Enterprise Systems: Challenges and Opportunities for Information Systems Education

This paper presents a perspective on “learning” in managing information, applied to enterprise systems. As its name suggests, an enterprise system encompasses a total view of all parts (functions, sub‐systems) of the complete whole (organization, system). This approach of designing solutions for system component within the overall framework of the total system offers unique challenges and opportunities for designing, developing and implementing information systems. To meet its mandate, information systems education should offer a multidisciplinary learning environment especially in engineering and sciences curriculum where it is not adequately emphasized. A framework that is designed to deliver a comprehensive learning environment for the entire academic community has been proposed.

Outcomes Assessment and the Faculty Culture: Conflict or Congruence?

The greatest challenge to developing an effective outcomes assessment system is the institutional culture of the faculty. This paper describes some characteristics of many engineering faculty cultures which create challenges and opportunities for those developing new outcomes assessment systems. Specific issues which the assessment team will face, and some approaches by which they can deal with the circumstances created by the faculty culture, are presented. By generating appropriate responses to the issues raised, the assessment team can develop specific, effective tactics for successfully developing and implementing an outcomes assessment system.

Targeting the stem cell niche with regenerative biomaterials

Regenerative medicine aims to restore form and function to aged, injured, and diseased tissues. One strategy that is gaining traction is in vivo regenerative medicine. Many adult tissues possess stem and progenitor cells that are enlisted to repair minor tissue damage after insult. However, in the setting of disease, aging, or criticalsized injuries, the microenvironment may lack structural elements, physical, and/or chemical cues required to drive repair to completion. Natural and synthetic materials offer an opportunity to facilitate the repair process by restoring the natural reparative capacity of adult tissues. Using design criteria selected based upon an understanding of the inductive niche cues that naturally instruct stem and progenitor cell behavior and fate, it is possible to elicit tissue repair by implementing a cell-free approach. This review highlights recent studies that assess biomaterials for in vivo regenerative medicine applications and demonstrate a capacity for controlling stem and progenitor cell behavior to restore tissue form and function.     

Essential Non‐Technical Skills for Teaming

The world of engineering is once again changing. Engineering education is changing from the narrow engineering science curriculum of the 1950s to a broader industry‐driven curriculum. Today's employers are seeking engineering graduates with advanced communication skills and the ability to work effectively in team‐based environments. Unfortunately, a large number of undergraduate engineering programs are not sufficiently providing students the skills necessary to succeed in the workplace of the future. In this paper 20 non‐technical skills, 10 curricular changes, and seven post‐graduate training methods were presented to Southern Illinois University at Carbondale College of Engineering graduates to evaluate. These graduates functioned both in team‐based and traditional work environments. Results indicated listening as the most important non‐technical skill; inclusion of real‐world applications as the most important curricular addition, and mentoring as the preferred post‐graduate method of learning nontechnical skills. The findings support further research for implementing changes in undergraduate engineering education to integrate and support development of non‐technical skills throughout undergraduate studies. These changes will in turn increase the production of well‐rounded and flexible graduates that are “workforce‐ready.“

A hierarchical fuzzy TOPSIS approach to assess improvement areas when implementing green supply chain initiatives

Implementing green supply chain management (GSCM) initiatives can generate more business opportunities for firms. It also requires changes in firms’ operational capabilities and resources that may have an adverse effect on firms’ operations performance. In order to achieve sustainable economic and environmental performance, it is essential for companies to evaluate different green initiatives and assess improvement areas when implementing green initiatives. This study proposes a fuzzy hierarchical TOPSIS approach to support such an assessment. It enables decision makers to better understand the complete evaluation process and provide a more accurate, effective and systematic decision support tool. An illustrative case is presented to help researchers and practitioners understand the importance of developing an appropriate organisation strategy in implementing green practices.     

ReMLab: a Java-based remote, didactic measurement laboratory

The availability of didactic experimental laboratories is of utmost importance for technical schools, mainly the engineering faculties. Experimental laboratories, however, represent a great investment, both in term of required money and space, that may become unbearable to the schools, especially when the number of students and the number of subjects that require lab classes increase. Remote laboratories are a very cost-effective solution to this problem, provided that they allow the students to access real instruments from any site connected to Internet without any need for buying commercial software. This paper shows how this goal has been achieved by implementing a Java-based client-server architecture that is presently used as a subsidiary laboratory for the measurement subjects in the Electrical Engineering curriculum at the Politecnico di Milano.

弥合临床医学与公共卫生的裂痕强化我国的疾病控制工作

阐述临床医学与公共卫生的割裂给中国疾病预防控制工作带来的严重危害;并说明中国卫生系统近年来在弥合这一裂痕方面所做的巨大努力,例如建立了传染病网络直报系统和"不明原因肺炎"监测报告体系,加强了结核病控制工作中医疗机构与疾控机构的紧密衔接,以及临床医学逐步接纳现代疾病防控理念,为适应患者需求,在控制重大慢性疾病——脑中风中实施的医疗服务模式的重大转变.虽然这些改革措施已经在调整和加强临床与公共卫生两个子系统的联系与合作中发挥了作用,提高了疾病控制体系的整体效能,但是这些进展仅仅是初步的.卫生系统还需要在制定和实施"医疗机构公共卫生工作规范"等方面做出更多的努力,以推动疾病控制效能的进一步提高.     

Restructuring for Strategic Outcomes

Restructuring in higher education is ultimately based on the need to continuously improve the learning experience for students and to prepare them for a constantly changing job market. Engineering programs are expected to prepare their graduates for success and leadership in business, industry, consulting, government, and education. Such preparation, of necessity, must display agility in responding to changing needs during times of uncertain and dwindling resources. For this reason, the College of Engineering and Science of Louisiana Tech University has been restructured to achieve significant improvement in accomplishing its objectives. This article describes the rationale and process of restructuring the college, aligning the budget according to the new structure, and developing a strategic plan in the context of an integrated structure and with the goal of achieving strategic outcomes. Early measurable successes in undergraduate curriculum reform, graduate curriculum, and research activity are reported.

The Development of Adaptive Expertise in Biomedical Engineering Ethics

This paper is an investigation of the How People Learn (HPL) Legacy Cycle's ability to expand adaptive expertise across the developmental span of high school and college. Participants included high school and college students. Pre‐test data indicated younger students (high school and first‐year college students) were less knowledgeable about the science of stem cells than older students (second‐, third‐, and fourth year college students), and all students were low in adaptiveness. Post‐test data showed that younger students achieved parity with the more advanced students in basic scientific knowledge. The younger students also became highly adaptive by the post‐test, but the older students did not advance beyond their pre‐curriculum levels. We hypothesize that the older students began the intervention with more preconceived notions about stem cells, and thus were less able to think and analyze flexibly within that framework.
