1/16/2019: Program Change Business
No full textThis proposal includes a change in the name of the undergraduate business program from a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration to a Bachelor of Science in Management, and a realignment of the curriculum to better address the intent of the management program. The name change better reflects the intent of a focus on educating managers as opposed to a focus in specific business disciplines. In particular, the Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) will consist of a rigorous core of management knowledge with emphasis on application; integrating knowing and doing by targeting academic preparation to professional development through coordination with cooperative educational experiences. The BSM will also feature preparation in Systems Management as an approach to fostering integrative understanding of the work of managers in today’s increasingly complex business environment. Additionally, students will have four alternatives for concentration of elective courses from other undergraduate programs at Kettering, as well as resources within the School of Management. These concentrations leverage strengths at Kettering University while also allowing students to significantly personalize their educational experience.

Optimal Design of an Automotive Rear Axle Housing
No full textIn this paper, the authors describe the optimization of a rear axle housing for a 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. This optimization was conducted using the optimization and FEA capabilities of NXTM, the product development solution from Siemens PLM software, with the objective of minimizing the weight, subject to constraints on the maximum stress in the housing. The optimization was conducted twice, once with a single design variable and once with five design variables. In both cases, the optimization problem converged to an optimal design, and the weight was reduced. In the first case, the weight of the housing was reduced by 15%; in the second case, it was reduced by 47%. These reductions could be expected to have a large impact on fuel economy and performance of the vehicle
Busy Period Analysis of GI/G/c and MAP/G/c Queues
No full textThe busy period analysis of queueing systems, in general, is very involved and complicated. Even for the simplest queueing model, namely M / M / 1, the probability density function of the busy period is obtained in terms of modified Bessel function. A number of approaches using complex analysis, combinatorics, lattice path, and matrix-analytic methods have been applied to study some selected queueing models. While the steady-state analysis involving queue length and waiting times of queueing models, in general, has been receiving considerable and significant attention in the literature from both analytical and algorithmic points of view, the same cannot be said (relatively speaking) about busy period analysis. This is inherent in the nature of the busy period more than by choice. In this paper, after establishing the complexity involved in the study of the busy period, we record some interesting observations on the busy period under a wide variety of scenarios through simulation approach. The main purpose is to help researchers to look for novel theoretical and/or numerical approach to solving functional equations which naturally arise in the study of busy periods and use the simulated results here as one of the ways to confirm/validate their results
