Understandings of the nature of science and decision making on science and technology based issues

Creator:: Bell, Randy Lee
Abstract:: Current reforms emphasize the development of scientific literacy as the principal goal of science education. The nature of science is considered a critical component of scientific literacy and is assumed to be an important factor in decision making on science and technology based issues. However, little research exists that delineates...

An Engineering Decision Support System (EDSS) with alternative-criterion pair evaluations

Creator:: Herling, Derald E.
Abstract:: An Engineering Decision Support System, EDSS, was developed using Bayesian mathematics which incorporates knowledge and confidence components observed in alternative-criterion pair decision making. The separation of knowledge and confidence has been previously unaccounted for in decision-making methods. EDSS provides decision support to individuals or teams which must make choices between...

Just enough die-level functional test : optimizing IC test via machine learning and decision theory

Creator:: Fountain, Tony R.
Abstract:: This research explores the hypothesis that methods from decision theory and machine learning can be combined to provide practical solutions to current manufacturing control problems. This hypothesis is explored by developing an integrated approach to solving one manufacturing problem - the optimization of die-level functional test. An integrated circuit (IC)...

Predisposing attributes affecting locational preferences upon retirement : a prospective view

Creator:: Mileham, Colleen K.
Abstract:: This research investigated the relationship of predisposing attributes of preretirees to the perceived importance of locational preferences during the first ten years of retirement. Multiple regression analyses and a Chi-square test were used to determine if seven predisposing attributes were related to ten locational preferences. Data were analyzed from a...

Knowledge-based decision model construction for hierarchical diagnosis and repair

Creator:: Yuan, Soe-Tsyr
Abstract:: Knowledge-Based Model Construction (KBMC) has generated a lot of attention due to its importance as a technique for generating probabilistic or decision-theoretic models whose range of applicability in AI has been vastly increased. However, no one has tried to analyze the essential issues in KBMC, to determine if there exists...

Relationship of pauses to problem solving events in mechanical design protocols

Creator:: Chamberlin, Martha J.
Abstract:: This thesis compares two methods for studying the problem-solving processes of mechanical design engineers. The first method, verbal protocol analysis, was applied by L. Stauffer to construct a problem-solving model of mechanical design. The second method, timing analysis, measures the time intervals separating drawing or speaking actions during the design...

The career decision making of individuals with mild developmental disabilities

Creator:: Thyfault, Alberta J.
Abstract:: Individuals with mild developmental disabilities have traditionally been excluded from full participation in their career decision making due to the stereotyping of their perceived incompetence. This view forms a mind-set or stigma that is recognized as the disability myth. This study initially addressed the vocational development of individuals with mild...

Influence strategies used during work and family decisions : their connection to decision and marital satisfaction

Creator:: Leier, Elaine M.
Abstract:: Changes in work and family roles as more women are entering the work force prompt a re-examination of how couples make work and family decisions. Research confirms that influence is an important component of the decision-making process. Because of the recent changes in women's paid work roles, women may now...
