Eliminating therear friction brake, would possibly mean forgoing the safety and well-being of not only the rider,but their surrounding environment. Although more regenerative energy could be recovered fromhaving two regenerative braking systems, ethical decision making needed to take place in order tosafeguard the welfare of the public.The quality of the materials and their reliability are also vital to the rider and the environment. Ifthe quality of the material was not as high, and broke under great force of pressure, the device isnot be reliable and could not keep the rider safe.

In community services, women had a volunteer rate of 27.8% in 2015compared to men 21.8%. Women volunteered at a higher rate than men and this was true acrossall age groups, educational levels, and major demographics characteristics (such as race andemployment status) [7].Influence is closely associated with leadership.

Next, we will discuss the construct of epistemic metacognition thatlooks at epistemic cognition and metacognition in combination. This discussion is followed by asection that discusses the value of studying epistemic metacognition in the context ofengineering.Epistemic cognitionEpistemic cognition concerns how people acquire, understand, justify, change, and useknowledge. It is distinct from cognition because the focus of epistemic cognition is on theconstruction and justification of knowledge, understanding, and/or true beliefs.

Historically, senior projects that have led to longer-termstudent-private sector collaborations or even student-initiated business have been rare.Recently, entrepreneurship at Pitt-Johnstown has experienced a revitalization. A renewed pushto create an Entrepreneurial Studies program came from Pitt-Johnstown President Jem Spectar in2011.

In using the Product ArchaeologyCanvas, students must “excavate” public information on all of these factors for an over-the-counter medical device. Like an archaeologist, they needed to create a plausible and coherentnarrative of the decisions the company made in moving that product idea to the customer. Withthis background they become forward-thinking intrapreneurs – proposing a way to increase thevalue of their product but in a way that balanced all of the various constraints and perspectives.

Anyone who hasworked on an engineering project understands this need for leaders to strive for the best and bethe champion for the implementation of innovations3. This theme relates to the concept of self-management, where engineering leaders must be able to work efficiently, manage their time, andhave a strong work ethic in order to achieve their personal vision2.Teamwork. Regardless of one’s role, engineers are almost always required to work in a teamsetting.

In Industrial Engineering (IE)teachings, where a variety of tools are used to design, improve, and manage integrated systems,simulation-based approaches become an important piece in the learning environment.There are a number of publications in literature that analyze the impact of simulation-basedteaching environments.
