Recruiting For Higher Education: The Roles That Print, Web, And Social Media Play In The Decision Process For Prospective Students, Brandon X. Karcher
Recruiting For Higher Education: The Roles That Print, Web, And Social Media Play In The Decision Process For Prospective Students, Brandon X. Karcher
Department of Computer Graphics Technology Degree Theses
Recruiting in higher education is a process that has been an evolving process since it first began. The most traditional methods for recruiting have been through print, web, and campus visits. However, with new social media like Facebook, Twitter, and other services, many universities have adopted the new media for recruiting purposes. Social media, coupled with a more technologically adept population of prospective students forces universities and colleges to look at an increasing number of mediums for recruiting. There is a lack of literature that documents the usefulness of the newer social media outlets. This study was designed to determine …
W.E. Bowers Ans Associates, Inc. Financial Operations Manual For Construction Cost Accounting, Stephen E. Brown
W.E. Bowers Ans Associates, Inc. Financial Operations Manual For Construction Cost Accounting, Stephen E. Brown
Purdue Polytechnic Masters Theses
W.E. Bowers and Associates, Inc. typically hires experienced project managers eager to
diversify their work experience. W.E. Bowers and Associates, Inc. verbally instructs
project managers to properly utilize the companies forms and the processes for financial
management of projects. The verbal training typically occurs in a piecemeal fashion. It
occurs only when a new project manager asks
“How To” perform specific tasks. The
project managers all come with different backgrounds and with different backgrounds,
come different business management strategies. The creation of this financial operations
manual will aid in the training of project managers and provide the company with a …
How Much Do U.S. University Students Know, And Want To Know, About Sustainability And Green Building? The Findings Of A Survey, And Possible Implications For General Elective Curricula., Jeremy R. Farner
Purdue Polytechnic Masters Theses
Using the survey approach, this investigation examined the attitudes and interest of college students at two universities in different geographic locations within the United States. Approximately 24,000 students from all disciplines and majors at Weber State University (WSU) in Utah, and 4,000 at Purdue University in Indiana, were invited to participate in a study to determine current knowledge, familiarity, and interest in topics within the sustainability and Green Building educational arena. The goal of this study was to determine what students already know, would like to know, and how much interest there would be in developing …
How Do Millennial Engineering And Technology Students Experience Learning Through Traditional Teaching Methods Employed In The University Setting?, Elizabeth A. Howard
How Do Millennial Engineering And Technology Students Experience Learning Through Traditional Teaching Methods Employed In The University Setting?, Elizabeth A. Howard
Department of Computer Graphics Technology Degree Theses
The purpose of the study was to document and analyze how Millennial engineering and technology students experience learning in large lecture classrooms. To help achieve this purpose, perceptions Millennials have toward traditional teaching methods employed in large lecture classes were analyzed and discussed. Additionally, this study documented how Millennials experienced technology within large lecture classrooms. A learning model depicting how Millennials experience learning within the large lecture classroom was created based on the results of this study. This model employed three separate tools utilized within the large lecture classroom. These tools: Lecture, Technology, and Homework, work together to synthesize learning …

A Cost-Benefit Analysis Of A Campus Computing Grid, Preston M. Smith
A Cost-Benefit Analysis Of A Campus Computing Grid, Preston M. Smith
Purdue Polytechnic Masters Theses
Any major research institution has a substantial number of computer systems on its campus, often in the scale of tens of thousands. Given that a large amount of scientific computing is appropriate for execution in an opportunistic environment, a campus grid is an inexpensive way to build a powerful computational resource. What is missing, though, is a model for making an informed decision on the cost-effectives of a campus grid. In this thesis, the author describes a model for measuring the costs and benefits of building a campus computing resource based on the institution’s existing investment in computing hardware.

Flight Operational Quality Assurance For University Aviation Operations, Lauren Vala
Flight Operational Quality Assurance For University Aviation Operations, Lauren Vala
Purdue Polytechnic Directed Projects
The ability to use quantitative, objective flight data in order to improve training and operations has dramatically changed in the last decade. By taking advantage of hundreds of sensor collecting digital data on single engine aircraft, the use of Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) programs become more feasible for non-airline operations. With the integration of FOQA data use into university aviation operations, multiple opportunities exist for a complete utilization of this data in a variety of applications.
There are many barriers to overcome during implementation and use of FOQA data in the training environment. The goals and efforts of university …
Computer Skills Effects Of Flight Data Monitoring Technology In An Aircraft Inspection Process, Thomas P. Speca
Computer Skills Effects Of Flight Data Monitoring Technology In An Aircraft Inspection Process, Thomas P. Speca
Purdue Polytechnic Directed Projects
Purdue University has recently purchased and deployed a new fleet of aircraft that include a cutting edge avionics suite with flight data monitoring technology. This technology gathers data during flight on airframe, powerplant, and flight parameters of the airplane. This study evaluated how the new technologies influenced the inspection process of the airplanes, as well as highlight new skills required by the inspectors to utilize the technologies. This issue was addressed because inspectors may not be able to take full advantage of what the new data from the airplane if they don’t possess the proper skills to access and assess …

The Implementation Of Web-Based Project Management Systems By The General Contractor: Transferring From Hard-Copy To Digital Format., Jason A. Miller
Purdue Polytechnic Directed Projects
Abstract
The construction industry is undergoing a transition from being paper based to a digital one. This transition puts a document management challenge on all members of the construction team, but most specifically the general contractor which has to ensure that the appropriate information reaches the intended party in a usable format. The submittal process has historically been very paper intensive with multiple copies begin distributed to various parties. Transitioning to a digital format will decrease the amount of paper copies, but presents challenges to the general contractor. The first is the traditional method of noting documents will not be …
Comparisons Between Educational Map Software Displaying Soil Data, Laura A. Kocur
Comparisons Between Educational Map Software Displaying Soil Data, Laura A. Kocur
Department of Computer Graphics Technology Degree Theses
The use of technology in the classroom is becoming more widespread, and the area of agronomy is no different. Utilization of various mapping technology is more common in instructional components in the classroom, although the impacts of software usability have not yet been explored. Maps available over the Internet are identified as an area in which usability is not known, nor are there any fixed standards or conventions to govern the display of them. The recently developed mapping prototype is intended to increase accessibility to map data used in class, as well as make it easier to use the data. …
