Student Supply Chain Analysis Bruce R. Thompson Rader School of Business, Milwaukee School of Engineering Abstract: Several years ago, an elective in supply chains was added to the Master of Science in Engineering Management program at Milwaukee School of Engineering. A major requirement of this course is student analysis of an actual supply chain. This project consists of three papers over the course of the term: (1) describe a supply chain, (2) identify problems and issues in the chain, and (3) make recommendations for improvement. Since most students are working full-time and attending class part-time, they

Thereafter, villagers en route complain that theyare being displaced from their homes by the project and that it ruins their environment.Consequently, a World Bank Inspection panel holds an enquiry into whether the project violateshuman rights and its social impact. The project is threatened with cancellation. This story fromthe Southern Highways Project from Sri Lanka (or equivalent projects familiar to students) canbe used as the cue for a discussion on assessing the social and human rights impacts of projects.China’s project to transfer

While student perceptions are only one partof a comprehensive assessment program, they are certainly important. By addressing studentperceptions of core outcomes and fundamental pedagogical issues, TUBA should be relevant to arange of BMEN programs which offer a wide variety of specialized “tracks,” different areas ofprogrammatic emphasis, etc. Given that there exists a need for a measure such as the TUBA, thefollowing sections will describe the development and subsequent validation and reliabilitytesting that has been thus far performed.Development of the TUBAIn keeping with the

Finally, eachteam came to consensus and recommended two (the best and an alternative) solutions. Eachteam gave a written report and an oral presentation. The instructor completed the discussion byhighlighting important items either missed by students or not addressed by the current problem.This exercise took two weeks to complete.The PBL project on temperature measurement was done after the first test and before the secondtest. The students mainly learned the temperature measurement component on their own bydoing the PBL project while the other components of the course were taught using the traditionalteaching method. The

The role of European educational programsThe European educational programs gave an excellent starting point for internationalization ofstudies in CEECs. The first was TEMPUS (Trans-European Mobility Program (Scheme) forUniversity Studies), financed by the European aid foundation PHARE (Poland-HungaryAssistance in Restructuring Economy). It was opened on May 7 th, 1990 for 4 years asTEMPUS I and was extended as TEMPUS II for the next 4 years. It was an aid program,financing in 100% projects aimed at restructuring the higher education sectors in CEECs.Now, looking backward, one can see how important for the Polish higher education thisprogram was.

The objective of this project is to designan unmanned surface vehicle as a low-risk and low-cost solution for the remote sampling andmeasurement of oil spills that can be controlled and monitored in real-time. This unmannedsurface vehicle is designed to move across the survey area with a traced route for sampling andmeasurement through a control algorithm.

opportunities are often limitedto a very few number of students and only allow students to assist researchers on basic taskswithin existing projects – mundane activities that may dampen enthusiasm for graduate study. Asa result, some institutions have adopted course-based undergraduate research experiences toallow students with more significant research activities and better access to research laboratorieswithin their institution [4]. These course-based undergraduate research experiences are typicallyopen to most students, particularly lower-division students. In addition, these experiencesmitigate issues associated with inequities associated with individual undergraduate researchexperiences by improving the structure for how students are selected for
