She believes project- based learning holds significant potential for increasing the diversity of students who succeed in college and who persist in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, and she views her work with the Center as contributing to education reform from the inside out. She holds an M.A. in Developmental Psychology from Clark University and a B.A. in Psychology from Case Western Reserve University. Her background includes working in the field of education evaluation, where she focused primarily on the areas of project-based learning; STEM; pre-literacy and literacy; student life; learning communities; and

Given the extensiveinvestment in interdisciplinary graduate programs nationally, we argue that a deeperunderstanding of how and why graduate students do – and perhaps more importantly, do not –develop interdisciplinary identities can help inform future development of interdisciplinaryprograms.Current Status of the Educational ProgramThe original core team includes faculty from business information technology, civil andenvironmental engineering, engineering education, geosciences, and urban affairs and planning.Now in our fourth year of course offerings, the program has expanded to include faculty andstudents from fisheries and wildlife, industrial and systems engineering, geography

Managers are not willing to make decisions based on techniques they do not fully understand. 2. Discounted cash flow is a proven method. The heavily favored methods in the literature are discounted cash flow techniques (NPV and IRR). 3. Real options require a high degree of sophistication. Real options tend to be used in industries where upper management tends to have engineering or technology backgrounds. 4. Real options tend to encourage excessive risk-taking.

But fi-om the perspective of people who believe that they have been exposed to risksfrom hazardous wastes and see themselves as victims, it breeds anger and confrontation. Prevention, eliminationor minimization of a specific involuntary chemical risk is a legitimate objective.
