Failure is an Option:
A regulatory advantage of options market-makers significantly weakens the link between short sales and equity loans. Their advantage is an option to fail to deliver shares, created by their ability to sell short without first identifying a lender. Two years of transactions by a major market-maker shows failed deliveries in half the hard-to-borrow situations, and not a single negative-rebate loa...
متن کاملCurriculum for an engineering renaissance
Engineering is a serving profession. During the last century, engineering curricula have become technology and process focused to the detriment of the “soft skills” so necessary for a professional. This paper proposes that engineering curricula undergo major revisions to return to the original service mission of the profession. The key elements for a renaissance within engineering education are...

متن کاملTechnology Supported Learning Applied to an Innovative, Integrated Curriculum for First-Year Engineering Majors
In September of 1998, the College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth piloted an innovative, integrated, first-year curriculum. It dramatically changed 31 credits across two semesters. Preliminary assessment data was very encouraging after the first semester of operation and the college of engineering adopted a modified program for most freshman, engineering students in ...
متن کاملEmbodied experiences within an engineering curriculum
Although simple mechanisms are commonplace, reasoning about how they work— mechanistic reasoning—is often challenging. To foster mechanistic reasoning, we engaged students in the thirdand sixth-grades in the design of kinetic toys that consisted of systems of linked levers. To make the workings of these systems more visible, students participated in forms of activity that we conjectured would a...
