Training is often the performance improvement solution of choice, yet how often does the best training not yield performance improvement? There is a growing body of evidence that indicates that many times performance improvement can be achieved faster, cheaper, and better by altering factors in the workplace than by training. This article describes an activity designed to illustrate the importance of workplace factors in improving performance and a study that demonstrates its validity. Results of the study indicate that two‐thirds of the participants believed the environmental factors of information, resources, and incentives needed improving in order to enable them to improve their own performance.

Poly-silicon-capped (poly-Si-capped) polysilicon-germanium (poly-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been designed and fabricated with the aim to improve performance of load devices in high-density mega-bit SRAM cells. Poly-Si-capped poly-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ TFTs utilize the excellent interface between oxide and poly-Si interface as well as the higher mobilities of poly-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/. P-channel poly-Si-capped poly-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ TFTs show superior device results compared to similarly-processed poly-Si TFTs.

National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Science and Engineering Inc. (GEM) Notre Dame IN 46556 Dr. Norman L. Fortenberry
ScD: is Executive Director of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Science and Engineering Inc. (GEM). GEM is a $4.2-million enterprise with offices in three states and a staff of 13. He is also an adjunct professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Fortenberry received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has worked in industry government and the academy. Prior to joining GEM he was Staff Associate and a program director (engineering) in the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) of the National Science Foundation. Before joining NSF he was an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and associate director of minority engineering programs at the Florida A&M University/Florida State University College of Engineering in Tallahassee Florida. At FAMU/FSU he sponsored research programs in the areas of design theory and methodology as well as in recruitment retention and professional development of students.

I am pleased to introduce a new column in CAE entitled “Under the Jeweler's Loop,” which will be prepared by Dr. Norman L. Fortenberry. As you may recall, while program director in the Division of Undergraduate Education at the National Science Foundation, Dr. Fortenberry introduced and was the editor of the “What's DUE” column. He has now joined the National Consortium for graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science, Inc. (GEM), as its Executive Director, and we are delighted to introduce him as the editor of the new “Under the Jeweler's Loop” column. Meanwhile, Dr. Janet Rutledge, who is now program director in the Division of Undergraduate Education at NSF, will continue Dr. Fortenberry's work and has graciously agreed to continue to prepare the “What's DUE” column. We are delighted to have Dr. Rutledge on the Editorial Board of CAE , and welcome the opportunity to have Dr. Fortenberry continue his participation in CAE . Magdy F. Iskander Editor In this new column, I will be examining various happenings and trends in engineering education. My purpose is to give you a closer view of what underlies some of these issues and events. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Magdy Iskander for providing this forum. Norman L. Fortenberry

The resonant sonic drilling method offers unique capabilities to the environmental restoration market. By using a drill head that imparts high-frequency, high-force vibrations into a steel drill pipe, continuous, relatively undisturbed cores can be taken through virtually any formation. The resonant sonic method requires no mud, air, water, or other circulating medium for penetration;drills very fast;easily drills at any angle through formations such as rock, clay, sand, boulders, permafrost, or glacial till;and yields no cuttings in the drilling process. Case histories of projects using the method demonstrate excellent results but also indicate several problem areas with the method in its present state. Expanding research efforts to further develop the resonant sonic drilling method should help solve current drawbacks, and could produce a drilling technology for environmental work that significantly changes the way monitoring wells are drilled and constructed.

The problem of sequencing units on a mixed-model assembly line can be viewed with several objectives in mind. Past research has focused mainly on two separate performance measures: (1) minimizing the length of the line (which is equivalent to minimizing the risk of stopping the conveyor when system variability is present and the station lengths are fixed);or (2) maintaining a rate of assembly equal to the demand rate for each model type in the production schedule. The latter is the more appropriate in a just-in-time environment. We present a bicriteria formulation of the problem that can be used to examine the tradeoffs between line length and parts usage. The resultant model takes the form of a mixed integer nonlinear program and is solved with a combination of heuristics and branch and bound. Results are reported for a wide range of problem sizes, as defined by the number of stations on the line, the number of different model types, and the total number of units to be assembled. In almost all cases, at least one of the heuristics found either the optimum or the best available solution. Computation times were quite reasonable for the heuristics, but grew exponentially for branch and bound. In general, it was only possible to verify optimality on problems with less-than-or-equal-to 20 units.
