Revising A Portfolio Initiative To Assess Student Progress In A Mechanical Engineering Program, Nancy B. Barr

ASEE North Midwest Section Annual Conference 2020 Publications

Background: This work-in-progress paper describes an effort to modify a pre-existing course portfolio initiative in a large mechanical engineering undergraduate program to be used for multiple forms of program assessment while maintaining its value as a student learning tool.
Purpose: This paper aims to outline the process that an ad-hoc department committee used to define what it wanted to assess in a required four-course second and third-year problem-based learning sequence by reviewing various rubric options.
Design: Deciding what to assess and what language to use in a rubric involved a series of facilitated discussions.
Results: Following a mock assessment exercise, …

A Comprehensive And Absolute Corporate Sustainability Assessment And Enhanced Input Output Life Cycle Assessment, Joseph M. Wright

Dissertations

Stresses due to economic activity are threatening to exceed environmental and societal limits with the potential to jeopardize local communities and create global crises. This research proposes new methodologies and analytic techniques to comprehensively assess corporate sustainability and enhance the efficiency of estimating environmental and social impacts with Input Output Life Cycle Assessment (IOLCA).

Sustainability assessments and management require consideration of both social and environmental impacts as outflows of economic activity. There are a number of assessment tools available to gain insight into environmental and social impacts; but in most cases, these approaches lack essential components for a comprehensive and …

Forecasting The Gas Fluiding Process Deposits With Application Of The Universal Regression Model, Sh.Zh. Mirboboev, Z.A. Razykov, S.K. Sokhoshko, Yu. Sultonov

Gorniy vestnik Uzbekistana

This article discusses mathematical methods for predicting the degree of flooding of gas deposits using the Universal regression model, using the example of actual data from observation wells of the Yamburgskoye oil and gas condensate field.

Besнtentyak Oil And Gas-Condensate Field Water Analysis, Sh.Zh. Mirboboev, Z.A. Razykov, S.K. Sokhoshko

Gorniy vestnik Uzbekistana

The article deals with the analysis of waterlogging and development dynamics oil and gas condensate field Beshtyentyak. As a result, have been determined the distribution of wells by the accumulated oil and liquid withdrawals, the periods of water manifestations of the wells in this field, and the changes in the oil-and-gas concentration and water supply. The further work of gas and gas condensate wells is estimated at the Beshtyentyak oil and gas condensate field.

Organisational-Level Assessment Of Cloud Computing Adoption: Evidence From The Australian Smes, Salim Al Isma'ili, Mengxiang Li, Jun Shen, Pu Huang, Qiang He, Wu Zhan

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Cloud Computing (CC) is an emerging technology that can potentially revolutionise the application and delivery of IT. There has been little research, however, into the adoption of CC in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The indicators show that CC has been adopted very slowly. There is also a significant research gap in the investigation of the adoption of this innovation in SMEs. This article explores how the adoption of CC in Australia is related to technological factors, risk factors, and environmental factors. The study provides useful insights that can be utilised practically by SMEs, policymakers, and cloud vendors.

A Longitudinal Examination Of Biomechanical Balance And Quantitative Multidomain Assessments During Recovery Following Sport-Related Concussion, Moira Kate Pyrhoda

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Sport-related concussion is an inherent risk to athlete health in contact and collision sports. Both short- and long-term risks are associated with the injury. Short-term, athletes may develop post-concussion syndrome (PCS), the persistence of cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms for weeks or months after injury. Athletes who return to play (RTP) prematurely are at increased risk for lower extremity injury and repeated concussion injuries. Long-term, history of multiple concussions have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Due to these risks, concussion assessments must be sensitive to the injury and useful in the diagnosis, recovery, and RTP phases of the injury.
