Therefore, technology is integral to how it is selected and prioritized to support the company strategic objective. The information characteristics for strategic decisions are ad hoc, forward looking, external and wide scoped. In addition, new technology is filled with uncertainties. Operations managers at lower levels make day-to-day decisions that are structured, information is easily available, inward looking and certain. However, from time to time the operations managers, who usually have to make structured decisions, have to make unstructured technology decisions or recommendations to senior management about the technology. If a decision-making process guideline is available to be utilized during technology rollout decisions, which are unstructured in nature, it will provide decision makers at operational management level with a structure and aid them to make decisions that are effective. This study made use of two cases studies within one organization to determine how previous technology decisions were made and what factors were taken into account. Based on the literature review and case study findings, a guideline for unstructured technology decision making was derived.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130691754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One critical skill requiring subjective (qualitative) learning involves navigating through varying soft and hard tissues by hand, and, most importantly, understanding how medical instruments respond under these conditions. During residency, students learn the specific methods of the teaching surgeons, using specific instruments chosen by both the administrators of the residency programs and medical staff. The availability of practice time is limited not by the interest of the resident, but due to limitations in resources (e.g. high cost of cadaver parts, program insurance, and available contact time with patients in the operating room). By using data extraction during training, teaching surgeons can determine how well participants learn a subjective skill. Without data extraction, residents lack quantifiable numbers to guide them. Such values would verify correct techniques and highlight areas for improvement. In the end, the effectiveness of surgical training, mastery of soft skills, and overall surgical experience directly helps or harms patient outcomes [1]. We intend to coordinate with research scientists to develop Internet of Things (IoT) solutions incorporating existing data for training and real-time feedback. This data, which pertains to bicortical drilling conditions, will provide teaching surgeons and their surgical residents evaluation tools beyond those currently available.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125877945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, plenty of research conclusions show that, viewed the situation as a whole, the construction activity does not bring positive externality of industries, economies of scale and scope, and realize increasing returns. The reason lies in the shortage of theoretical directions in the constructive activities and the improper methods. The formation of an innovation cluster is a process of evolution under the dual-mechanism of market and regulation, and the premise is the interactive and cooperative behaviors and various positive feedback behavior mechanisms brought by multiple subjects in the aggregate based on complementarity of resources and drive by various positive externalities. First of all, a related theory system is concluded through carding. And then, on the basis of obtaining several empirical research results in combination with the proven effectiveness of relevant theories, the author has provided the rational logic for the government-led innovation resource allocation in the process of constructing innovation clusters.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128349925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Systems Engineering Capability Model (SECM) is used to determine how good systems engineering methods and processes are performed implicitly and explicitly as well as indicating the gaps. This study focuses on the systems engineering methods currently being used within one of the engineering business unit at a research council. Gaps between the current practices in competency areas are identified for consideration of possible interventions. Qualitative method where empirical data was collected through interviews and transcribed, is processed with an appropriate qualitative tool. This research shows that the Integrative Competency Area (ICA) knows the processes and use them well. In the Technical Competency Areas (TCA) some people use it implicitly, while others do not know about it. There is a general request for making processes, templates more readily available for people to use inside the organization. This research shows the gaps that can be addressed through the designing of training programs within the organization. This research could be extended to study other areas within the science council as well as other organizations.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"123 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133711497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
