Multimedia Web-Based Resources For Engineering Education: The Media Design And Assessment Laboratory At Umr, Vicki M. Eller, Steve Eugene Watkins, Richard H. Hall, Joel Balestra, Asha S. Rao Dec 2001

Multimedia Web-Based Resources For Engineering Education: The Media Design And Assessment Laboratory At Umr, Vicki M. Eller, Steve Eugene Watkins, Richard H. Hall, Joel Balestra, Asha S. Rao

Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Design, Development, and Assessment of Web-Based Multimedia Learning Resources Are Important Aspects of Engineering Education. the Media Design and Assessment Laboratory at the University of Missouri-Rolla Was Established to Facilitate the Interaction between Web Designers and Content Providers. It Was Created under the Auspices of the Instructional Software Development Center. This Paper Will Discuss Design Philosophy in Terms of the Identification of Fundamental Concepts, Development Steps, and Assessment Implementation within the Context of Ongoing Projects. These Projects Include Modules for an Optics Curriculum, Tutorials for an Interdisciplinary Course, and Interactive Software for a Basic Engineering Course.

Flowers For The World: Developing A Business Game To Support The Teaching Of Is Concepts, Trevor T. Moores, Jerry Cha-Jan Chang Jan 2001

Flowers For The World: Developing A Business Game To Support The Teaching Of Is Concepts, Trevor T. Moores, Jerry Cha-Jan Chang

Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology Faculty Research

One of the key problems in teaching fundamental concepts in information systems is how to ground the theory in experiences that the students can relate to. To overcome this problem, a business game called Flowers For The World has been developed and used across a wide variety of IS courses. This paper will describe the game and the result of using it for a 300-level course in analysis and design. The possibility exists that the game could be developed to provide a common business foundation across all business school curricula.

The Evolution Of Manufacturing Planning And Control Systems: From Reorder Point To Enterprise Resource Planning., Patrick Rondeau, L. A. Litteral Jan 2001

The Evolution Of Manufacturing Planning And Control Systems: From Reorder Point To Enterprise Resource Planning., Patrick Rondeau, L. A. Litteral

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

Manufacturing planning and control (MPC) systems have existed since the earliest days of the industrial revolution. To gain a historical perspective, it is useful to look at the evolution of these systems. Five major stages were involved: reorder point (ROP) systems, materials requirement planning (MRP) systems, manufacturing resource planning (MRP-II) systems, MRP-II with manufacturing execution systems (MES), and enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) with MES. When examined in detail, each stage represents the next logical step in manufacturing philosophy and technological innovation over the preceding stage.

Sistem Penganalisa Rangkaian (Nas), Mohd Haris Afiatul Syahrizat Jan 2001

Sistem Penganalisa Rangkaian (Nas), Mohd Haris Afiatul Syahrizat

Student Works (2000-2009)

Sistem Penganalisa Rangkaian (Nas) merupakan tajuk untuk latihan ilmiah saya bagi memenuhi keperluan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sains Komputer. Projek ini di bawah penyeliaan Cik Fazidah Othman merupakan sebuah sistem pemantauan aktiviti rangkaian (LAN) “standalone” dan interaktif. Sistem ini dibangunkan berlandaskan kehendak penggunanya yang lebih ditumpukan kepada pentadbir dan jurutera rangkaian sendiri. Sistem ini dapat membantui pentadbir rangkaian dalam memantau aktiviti semasa rangkaian. Ini membolehkan pentadbir rangkaian mendapatkan statistik aktiviti-aktiviti rangkaian yang berjalan yang merangkumi aktiviti internet dan keluar masuk data di dalam rangkaian. Sistem ini dibangunkan menggunakan perisian Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Access 2000 dan boleh dilarikan pada persekitaran …

Focused Graduate Education: An Invisible But Real Competitive Edge, Roland D. Kankey, Jan P. Muczyk, Neal M. Ely Oct 1997

Focused Graduate Education: An Invisible But Real Competitive Edge, Roland D. Kankey, Jan P. Muczyk, Neal M. Ely

Faculty Publications

The future mission of the Air Force will be diverse and complex. Advanced technology will play an increasingly prominent role; a smaller force must accomplish more. To support this mission, our acquisition corps must be intellectually capable, well educated and trained. Focused graduate education will be essential to sustain this effort.

Transplanting Manufacturing Power: Observations From Five Years At Fujitsu, Steven M. Miller Jan 1995

Transplanting Manufacturing Power: Observations From Five Years At Fujitsu, Steven M. Miller

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Within a factory, what are the underpinnings of manufacturing power? During my thirty-month residency at Fujitsu's factory in Oyama, Japan, I constantly reflected on this question. The standard view of a factory structure provided by an organization chart was inadequate for summarizing my observations.

Deterministic Approximations To Co-Production Problems With Service Constraints And Random Yields, Gabriel R. Bitran, Thin Yin Leong May 1992

Deterministic Approximations To Co-Production Problems With Service Constraints And Random Yields, Gabriel R. Bitran, Thin Yin Leong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Production planning problems where multiple item categories are produced simultaneously are examined. The items have random yields and are used to satisfy the demands of many products. These products have specification requirements that overlap. An item originally targeted to satisfy the demand of one product may be used to satisfy the demand of other products when it conforms to their specifications. Customers' demand must be satisfied from inventory. The problem is formulated with service constraints and a near-optimal solution is provided to the problem with a fixed planning horizon. Simple heuristics are proposed for the problem solved with a rolling …

An Analysis Of The Information Requirements Of Conus Based Deputy Commanders For Maintenance, Daniel J. Green Dec 1991

An Analysis Of The Information Requirements Of Conus Based Deputy Commanders For Maintenance, Daniel J. Green

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to identify the information requirements of Air Force Deputy Commanders for Maintenance. It had three basic objectives: (1) identify the critical success factors that they monitor on a continuous basis, (2) identify similarities in those requirements for all DGMs and across major commands, and (3) determine if the application of information technology would enhance their decision making. Surveys were sent to all CONUS based Deputy Commanders for Maintenance. The study found that there were nine critical success factors that were used by a majority of all respondents. In addition, nine command-specific critical success factors …

Economic Models For Battery Energy Storage: Improvements For Existing Methods, Ronald C. Reckrodt, Max Darwin Anderson, Raymond Michael Kluczny Jan 1990

Economic Models For Battery Energy Storage: Improvements For Existing Methods, Ronald C. Reckrodt, Max Darwin Anderson, Raymond Michael Kluczny

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

While the technology required to produce viable Battery Energy Storage System exists, the economic feasibility (cost vs. benefits) of building these systems requires justification. First, a generalized decision diagram was developed to ensure that all of the economic factors were considered and properly related for the customer-side-of-the meter. Next, two economic models that had consistently given differing results were compared. One was the McKinney model developed at UM-Rolla in 1987; the second was the SYSPLAN model developed by Battelle. Differences were resolved on a point-by-point basis with reference to the current economic environment. The economic model was upgraded to include …

Love, Death And The Hexadecimal, Roger A. Lohmann Dec 1980

Love, Death And The Hexadecimal, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

This paper analyzes the role of information in social casework practice. Three models of computer-based information processing are discussed: Cybernetic, Management Information Systems and Natural Language Processing. The latter is most consistent with social casework information needs because of its potential to focus on the problems of the meaning of social action.
