Systems Thinking Approach

In this paper we summarize the research on Systems Thinking for business management and explore several examples of business failures due to a lack of application of Systems Thinking, with an ultimate goal of offering a Systems Thinking approach that is useful to all levels of management. Although there is significant literature aimed at facilitating Systems Thinking in organizational management, there remains a lack of adoption of Systems Thinking in mainstream business practice. This is perhaps because the literature does not reduce high-level Systems Thinking principles to hands-on, practical protocols that are accessible for typical managers, thus limiting the working application of Systems Thinking concepts to researchers and consultants who specialize in the field. The goal of this work is to not only elaborate on the high-level ideals of System Thinking, but also to articulate a more precise and practical hands-on approach that is useful to all levels of business managers.

Secure Place

A new graduate from electrical engineering education must know about digital signal processing (DSP) to find a secure place in the competitive jobs market. Although this topic can be taught theoretically, its importance comes from practical applications. Therefore, students must be equipped with appropriate tools. Fortunately, DSP platforms serve this purpose. At Yeditepe University, we established a laboratory to guide students in real-time digital signal processing applications. We selected a Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 DSK platform for this purpose. In this study, we provide several laboratory applications on this platform. We also provide more advanced projects developed by our students which emerged from these applications. We observed that this laboratory improved the understanding of theoretical DSP concepts.

Intensive Course

Crystallography has long been a subject excluded from core curricula in undergraduate and graduate Chemistry programs. Occasionally offered as an elective or special topics course, crystallography remains a "black box" technique to many researchers who rely on it for verification of their work. Students interested in learning the theory and in-depth practical applications are often left to their own devices and seek out workshops, special courses, or one-on-one training. Currently, the authors host a ten-day intensive course on chemical crystallography, covering theory, hands-on experimental technique, and structure solution and refinement for both single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Here we describe the features of the course, the general curriculum and the demographics of attendees and faculty instructors.

The movement of a fluid represents a fundamental phenomenon with many practical applications in a variety of engineering disciplines. The losses incurred in pipes, ducts and fittings and the characteristics of the corresponding fluid flow patterns are core subjects of undergraduate engineering courses in fluid mechanics. These courses are typically accompanied by laboratory components that aim to help the students in visualizing and understanding the complex theoretical concepts. Conducting hands-on experiments in undergraduate laboratory courses with large student enrollment imposes significant strains on the fiscal, spatial and personnel resources of the educational institutions. Therefore, virtual and remote laboratories are rapidly being adopted in engineering education across the globe as a compelling tool for enhancing the laboratory experience of students residing on campus as well as beyond the local campus. This paper will discuss some recent developments that were accomplished as part of a multi-disciplinary research project on online laboratories at Stevens Institute of Technology with funding from the National Science Foundation. Here, a remote laboratory setup is presented, which was developed by retrofitting a commercially available air flow rig with remote control and remote monitoring capabilities. The resulting system enables the students to access the experimental apparatus via the Internet in real time from anywhere at anytime and to conduct several laboratory exercises, including the calibration of a flow meter based on an orifice plate that is inserted into the air stream, the exploration of the flow development in a straight pipe and the determination of the free-flow velocity profile after the outlet. This remote experiment setup and/or a previously developed interactive virtual flow rig simulation module can be used in the laboratory part of the fluid mechanics course to complement hands-on experiments where the students are present in the actual laboratory facility.

Abstract This is a hands-on workshop offered as a pre-conference training opportunity for researchers interested in applying machine learning techniques to animal science datasets with the purpose of classifying, clustering, performing linear and non-linear regressions or selecting a subset of features relevant to further studies. The objective of this workshop is to provide the audience with a way to formulate a problem such that it will be solvable by machine learning techniques and apply an exploratory analysis of various machine learning on different datasets. The workshop is structured in a hands-on format and includes a brief overview of basic notions about machine learning, a description of relevant models and evaluation metrics followed by a practical session. The practical session requires each attendee to bring their own laptop and have already installed the Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (Weka) workbench for machine learning available from https://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/ and all freely available machine learning models. The Weka installation of freely available machine learning models can be achieved by using the Weka Package Manager available from the Tools menu in the main application. Detailed information will be provided 2 weeks before the beginning of the workshop (week of July 5, 2020) at the following URL:http://animalbiosciences.uoguelph.ca/~dtulpan/conferences/asas2020_mlworkshop/

Analog circuit course is a compulsory professional basic course for engineering majors such as automation and electronic information engineering. Since traditional teaching methods cannot enable students to effectively master the knowledge of analog circuits, this article proposes a teaching method of analog circuits based on the analysis of classic application circuits, including the idea of selecting classic application circuits, "seeing pictures, impression enhancement method of “reading, drawing and memorizing circuit diagram" and hands-on implementation of classic circuits. Through the practice of teaching reform for one semester, the results show that the teaching method enhances students' enthusiasm for learning, enables students to integrate theoretical knowledge, deeply understand application circuits, and then carry out practical applications or innovate on this basis.

Industry Experience

Experiential learning is a critical component to a college education in the area of sport management as students must enter the workforce with hands-on industry experience. One experiential learning tool is a cocurricular club that offers volunteer work experience for sport management majors. The University of Tennessee’s Partners in Sports is an example of a sport management cocurricular club that prepares students for working in the sport industry through volunteer experiences. The purpose of this study was to provide a governance and organizational framework of a student-operated sport management cocurricular club and explore how it fits into the Foster Five-Step Experiential Learning Model (Foster & Dollar, 2010). This study examines the governance, student involvement, leadership, opportunities, financials, and yearly activities of Partners in Sports and offers practical applications for each area. The exploration revealed that a cocurricular club fits on the Volunteer Exploration step of the Foster Five-Step Experiential Learning Model as it introduces students to the sport industry by offering experiential learning opportunities. Providing a cocurricular club allows sport management programs to maximize initial industry exposure to students.

Training programs in applied anthropology are increasingly differentiating themselves from traditional programs in university settings. In order to prepare students for employment outside of academia, the practical applications and usefulness of anthropology must be integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. Courses that combine the theoretical and methodological foundation of our discipline with the necessary skills to practice anthropology demand that students be given "hands on" experience in the field. A crucial aspect of any applied program is to provide the student with internship and research opportunities in international or local settings. The program at Georgia State University, while emphasizing international training, offers students opportunities in both settings.
