Application of industrial engineering methods to the analysis of engineering student retention at a case study university
Mason, Cindi R. (Wichita State University, 2018-05)The issue of engineering student attrition may be perceived as a daunting and overwhelming obstacle to overcome. Hundreds of studies have been conducted in an attempt to better understand the various aspects of the engineering ... -
Committee neural network force prediction model in milling of fiber reinforced polymers
Kalla, Devi Kiran (Wichita State University, 2008-08)Increasingly, fiber reinforced polymers are being used in aerospace, naval, and automotive industries due to their high specific strength and high stiffness. Some of the damage problems encountered during machining these ... -
End-of-life analysis of advanced materials
Asmatulu, Eylem (Wichita State University, 2013-05)This dissertation has four major objectives: the first three ones are focused on the EOL of the advanced materials, while the fourth objective concerns the economic and environmental impacts of recycling aircraft materials. ... -
Energy analysis of manufacturing equipment in a production setting
Corcoran, Samantha L. (Wichita State University, 2010-08)Manufacturers are increasingly looking at ways to reduce operating costs through energy savings. While research has been done to identify energy usage throughout a facility--such as lighting, computers, heating and ... -
Industrial facility nonprocess energy life cycle information
Bawaneh, Khaled (Wichita State University, 2011-12)In this study, published information on nonprocess energy use, which includes lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, humidity control, and particulate control, for industrial buildings has been analyzed and compiled and ... -
Large-scale online environmental mapping: from theory to implementation
Rabanimotlagh, Ahmad (Wichita State University, 2017-12)Within the context of environmental studies, environmental mapping addresses the monitoring and analysis of physical processes appearing in the nature, such as atmospheric or oceanic transformations. In such studies, ... -
Life cycle and energy analysis of products and hospital systems
Alshqaqeeq, Fadhel Y. (Wichita State University, 2017-12)There is a relationship between the healthcare sector and treatment of the patient in the delivery of service. During the process of this relationship, waste and CO2 are generated, which increases over time. Compared to ... -
A macro level environmental performance comparison: dry machining process vs wet machining process
Lodhia, Prashant (2007-05)The metal cutting process, known as conventional machining process, utilizes cutting fluids to provide lubrication, cooling and easy chip removal. The long-term effects of cutting fluids disposal into the environment are ... -
New chapter in healthcare environmental impact reduction through medical treatment choices: The case of diagnostic imaging services
Esmaeili, Mohammad Amin (Wichita State University, 2016-05)The relationship between hospital practices to deliver quality patient care and the impact on the environment (public health) are clearly evolving. Reducing the carbon footprint of the healthcare sector can be achieved by ... -
A sequential Bayesian cumulative conformance control chart for high yield processes
Toubia, Gracia J. (Wichita State University, 2009-05)For mass production, the traditional approach of drawing the confidence limits was satisfactory when many bad units were being produced; however, the same approach becomes ineffective for high yield processes, when the ... -
The intersection of energy, healthcare and climate
Rabanimotlagh, Ahmad (Wichita State University, 2015-05)The reduction of energy use in hospitals as energy intensive units is critical to the overall goals of lowering the cost of healthcare and emissions from those facilities. Hence, the assessment and identification of key ...
