An In-Depth Look at Career Paths

Construction Management students are faced with a decision once they graduate college and start moving up in the work force. They must decide what career path they want to pursue, and they typically have very little information about each position to make their decision. Their information on the career paths typically comes from professor’s experiences, internships, and family experiences. The goal of this Senior Project was to allow for an unbiased look at each different career path, breaking it up into Project Managers, Superintendents, and Estimating/BIM Managers. The survey was focused on work-life balance, hours per week, and time spent in office versus the field. The results of the survey showed that there was not much difference between the three different positions. The biggest difference between positions was the amount of time spent in the office versus the field. As expected, Superintendents spend the majority of their time in the field, while Project Managers and Estimating/BIM Managers spend the majority of their time in the office. Due to there being little difference in these categories, the biggest factor a student should consider when deciding what career path to follow should be the responsibilities that each position is responsible for

A study of conformation and the correlation of parts in ears of maize

Approved, M. MillerTypescriptIncludes 23 leaves of chartsM.A. University of Missouri 1912Volume upon volume has been written and page after page of statistical material has been compiled in regard to the yield of corn, the various varieties, the many soil requirements and the fertilizing problems. Notwithstanding all this vast amount of data and all of this work that has been done, we find but comparatively little in regard to the individual ear and its various characteristics. Not only was it decided to study the various ear characters in regard to their effect upon the shelling percent, but several other problems were included. The investigations carried on in the study of this problem may be said to cover six lines of investigation as well as various closely associated considerations. These main lines of investigations include the relation existing between: I. Ear character and shelling percent. II. Kernel character and shelling percent. III. Cob character and shelling percent. IV. Ear character and rapidity of curing. V. Kernel character and rapidity of curing. VI. Cob character and rapidity of curing. Of course, these various subjects serve but to indicate the line of work as the characters crossed and interlaced so completely that the actual data secured in pursuance of the investigational work was greatly increased

Nuclear Enterprise Performance Measurement

The criticality of the United States Air Force nuclear enterprise demands that commanders have the best possible understanding of system performance, both in the aggregate and at the drill-down levels sufficient to make timely corrective actions when warranted. We model a strategy-linked measurement system for nuclear enterprise sustainment. We propose a new Aggregation h method for aggregating performance metrics using United States Air Force approved or adapted metrics that possess the capability to weight metrics, as well as compare performance between organizations and within the same organization over time. We demonstrate our method with generated performance data designed to test the sensitivity of our method. Our Aggregation h method provides a simple, intuitive measurement approach that enables unity of effort and influences behavior at each hierarchical level towards achieving strategic goals, and is extendable to performance measurement for other complex sustainment systems

An Investigation of First Grade Children\u27s Use of Language Structure

One of the more fascinating aspects of pre-school children\u27s verbal language seems to be their uncanny ability to speak in complete sentences. From the time children put two words together meaning fully, they speak in sentences. By the time they arrive in first grade they use simple, compound, and complex sentences. Children can also supply nouns for subjects, verbs for predicates, nouns for objects, and the like

The applicability of a general relational database management system for developing an automated library system : a preliminary investigation

An automated library system should be capable of providing at least all of the information and capabilities of existing manual catalogs. In addition, an automated system must provide the capability of manipulating that information to produce varying types of reports and statistics. This paper briefly: - describes historical representations of bibliographic data in western civilization, - gives an overview of the general concept of relational databases, - discusses the major elements of the MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging) communications format as implemented by OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), - comments on descriptive cataloging requirements of an automated system, and - covers a preliminary investigation of the possibility of applying a general relational data base management system to the development of an automated library system. In particular, the applicability of using Informix-SQL to develop an online public access catalog (OPAC) is considered
