://web.umr.edu/~saygin/AbstractSince 1980’s, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) has dramatically changed the way ofmanufacturing in all industries as well as the way manufacturing courses are taught. Amongmany worldwide CIM programs offered at various universities, some are more applicationoriented, some focus more on the business aspects, and some put more emphasis on theinformation technology behind the CIM concept. Over the last decade, CIM had evolved into anewer concept, namely Computer Integrated Enterprise (CIE), due to the advancements in thearea of information technology and its applications in e-business. Nevertheless, there is still agap between the shop floor and the upper level functions, such as enterprise resource planning.This paper

Then we analyzed the data and presented some basic facts regarding the digital dividethat exists in the world today along with the negative effects that it has upon nations and thepeople groups who are the most impacted by the resulting informational and economic poverty.We present former and current actual factors of the West-East and East-East digital divide. Wealso discuss and point out the valiant efforts that some are making for the tearing down of thewall of economic isolation and silence that currently divides the “haves” from the “have-nots”.1.

In the case of the Honors Physics class, this involved theapplication of constraint graphs to problems concerning energy, work, and momentum. Theequations I = F × t , p = m × v , W = F × s , and KE = 0.5 × m × v ^ 2 were formed into aconstraint network with which problems were solved. Afterwards, the students were asked toaugment the problem by linking another equation, s = v × t , to solve for distance. Throughoutthe process, we noticed that students seemed to enjoy the graphical representation as it wasextremely novel and somewhat

These demonstrations are usually five minutes or less in duration. Students areassigned simple homework problems that are similar to the in-class examples, and theseproblems are turned in by the students at the beginning of the next class period for credit.Quizzes are given weekly to gauge learning and reinforce the most important learning outcomes.Upon grading of the quizzes the instructors note and record the specific mistake(s) made by

Technology changed, creating demand for engineers whounderstood the hardware and electronics underlying the chips but also were conversant with andcapable of developing the software components of a system. It was not possible to adequatelytreat the topics needed for education of these engineers in the context of a specialization areawithin an electrical engineering program of study. The first computer engineering program wasaccredited by the EAC of ABET in 1971, and between about 1970 and 1990, computerengineering emerged as a separate discipline.

Following Kaiser (1960)’s criteria32, we retained factors with eigenvalues greaterthan one. Thus, seven factors were considered for the possible number of factors of the TESS.Since a putative factor structure of the TESS is identified, the factor loadings of the items foreach factor were gauged to decide which items constitute which factors. Based on Stevens’(2002)33 guideline about the relationship between the sample size and cutoff factor loading, itemswith a factor loading greater than .40 were considered significant for the designated factor
