this educational research project, game-based in-class and after-class learning activities aredeveloped to teach selected inventory control strategies to undergraduate and graduate students.Students from Supply Chain Management and System Simulation courses are targeted, who aretaught by different instructors. The activities include teaching the inventory control policies tostudents in a regular class setting, then providing an overview on a game developed on MS Excel.In the game, the lead time and customer demand variables are defined uncertain, and not given tostudents, which make the assignment an ill-structured problem. A 12-month planning andexecution period is given to students with qualitative and quantitative information about

Second, the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) for the selected operating condition wasdetermined. The data from the experiment was fed into a computer analysis program developedby an upperclassman as part of an independent study project. The program calculated the finefficiency to adjust the area of the fins to an equivalent area. The overall heat transfer coefficientwas a key input into the system model which the thermodynamic students then used to performthe optimization. 4 2

Little do the students know how much homework I do. Senior designpushes me beyond what I know every year. Even a colleague with consulting experience reflectedthat this is the case for him as well. With a mentor (academic and/or practitioner) to vet approachesand assumptions, I think each capstone project is the ultimate learning experience

For the course, a student could earn up to 2000points in graded material, consisting of quizzes, problem sets, a course-wide project, andexaminations. The course was taught in four sections by three different instructors, enabling thestudent-teacher ratio to remain small at roughly 14:1. A typical class consisted of a 20-25 minuteperiod of instruction on a subject with another 30 minutes of the students working problems onthe boards (see Figure 1).

A number of studies have alsoinvestigated the role of solution strategy in spatial performance. In 1991, Schultz [10] developedand tested the Spatial Strategy Questionnaire (SSQ) and used it to examine the contribution ofstrategy to variations in spatial performance on a number of spatial tasks including mentalrotation. This study found a significant contribution of strategy to performance in mentalrotation higher performance on the MRT being associated with the use of a strategy involving“moving the object” and avoidance of a strategy of the use of

In addition, we would liketo know if the process helps them developing self awareness in their learning practices and if thishelps them be more successful in their growth as engineers.As instructors, these bring us new challenges. Generally, students tend to repeat what theymostly did in their classes: memorize and repeat what they know well to achieve good grades. Inmost classes, tests are also designed around such learning practices. However, there aren’t manyways for students to communicate their learning methods, their thoughts, and their reflection onhow
