An online version of the Situation Analysis is available in the Getting Started area. (customers want better performing products) and for size is -0.7 (customers want smaller products). At the end of Round 1 the center of the Traditional segment will have a performance of 5.7 and a size of 14.3. 5.0 + 0.7 = 5.7 and 15.0 - 0.7 = 14.3 Table 2 displays the segment center locations at the end of each round. Print the Perceptual Map Form in the Industry Conditions Report then use Table 2 to find the location of each segment center for Rounds 1 through 8. Mark the approximate locations on the form (see the example in Figure 1). Remember, the locations in Table 2 are the centers of the segment circles, not product positions. Product positions are reported on page 4 of The Capstone Courier. The exercises require two reports: The Industry Conditions Report and The Capstone Courier, which are available from the website’s Reports link. The Courier is also available from the Capstone Spreadsheet’s Reports menu bar. The Courier available at the start of Round 1 displays the results for Round 0, when all companies are equal.

...Engineering Capstone Senior Design Course Ken Christensen[1], Dewey Rundus1, and Zornitza Genova Prodanoff1 1 2 Abstract A capstone design course is an important component of the senior year curriculum for engineering students and plays a key role in achieving departmental ABET EC 2000 outcomes. In the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida, we have partnered with industry to have students work in teams on industry-contributed “real world” projects. Industry partners contribute projects, mentor students, give a guest lecture, and provide the opportunity for students to present their project at the industry site. Students work on projects in teams and are given milestones and schedules to follow. The milestones include formal requirements, specifications and design, prototype demonstration, test plan, and final project delivery and presentation. The final presentation includes a project demonstration, user documentation, press release, and a poster that is permanently displayed in the department seminar room. The course includes formal lecture and reading assignments on the development process. A midterm exam covers these topics. Soft topics include discussions on working in teams. Our industry partners stress the importance of students being able to work well in teams. We hope that our experience can serve as a guide for other engineering departments considering industry partnering for their capstone design courses...

...CPA Mock Evaluation CFE, Day 1-individual certification related to Capstone 1 Case Page 1 Cap 1 Background Information Mission is the same: Arndt Industries Ltd. (AI) is committed to manufacturing innovative, quality products Under the current company structure, each company acts as its own investment centre (lots of independence to operate). All divisions (except Engineered Products) and corporate continue to be managed by family members. Some shareholders wanted to sell shares within the family. As well there was an openness to the idea of private equity or IPO. (Catherine’s comment in the Board Meeting) A formal succession plan was deemed important. The corporate office must approve all external financing (i.e. borrowing outside the operating lines of credit). Additionally, under current policy, capital investments over $1.5 million must be purchased with long-term debt rather than by using the operating line of credit and must be approved by the corporate office. The bank is willing to provide up to $50 million at an annual rate of 7.5%, to be repaid monthly over a period of 15–25 years, as long as the following conditions are met: 1. A minimum return on assets of 10% (calculated using after-tax income and total assets); 2. A maximum ratio of debt to tangible net worth of 2:1; and 3. A minimum current ratio of 1.5:1. Any long-term loans for expansion must be renegotiated every five years. Due to a long standing relationship with the bank and a history...
