The Women's Technology Program (WTP) is a new residential summer school for high school students to live at MIT and study electrical engineering and computer science (EECS). In this thesis I present background research evaluating the state of the current gender imbalance in EECS as well as research describing other initiatives for improvement. I then describe the design and implementation of WTP at a level that it could be replicated by other universities. Finally, I analyze the results of WTP's first year and present suggestions for future development.

As technology and society become further intertwined, it is imperative that we democratize the creation of technology and educate people to be capable of harnessing the full power of computational thinking. As such, developing meaningful tools and curricula for incremental learning of computational thinking concepts starting in primary education is an important endeavor [1]. My work focuses on making Cloud technology, one of the most powerful new computer science concepts, understandable and usable by anyone without the need for extensive computer science training. I used MIT App Inventor, a blocks-based mobile application development tool for teaching computational thinking to young students, as the platform for my research. I developed CloudDB, a set of coding blocks for MIT App Inventor that allows users to store, retrieve, and share various types of data in tag-value pairs on a Redis server for their mobile applications. I created middle and high school level curricula based on CloudDB along with assessment tools to evaluate my materials and the extent to which young students can understand and utilize the concepts around shared data. Finally, I ran one of those workshops with middle school students in the MIT area. My findings indicate that teaching shared data as a core computational thinking concept is entirely feasible to students as young as middle school level. Students are capable of inferring and extrapolating other use cases and potential problems with the Cloud, such as storage limits and security concerns. When given the context of solving a problem in their lives, they are very driven and able to design and create complex independent mobile application projects using MIT App Inventor and CloudDB.

Companies currently utilize a number of different approaches to making decisions around where to locate factories. This thesis analyzes the specific challenges faced by Polaroid Corporation in making site location decisions for its instant film assembly operation. The methodology used to arrive at this specific set of recommendations, however, can be extended for use by any company. Three main approaches are taken for determining the optimal site locations: The first approach involves the development of a simplified cost model. This exposes the current cost competitiveness of the sites under consideration. The sites are also evaluated under a variety of scenarios to determine their performance under future variance in exchange rates. The second analytical method employed is a characteristic matrix. This approach facilitates the inclusion of qualitative factors which may be critical to the performance of the factory. All four of Polaroid's film assembly factories were visited to observe the unique capabilities of the sites. A graphical representation of the sites' proficiency for development activities, low cost manufacturing, and flexible manufacturing is developed. In the final technique, the strategic trends and decisions of the instant film business are examined. The company is in the midst of a radical shift in product strategy. New products are being positioned on the basis of fashion more than performance. This shift has important implications for the demands placed on the manufacturing organization. An integrated set of recommendations is synthesized from the results of the three separate approaches. A shift in plant focus from product and market focus to life cycle focus is suggested. The sites with the capabilities and cost structure for the different life cycle roles are identified.

An optimal coordination between a design team and a manufacturing team is necessary to minimize the overall cost of a project and to remain competitive. The type of coordination can range from one way communication to highly interactive teams. Within the workstation development group at Intel, a dedicated operations team coordinates the activity between the design team and the manufacturing team during a new product introduction. The goal of this thesis is to examine that role with particular attention to understanding the operations staffing level required to support a given development effort. This project analyzed the operations team's implementation of the coordination mechanism and derived a methodology for estimating the appropriate staffing level of the operations team. This methodology combined the experiences of the senior members of the group into a single objective representation. The model found that the project complexity was the primary driver for determining staffing levels. It also found a trend for future projects to be staffed at lower levels than similar past projects. This thesis also presents an academic framework for characterizing the mechanisms used to coordinate activity between a design group and a manufacturing group based on the level of interaction between the two groups. It casts the present activities of the operations group onto this framework to identify potential areas for improvement. Using this framework, we find that the complexity of the project determines not only the operations effort levels required to support a project, but also the type of activity which is optimal for supporting that project. From this we conclude that different projects require different implementations of the product development process.

Manufacturing companies that successfully grow their markets and operations face the challenge coordinating operations to capture the value created by economies of scale. However, sharing best practices across organizations requires diligent coordination between the multiple business units. This research describes and examines a method for coordination and knowledge transfer commonly referred to as Copy Exact. This method, often associated with technology transfer in semiconductor fabrication facilities, can be readily applied to implementation of large-scale information systems. By sharing the collective knowledge and resources of multiple independent groups within a larger organization, the Copy Exact approach can lower total development and implementation costs, accelerate the time required for full solution deployment, and improve likelihood of smooth, trouble-free implementations. However, the close coordination required to execute the Copy Exact approach gives rise to significant coordination costs, and requires careful attention to methods of communication and knowledge sharing applied. Dell Computer Corporation has applied the Copy Exact methodology to implement factory level supply chain integration package across its 12 worldwide manufacturing facilities. The decision to apply Copy Exact during implementation of the DSi2 system at Dell yielded significant benefits for the cost, speed, stability, and sustainability of the project. However, Copy Exact also created challenges of factory specific software customization and of trans-global project support. The nature and significance of these benefits and challenges are detailed and, where possible, quantified in this thesis. Further, tactics useful for maximizing the Copy Exact benefits and managing the challenges are presented. The findings of this research indicate that Copy Exact can be successfully applied to information systems implementations. Dell stands to benefit from further application of Copy Exact to multi-factory projects, and similar manufacturing organizations can learn from Dell's example.
