The “new” Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology criteria, EC-2000, has caused engineering educators to focus on 11 intentionally undefined outcomes as a necessary step in the accreditation process. As part of a large study sponsored by the National Science Foundation, a framework, based on Bloom’s taxonomy, has been developed for better specifying these outcomes. Using this framewo...

Background: The aims of the research that formed the basis of the current study are as follows: Determining methods that are used by teachers for giving feedback in clinical settings. Determining types of feedback, teachers give to their students in clinical settings. Determining barriers of giving feedback and its important teachers’ experience in clinical settings. Methods: This applied res...

This paper investigates the feedback stabilization problem of linear time-varying uncertain delay systems using linear memoryless state feedback control. Each uncertain parameter and each delay under consideration may take arbitrarily large values. In such a situation, the locations of uncertain entries in the system matrices play an important role. It has been shown that if a system has a part...

We study auctions whose bidders are embedded in a social or economic network. As a result, even bidders who do not win the auction themselves might derive utility from the auction, namely, when a friend wins. On the other hand, when an enemy or competitor wins, a bidder might derive negative utility. Such spite and altruism will alter the bidding strategies. A simple and natural model for bidde...

Problems with Rationality Rational agents will not submit feedback at all because it is not rational for them to do so feedback is a public good, giving feedback is associated with costs but no direct gain. Reputation Mechanism needs to set incentives to submit feedback to further trustworthy feedback Problems with Rationality Rational agents will not submit feedback at all because it is not ra...
