correlation between the behavioral pattern of the C’s and perceived role of the S as a promoting educator for the C (i.e., promoting important features of the products or services), it may become possible not only to design new training strategies for the cadre of the S’s, but – even more to the point – develop and promote the new corporate culture. o Based on an established trend in dynamics (for example, length of transient period, expected number of iterations) of the interactive process convergence to the “local” (in time) equilibriums between C and S, it seems reasonable to expect better planning process to be embedded into the S’s corporate

students decided ontheir design, they had to “order” their parts from the staff engineer. In their project planning, theyhad to account for possible ordering delays. When the students received their materials, they hadto build their robot, and program the PLC to achieve the desired results. Figure 5 shows a designof one PLC robot.A survey was conducted at the end of this project. The students enjoyed the freedom of beingable to design their robot. Some students felt that the project was too easy or that they had toomuch time to complete the project. Most students commented that they would have enjoyedadding more difficulty to the project and a greater variety of materials to choose from.This project was a good creative exercise for the students

currentlybeing assessed. Although it has appears to be a better situation for the students, it has created asignificant scheduling problem for the faculty who must team-teach the design sequence. The assessment process has identified another weakness in the design sequence. Studentsoften have not fully defined product specifications until well into their senior year. As a resultstudents have difficulty properly scheduling their time and they spend many late nights as theyprepare for their senior design show. Therefore, a planned improvement is the inclusion of aspecification review in the spring quarter of the junior year. The intent would be to force designdecisions earlier in the process. Project management also has a significant impact

When asked whichstrategies they use when teaching in their respective discipline, the majority of the facultyrespondents specified that they have used most of the techniques listed when teaching.Entrepreneurial and senior design faculty selected have students give presentations, mentor orcoach students, my personal experiences, and have guest speakers options most often. (See Table1 for complete data.) Of note, entrepreneur-related and senior design faculty selected severaloptions differentially. Specifically, considerably fewer design faculty selected have students giveelevator pitches (47%, N = 9), have students develop a business plan (58%, N = 11), and usetechnology

Each club consisted of an even mix of third, fourthand fifth graders. We found that there was a large gap in ability between third and fifthgraders and therefore decided to create two separate clubs the fourth year: one for fifthgraders and one for third and fourth graders combined. We planned to have two clubs atall three schools during the 2009-2010 academic year. However, due to time constraints,we had to postpone the start of the energy clubs at

The difference between the actual result and the expected result must then be explained and may lead to further redesign. 3) Because of the wide range of capstone projects, some students have limited exposure to identifying customer needs in their capstone projects – particularly projects related to national competitions, or where an industry sponsor already has a complete job specification.

To get “caught up” in the most effective way, advisors often suggest a course load of4-5 STEM courses. However, this proves to be rather difficult for many of these students.The most effective advising occurs when a plan is developed for the student to graduate in theminimum number of semesters. Due to prerequisites and limited course offering eachsemester, this can be a challenging task. Hence each department at USA has identified at leastone advisor who is very knowledgeable about transfer curricula.
