This paper focuses on ways to decide which advanced course of study is the best option for the career. The paper highlights that unlike the latitude offered to MBA students, the same variety of programs will not be found in engineering. There are very few accelerated master level engineering programs, but typically, one will have the advantage of not having to take prerequisites to start the program. However, unlike an MBA, which may require engineers to take prerequisite business classes before they start the actual degree program, in a master’s program in engineering, engineers will typically be allowed to take master’s level classes immediately. The MSE is marketable, but in a unique way from an MBA. However, many individuals outside the engineering discipline will have scant knowledge of just how this degree contributes to the organization. The MBA, on the other hand, is a widely recognized degree, and many people within and outside of engineering understand how an MBA contributes to an organization’s success. Both degrees can contribute to career advancement. It is important to let others know how this advanced education contributes to the goals of the organization. Deciding to obtain an advanced degree, whether it is in engineering or business, requires a commitment of time, effort, and expense. However, more important, the right degree can make an enormous difference in career opportunities.

Background. Exercise causes enhanced sympathetic discharge and results in physiologic tachycardia. However, in some patients with a diseased conduction system resulting from acute ischemia, exercise can precipitate heart block. Methods and results. In this report we describe a 51 years old male patient with transient advanced degree atrioventricular (AV) block developed during recovery from exercise stress testing, resolved after the administration of atropine. Nuclear perfusion imaging demostrated stress-induced ischemia of the inferior-apical segments, and recovery of perfusion in the images obtained at rest. Coronarography showed critical stenosis of the right coronary artery, which was treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug eluting stent (DES) deployment. Conclusion. Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging provides noninvasive evidence that transient ischemia of the infero- apical segment can result in advanced degree AV block in patient with critical severe right coronary disease.

This design case chronicles a photography assignment starting with its origins in the master’s level lab of a communications design program in Taiwan’s National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, directed by Jalin Huang. We follow this assignment through its adaptation for a basic media development course taught by Professor Elizabeth Boling in the instructional design master’s program at Indiana University, and on to its evolution as a learning exercise and communication device in the instructional design studio sequence of that same program. Along the way, Yichuan Yan, a student from the development course, discusses the experience of receiving and carrying out this assignment in the context of the media development course. Revisions to the assignment for the communications students in Taiwan are also discussed.

Engineering in general is a process-intensive domain. Processes and process models underpin the activities of every Engineering discipline, ensuring consistent outputs by sequencing the right activities in the correct order. Acknowledging the importance of process models, there is a clear need for effective methods for verifying such models to ensure efficiency and correctness. This paper introduces a new formal methodology for the analysis and verification of processes,Behavior Engineering(BE) [1]. BE has proven very effective when applied to the development of process models. In this example, the discipline is Software Engineering, yet it is argued that the approach can be applied to any process or set of processes from Chemical, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering.

Responsibility Scale

The purpose was to identify personality traits of those individuals who might have the necessary psychological commitment to pursue actively an advanced degree in psychology. 35 graduate students, 39 undergraduates, and 22 applicants to a Master's program were administered the California Psychological Inventory to study personality trait differences at these levels. One-way analyses of variance indicated significantly higher scores for graduates than undergraduates on the scales of Dominance, Social Presence, Self-acceptance, Intellectual Efficiency, and Psychological-mindedness. The only differences between applicants and graduates showed the former to be higher on the Responsibility scale. One-way analyses of covariance, covarying for age of the subject, showed age less important in personality change of the college graduate students than their educational experience. These results suggest a means of identifying potentially successful graduate students in psychology early in their educational experience.

Environmental engineering education has rapidly expanded in recent years and new teaching methods are needed. Many professionals and educators believe that a MS degree in environmental engineering should be the minimum in order to practice the profession, along with practical training. This paper describes an innovative program being offered at the University of Cincinnati that combines an integrated BS in civil engineering and an MS in environmental engineering with extensive practical co-operative education (co-op) experience, all within a five-year period. The program includes distance learning opportunities during the co-op periods. The result is a well-trained graduate who will receive higher pay and more challenging career opportunities, and who will have developed professionalism and maturity beyond that from traditional engineering programs.

This chapter examines professional women's motivations for part-time and flexible working beyond a ubiquitous balance-seeking goal. Three common motivations form shared intention narratives that express what women hope to achieve with their employment adjustment: resolving work–life conflict, protecting careers, and expanding careers. Close examination of how women explain their motivation for their particular working arrangement reveals the layers of meaning attached to it and the complexity of the practical and ideological settlement it reflects. This particular employment transition holds far greater significance in mothers' lives than a simple adjustment to the contract of employment. The chapter illustrates how mothers' working hours choices are morally potent, socially informed, and internally justified as the right way for them to do things at the time. An important finding is the pursuit of part-time and flexible working arrangements with the express intention to expand career opportunities.

Purpose. To evaluate foveal outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness and the difference thereof between bilateral eyes and their possible associations with clinical characteristics in a healthy Chinese population. Materials and Methods. Normal subjects were enrolled. Generalized linear models were used to assess the associations of foveal ONL thickness with sex, age, and spherical equivalents (SEs) and the associations of the difference in foveal ONL thickness between bilateral eyes with sex, age, and difference in SEs between bilateral eyes. Results. Totally, 304 subjects were included. The average foveal ONL thickness was 103.19 ± 14.25 (range 70–151) μm in the right eye and 103.90 ± 14.63 (range 69–155) μm in the left eye. The mean difference in foveal ONL thickness between right and left eyes was −0.71 ± 4.36 (range −13 to +12) μm. Men had slightly greater foveal ONL thickness values in both right and left eyes compared with women (both P<0.05); however, some women had a thicker foveal ONL than that of men (85/198 vs. 46/106 in the right eye; 79/198 vs. 52/106in the left eye). Age and SEs were not associated with foveal ONL thickness in either eye (all P>0.05). Sex, age, and difference in SEs between bilateral eyes were not associated with the difference in foveal ONL thickness between bilateral eyes (all P>0.05). Conclusions. Foveal ONL thickness showed wide variation in a normal Chinese population but little difference between bilateral eyes. Both these parameters could not be adjusted by sex, age, SEs, or the SEs difference between bilateral eyes. Thus, in those diseases involving only one eye, the difference or ratio of foveal ONL thickness between the affected eye and normal fellow eye may reflect the actual degree of the disease, rather than the foveal ONL thickness in the affected eye alone.

Customer Development

This account of practice focuses on an augmented Customer Development methodology which the author adopted for a module in a Master’s program in Entrepreneurship at a Swedish business school. The article details the techniques underlying this augmented methodology, and the journey toward its implementation. By conceptualizing “hypotheses” as testable statements linking together blocks of the Business Model Canvas, and “assumptions” as students’ assessments of the contents of each block at the outset of the process, the author provides a more pedagogical as well as a more scientifically and theoretically consistent model. Its effectiveness was assessed through discussing these changes with students who had recently taken the course prior to the author’s appointment as teacher. Adaptations such as this could provide an effective method for teachers who want to update an existing course, or who have recently been appointed to a new course focusing on practical aspects of entrepreneurship. Alternatively, it could help to inspire teachers who wish to augment course content to draw more on coherent theory building and good scientific practice, as are most often suited to Master’s level studies, but without radically altering the lesson plan, syllabus or reading material.
