Multi-objective Resilience Optimization of Interdependent Critical Infrastructure Networks

Creator:: Tiong, Achara
Abstract:: Critical Infrastructures (CIs) such as energy, water supply, telecommunications, and transportation are highly vulnerable to cascading failures due to their interdependent operations. A resilient network is crucial to withstand the impact of functionality loss in disruptive events. This research evaluates network expansion as a proactive resilience strategy in which new...

Incidental Sensor Networks for Human Mobility Detection

Creator:: Hoover, Sylvan
Abstract:: Transportation systems need to get better by moving ever more people while consuming ever fewer resources. To build better transportation systems, planners need an accurate understanding of how people exercise mobility and tools to apply that understanding to the transportation system. Such an understanding can come through the development of...

Integrated Manufacturing Process and System Analysis to Assist Sustainable Product Design

Creator:: Raoufi, Kamyar
Abstract:: Product development in the 21st century requires integrating sustainability performance evaluation with product design and manufacturing activities. A variety of factors, including climate change, public awareness, and increasingly strict regulations have compelled companies to design and manufacture more sustainable products. While the design phase typically accounts for only 5-7% of...

The effects of disruption propagation and mitigation strategies on a distribution supply chain system

Creator:: Hsu, Samantha
Abstract:: Supply chain disruptions and their propagating effects often result in negative impacts on supply chain performance, reduced profit, and an overall decrease in supply chain health. To mitigate these risks, it is important to understand the behavior of specific disruptions and to identify mitigation strategies that would be the most...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Evaluating the Effect of Emotions on Student Learning using Prescriptive and Open-ended Lab Activities for a Lean Manufacturing Engineering Course

Creator:: Perez, Maritza
Abstract:: Research has shown that emotional connections during lab activities increase learning in chemistry and physics courses. However, little research has examined the effects of emotion in engineering courses, and these studies have recognized a dearth of research examining the ability of students to apply engineering concepts in real-world applications based...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Developing a should-cost model to predict display pricing in smartphones

Creator:: Parameshwaran Kashi, Viswanath
Abstract:: Companies working on new product development of smartphones seek to adopt designs and methodologies to help them stay competitive. Due to its high cost contribution to a smartphone, optimizing display cost is an important part of a smartphone's cost reduction activity. Hence, strategically sourcing displays in the development of smartphones...
