We hopethat student preparedness and satisfaction will contribute to higher retention and graduation rates.With support of a Provost’s Learning Innovation grant, we developed the standards and formatsfor instructional materials wherein each experiment includes (a) equipment details, (b)PowerPoint presentation

Car 1 dominates the other Cars. We call adecision problem containing a dominated alternative “not interesting.” We call a decisionproblem containing no dominated alternative “interesting.”Assuming no ties in preferences among alternatives, we can represent a decision problem with 3alternatives and 3 criteria in a 3 x 3 matrix; an example is shown in Figure 2, where B indicatesthe best value on that criterion, W the worst value, and M the middle value. Each column musthave one B, one M, and one W. Criterion
anysignificant factors [7, 8]. For the factors that were found to be significant, regression equationswere developed followed by residual analyses. MethodologyThe largest problem that a project manager faces when dealing with software is how to managequality [9]. Poor quality often leads to schedule and cost overruns that can jeopardize futureworkload. Of the many factors that go into software development, the most prominent factors areexperience of the employee (A), complexity of the change (B), and the lines of code in thechange (C). Based on these three factors, the project manager should be able to predict whethera particular change will encounter quality issues in the future. By predicting when there
