8/5/2020 Course Change Form - Tech MBA Creation
No full textIn order to ensure a separate STEM classification, the Tech-MBA can’t be a specific track of the MBA program within the current CIP 52.0201. The Tech MBA has to be a separate graduate degree program with its STEM focused curriculum that can qualify for a unique STEM designated CIP code (most likely CIP 15.1501) following the Department of Education’s NCES Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) taxonomy. As prescribed in the Technical Track of the MBA degree program, the Tech MBA will entail 28 credit hours of Core Courses and 12 credit hours of STEM Emphasis Courses.
Like the Technical Track in the MBA, this program will only be available on campus.
This program change moves the Tech-MBA Technical Track course options along with the MBA core to its own program to reflect the following curriculum (no change in curriculum proposed)
8/5/2020: Course Change Form MGMT 679
No full textIntroduction of this 400/600 dual listed course will provide another opportunity for eligible Kettering University students who are admitted into the Accelerated Masters Program to earn dual credits towards earning their BS-MBA or BS-MS degrees. The Leadership course is a required course in BS in Management program and also included in the Global Leadership Certificate option within the MBA traditional track and MS programs in Engineering Management, Operations Management, and Supply Chain Management.
While students will be attending the same class, there will be two separate sets of course objectives and requirements. The expectations and requirements for the graduate course will be significantly increased to meet the rigor and standards of the Graduate College
Fostering student engagement through a real-world, collaborative project across disciplines and institutions
Get PDFAmple research has identified several features of a learning experience likely to enhance student learning, including collaboration, open-ended exploration, and problem-based learning in real-life scenarios. Missing is a model of how instructors might combine these elements into a single project that works flexibly across disciplines and institutions. This article fills this gap by offering such a model and reporting on its effectiveness in fostering student engagement. It describes a project that instructors at four colleges and universities in Flint, Michigan (USA) piloted during the height of the Flint water crisis. The project asked students to apply class content to the real-world problem unfolding around them, and offered students an opportunity to collaborate with peers. We collected qualitative and quantitative data on students’ reactions to the project, and found that the project succeeded in engaging students. We offer recommendations for how instructors can create similar projects in their own classrooms
Automated 3D Printer Bed Clearing Mechanism
No full textThe objective of this work was to design an automated bed clearing mechanism for the Anet brand A8 3D printer, which uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. This work has been carried out as a capstone course. Many OEMs are focusing on using functional 3D printed parts to replace metal parts that otherwise require complex assemblies or to reduce weight. The concept behind the work presented in this paper was to allow every user to be able to print multiple parts without human interaction. This saves time to load and unload one part at a time. The idea was to develop a universal bed clearing mechanism that can be used for most brands of 3D printers. Upon researching into the many different styles and designs of printers, it became clear that the designs are different and complex to create a universal product. It was decided to aim for the most common style of 3D printers for which easy modeling and testing should be possible. Also, it was decided to explore two separate ideas for the design. The first design was a treadmill design that would rotate a conveyor belt and peel the part off of the belt. The second design had a pushing mechanism that would clear the entire glass bed and replace it with a new one. Both these machines use 3D printed parts that allows simplification of the manufacturing process and to fabricate better-optimized parts. Online data was used to determine the actual strength of these 3D printed parts, as their properties do not follow classically manufactured plastics. The electronics used to run both designs were Arduino brand microcontrollers. These controllers allowed the team to automate the movement of the system along with servos and small DC motors. Due to space limitations only the conveyor design is presented in this paper
