In order to promote engineering students' creative practice and self-authorship in undergraduate general education, instructors must first understand the creative process and, second, serve as models to students by engaging in reflective and transparent practice. However, these learning goals require some tolerance for uncertainty, both in students and in co-taught environments. This research addresses...
This review paper attempts to discuss the relevance of adopting project management approach in managing student group projects, specifically in institutions of higher learning (IHL). A group project refers to a unique, group work assignment to be carried out in a team of 10 students or more either at class or faculty level. The student's group assignment must fulfill these criteria: defined project...
Success or failure of tourism industry relies heavily on how the host nations control and manage the industry, strategies and manage its capital and resources, including human.

The management of Bi-cultural teleworking team has now been developing into a hot topic for human resource management. From the perspective of cross-culture, this paper makes a comparative study on the management mechanism between Chinese-led bi-cultural teleworking teams and the Norwegian-led bi-cultural teleworking teams. The results show that there exists obvious difference in leadership mechanisms,...
What would the demographics of typical science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs in the United States look like if the ratio of females going into those fields approached the ratio of females showing an aptitude and an affinity for STEM fields prior to puberty? The School of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) at Baylor University, in conjunction with the student sections...
A goal-driven engineering process-an engine of invention, innovation, and growth-is described to be the soul of management. As this synergy is implemented and lessons learned in the management training, the outcomes are expected to be higher than the individual aspirations of people comprising an organization. In the nano era, the integration of the artificial (human-initiated engineering) and natural...
A critical infrastructure (CI) consists of those physical and information technology facilities, networks, services and assets which, if disrupted or destroyed, have a serious impact on the health, safety, security or economic well-being of citizens or the effective functioning of governments. Nowadays, the operation controls of these infrastructures have been computerized and have gradually become...
Too often projects deliver software of which the quality is difficult to predict. Sometimes the project completion is delayed due to the continuous change of requirements while the software is still being built. The quality level must align with the company needs. It is extremely important that the planned benefits of an IT system are reached. When the benefits are not achieved it will cause much...
