assumptions does not consider oradequately capture. For instance, a mission critical item that is only used once during theevaluation period can be classified as a Class C item, but based on the importance of the item forthe system, in fact, the item may have to be reclassified as a Class A or Class B item. Similarly,the verb dream was used to capture System Improvement. The verb be was used to capture ABCAnalysis, which is not surprising due to the structure of the poem and also because the studentshad to include an additional line at the end of the poem to communicate the supply chain conceptthey decided to write their poem about. These observations suggest that verb choices may influencethe students’ selection of the supply chain concept to

In the event a participant’s efforts to remediate their GPA within the probationary periodfailed, the student was dropped from the program, and a suitable replacement was sought fromthe scholarship application pool of applicants.IV. Scholarship Program ActivitiesThe implementation activities associated with our scholarship programs include various ways toengage the scholars with the engineering profession in support of nuclear-related industry. Afterthe completion of each outreach and recruiting cycle, the annual program participant activitiesincluded the following: a. New student orientation, student advising and registration b.

exclusion. Poor children and poor youth not only lack the resources to afford education, they also have to get busy seeking work for sustenance of self and family. Without education they remain unable to move up the economic ladder and the cycle of exclusion continues from one generation to another. b. Limited Access to Technology: Historically, first world countries have always enjoyed the technological advantage. New technology, whether it is the smartphone or internet access, has spread in first world countries much faster. With the world of education rapidly moving into a digital realm this is creating a new source of exclusivity. c. Limited Social Status: Status in society whether it is due to the

the professional field they arepursuing; b) Through the solution, students develop the desired level of competency mastery,and c) students should realize that to generate a solution, they need the disciplinary knowledgeprovided in the course. Our educational model delivers this in what we call a learning block [1].Under the new educational model, the curricular structure of undergraduate programs consists ofthree phases: exploration, focus, and specialization. While in the exploration phase (which laststwo or three semesters, depending on the area), academic programs of the same area have a corecurriculum. For example, programs in the Social Sciences area, such as Economics, InternationalRelations, and Governance and Public Transformation

For this phase, we have thought of two methods to mount the solar panels to thetop surface. The first method is just to adhere the solar cell array to the top skin. The secondmethod is to sandwich the solar panels between two plies of fiberglass and layup on the malemolds mentioned above. c) Phase 3Phase 3 will repeat the same manufacturing steps for the lower skin.
