Case learners prepare for the case by reading and analyzing it 2. Optionally - students can perform a deeper preparation by having a priori small group discussions 3. An in-class discussion is done for the case 4. An end-of-class summary is provided by the facilitatorAs there are many books on the case method, our approach uses ideas from Rosenthal andBrown’s book for examples of pedagogically strong cases [10], and Barnes, Christensen, andHansen’s book [11] on how to teach cases (readers should note that this book is not only good forlearning about the case method, but

This project consists of taking an existingwater delivery system, in Keene, New Hampshire, and designing an optimal turbine-generator set-up specificallytailored to their parameters. By focusing on towns with large water demands and high water towers we can optimizethe electrical output of our generators, and create a larger power output. With water coming in from ageographically higher location, the potential energy, and flow rates increase, thus increasing the amount ofelectricity made. We plan to capture some of this untapped energy by converting the potential energy of the waterinto electrical energy that would take the strain off of power plants and other power sources

Section ConferenceSince DEA is a data dependent technique, the accuracy of the model results are highly correlatedwith the quality of the data inputted to the model. However, in many cases the input and outputdata could not always be measured and/or collected accurately due to increased variety of dataproviders and/or subjective nature of the data. In the future, we plan to apply the fuzzy set theoryinto the model to overcome this shortcoming.References1 Choi, K.W., Roh , Y.S., and Yoon, J.-H.: ‘ AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION OFPRODUCTIVITY OF A CHAIN RESTAURANT USING DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS (DEA)’ ,International Journal of Quality and Productivity Management, 2007, 07, (01), pp. 47-672 Donthu, N., and Yoo, B.: ‘ Retail productivity

These 7 students were allaccepted as junior transfers from community colleges planning to begin full-time study in the fallof 2014 as engineering majors. Had they not taken this class in the summer, they would not havebeen able to take key required courses that their freshman-start counterparts would be taking.This would have put them behind and put them at risk for not being able to complete theirdegrees in 2 additional years
