expense to companies3. It stands to reason that supply chain managementhas become an area that companies are giving much more attention and are integrating into everyfacet of their business. As companies went global with their sourcing programs over the years,procurement became a strategic function within successful organizations4. It has becomeimportant for students in engineering and technology programs to become familiar with theconcepts of supply chain management, forecasting, inventory control and continuousimprovement. This paper will describe how effective supply chain strategies using inventory control canhelp companies become more competitive in the global marketplace. The author will explain amanual simulation that is used in his
competitive for funding, aneducator must submit a strong proposal that creates a good first impression to the reviewer. A proposal that iswell written, clear, and easy for the reviewer to read and understand generally has a better chance of beingfunded than one that is poorly written. Since many engineering educators have little background in writing, this paper gives guidelines forcreating a strong proposal to prospective authors. General appearance of the proposal, including graphs,figures, and charts, is an important part of writing a successful grant. Common errors in writing are included,and basic rules for most frequently misused grammar are given with a discussion of words, sentence structure,and paragraph organization. General

of bias,increase a sense of agency, and ultimately empower students.1. IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations
