At first, interaction and collaboration level was really low. • Students did not have study plans for virtual work.The class was reading intensive. Reading assignments were structured to allow students’knowledge of the construction administration process to develop from a solid foundation of thebasic fundamentals and formats of the construction process. Grades were determined by thequantity of points earned. There were 100 points available, in which, two exams

Theweb site also displays a score for the student who takes the test and provides a chance to improvethis score after going through the topic notes, exercises, and examples in the ICC. Pre-testquestions are being revised and updated continuously. A future plan is to ask the students takingthe material and energy balances course in each semester to develop new concept questions andcontribute to the concept inventory.

An advantage of using multi-instructors in this freshmen course was that the students could get to know the faculty membersof the program in person and communicate with them closely.In order to let the freshmen get in touch with other students in the department, the HPV group ofthe ASME chapter was invited to the class to encourage them in joining the group.

Zuheir. Zuheir has been invaluable to our project of creating a value stream map over our 3 major processes. Originally I planned to complete 2 of the 3 processes using Zuheir. He took direction well, understood the scope of what we were trying to do, and tirelessly collected and constructed the data into the desired format. In doing so, we moved into VSM creation of the 3rd process. This was neither unexpected nor was it anticipated initially as part of the scope of work. We also used Zuheir to evaluate some process improvement steps within the Finish portion of our overall process. It was my intent to expose Zuheir to as much I.E./Manufacturing Engineering type work as possible. After a brief
