offered the week before classes began in the fall of 2015 andthe second was offered again the week before classes in the fall of 2016. The workshop wasloosely structured around the LLP methodology for creating startups as well as the engineeringdesign process. Students were placed on teams and given a predetermined innovation seedproject that was based on a university related problem. They developed hypotheses of designsolutions, made a test plan, got out of the building to test their hypothesis with customers andstakeholders, and iterated until they validated (or invalidated) their solutions. Along the way,they learned about value propositions, product-market-fit, the scientific method, customer-centricdesign, and teamwork.Just as the first year

One of the earliest uses was in CMF (Craniomaxillofacial)surgery where there “are congenital, system-bound growth disorders, facial craniosynostoses…and other congenital skull and face dysplasia.”5 The complexity and high variability of thepresentation of the disorders require patient specific treatments.

Students seem to be less able tomake the connections that they need to make between the different classes and disciplines. Thispaper discusses a computer technology curriculum and its weaknesses, subsequent changes thatwere implemented with a program overhaul, and an assessment plan that was devised todetermine if those changes were effective towards meeting the learning goals.The changing expectations of both students and their future employers motivated us toreexamine and overhaul the way we teach computer technology.

The pre-survey revealed that 18 of 22 (81.8%) students wereinterested in a STEM career, while on the post-survey 21 of 24 (87.5%) indicated a similarinterest.

] [3].Just as parts have standard tolerances, assemblies comprised of those parts have a tolerance aswell. The total tolerance for the assembly is directly driven by the tolerances of the parts whichcomprise the assembly. For example, if the assembly were comprised of parts which are all at theupper end of their total tolerance, the assembly might not function as intended. Therefore, designengineers must be mindful of the total tolerance with respect to the assembly. This phenomenonis known as tolerance stacking. However, the implementation of a proactive plan to avoidproduction issues caused by assemblies which are out of tolerance due to tolerance stacking isnot as straight forward to understand because the effects of tolerance staking are a

However, their ability to process theavailable information does not occur at the same pace as the collection (Morris, 2016).Therefore, effort needs to be made on making the data useful to improve student retention. Forinstance, by determining the factors that influence student retention and completion rates, it ispossible to improve the intentional student advising, planning, and development of retentionstrategies based on student needs (Slim et al., 2005).In recent years machine learning techniques have been applied to process educational data,which aligns with the focus on improving the processing of information
