The material requisition flow in the warehousing management was studied in the article, and combining the mining algorithm of causal rules, the material requisition based on data mining was developed. The system could fulfill the management requirements of the material requisition process for the enterprise, mine the data of material return and deeply analyze reasons, which can help the enterprise...
This paper presents project 'Alfalab'. Alfalab is a collaborative frame work project of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). It explores the success and fail factors for virtual research collaboration and supporting digital infrastructure in the Humanities. It does so by delivering a virtual research environment engineered through a virtual R&D collaborative and by drawing...
Archive is a collection of historical records which have been accumulated over the course of an individual and institution's lifetime. Archive is considered as an invaluable asset which provides us with an insight into the lives and circumstances of past generations. In this paper, we describe the workflow model of an archival management system adopted by Macau Historical Archives. To further analyze...
Nowadays, financial staffs are working in a knowledge society, and they have to master some new knowledge to meet the needs of their work. In this paper, we will firstly discuss what knowledge is and what knowledge management is. Then we will analyze the model of incentive mechanism and put forward the principles of incentive mechanism. Lastly, we will design knowledge management incentive system...
We report on the recent activities of PRISM, an electronic hub to support integration of digital resources into 6th - 12th-grade STEM classrooms for Indiana teachers. Specifically, this presentation gives a description and a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of integrating a course management system (Moodle) into a range of 6th - 12th grade content courses.
We document how Web 2.0 tools such as Wiki can be used to enhance peer to peer learning. As is commonly known, note-taking abilities vary among the students and that bad class notes exacerbates the problem of low comprehension or even wrong understanding of essential concepts. One tempting solution to address this is to hand out instructor notes/slides to the class or to assign students to scribe...
The quality of the classroom experience of engineering undergraduates has the potential to impact both retention of engineering students and student preparation for the workforce. An in-class peer tutoring (ICPT) program was initiated two years ago at Washington State University for statics and mechanics of materials courses. The ICPT program builds upon research on classroom practices and is characterized...
Alimentos Divertidos is an inquiry-based program for elementary schools that can be incorporated to elementary school classrooms without modifying the existing curriculum at the different modalities offered at this level in Mexico, which primary goal is to transform how students view and do science and engineering. Approximately 700 students have been engaged up to date to learn science and engineering...
We have developed and deployed T-Buddy system which is a social networking platform that significantly enhances the students' comprehension of the class material by promoting collaborative learning outside the classroom setting. T-Buddy system includes an online forum for posting comments on specific research topics posted by the students as well as a socializing medium that allows students to add...
An emerging literature focuses on differences in learning style between the so-called millennial generation and preceding generations of students. Concurrently, engineering educators have developed a number of intuitions about millennial students, most with the common theme of lowered tolerance for lecture settings. Two current threads addressing the ??lower attention span problem?? are (a) approaches...
Using the tablet PC as a lecturing device offers the instructor a new set of tools upon which their teaching can be based. Since the general student body consists of many different types of learning styles, these new tools can provide a means to reach a wider range of students than the traditional blackboard-based lectures. However, as a first step towards assessing the effectiveness of the tablet...
The Purdue School of Materials Engineering's successful ABET assessment in 2007 relied in part on an innovative approach to setting course objectives set at levels based on the performance expected for all students, most students and some students. By not relying merely on averages and variability or some scaling based on percentiles, faculty may match exam questions and written laboratory report...
We present the ??Lecomps?? Web-based e-learning environment, that automates the construction of adaptive personalized learning paths, tailored over learning goals, learner's knowledge and individual learning styles. A constraint logic based engine is used to perform the course construction and to support the teacher in the definition of the learning objects to be used (learning components). Learning...
Challenged by the current economic downturn, engineering programs lack room in their budgets to increase efforts for improving assessment, yet still face pressures from accreditation and educational stakeholders to do so. This paper presents an innovative practice focused on promoting engineering-classroom assessment of student learning with efforts to overcome these challenges. The practice proposes...
Retention of material taught to students can be affected by their active participation in a laboratory. The purpose of this active learning memory retention study is to determine how learning, varying active or passive participation, affects memory retention. This paper uses a weekly laboratory in a first-year engineering course as an example. We compare three modes of presentation of material: demonstration,...
Contribution: This research contributes a new understanding of classification of learners in a CSET classroom within a conceptual framework. We compared the grades for students in each classification for a few large classrooms. The results were sufficiently interesting to justify further empirical studies on the subject. Description: A particular set of classification of learners, drawn from Malcolm...
ECE 110 is a required course for freshmen majoring in electrical engineering or computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. ECE 110 students may choose to attend optional supervised study sessions, which implement peer-led team learning workshops. In the sessions, students work on difficult problems from previous semesters' exams under the supervision of a team leader...
Students come to universities with different goal orientations and therefore have different needs. Identifying varying orientation approaches, by highlighting differentiating traits, is a necessary step for developing a curriculum that will challenge and develop all students. This paper focuses specifically on three goal orientations which are performance approach, performance avoid, and mastery approach...
This paper discusses various aspects of the design and implementation of the curriculum for three relatively closely related undergraduate engineering programs; namely communication, electronic, and computer engineering. A major distinctive feature of the programs is the emphasis on engineering projects carried out in groups and individually as well. The programs have strong technical focus and are...
