty systems and take direct, correctiveaction to eliminate any faults in order to return the systems to their normal states. Another is in[2], which described troubleshooting as a task that deals with problem-solving skills that arespecific to a domain such as computer programming, engineering, biology, medicine, orpsychology.

A separate syllabus, course plan, and deliverables were used with the EM and ISEstudents, who were taught together in one combined section.Every student in the study created pre- and post-course concept maps of their individualunderstanding of product design. They were first introduced to concept maps along with someexamples, and then they were instructed to individually “draw a concept map that embodies theconcept of ‘product design.’” From these submissions, the research team was able to assess thefrequency of the presence of different concepts and relationships in the maps, allowingcomparisons across major programs as

Thatwork appears in tension with students’ differentiation of the highly theoretical world of engineeringschool from their more practical perception of engineering work [7,8]. These perceptions exist aboutthings external to students and provide insight into students’ epistemological boundaries – representinginformation about what the student counts as engineering knowledge [2]. Both individuals and groups ofindividuals hold beliefs about epistemological boundaries, and those boundaries interact.In planning this study, we were especially interested in which disciplinary perspectives studentsmajoring in biomedical engineering drew on in defining engineering.

In general,library collection development decisions were driven by budget policies rather than byuser need.In 2011, KSL formed a task force consisting of faculty and several librarians. The goalwas to create a collection and budget strategy that adapted with new research needs andreflected a fairness in meeting all faculty expectations for access to databases, journals,and books (i.e. prevent subscription inflation from overtaking the book budget). The taskforce proposed a plan that was approved by the Faculty Senate. The plan allowedlibrarians to decide how to allocate collection development budget dollars, since they
