, strategies, and projects to support the aforementioned items. In classwe look at the strategic plans of a couple of organizations and then for a homework assignment,the students select a company of interest (for profit or non-profit, big or small, domestic orinternational, etc.) and study its strategic plan. As an extension to this exercise, students arechallenged to reflect upon how strategic planning is critical for themself personally. Thismaterial is rooted in the work of Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.3 Specifically,students are asked to develop a personal mission statement and a five-year strategic plan. Theirstrategic plan must contain not only career-based objectives and goals, but also personal-basedobjectives and goals

Ideally, these courses prepare students for follow-on courses and future IndustrialEngineering (IE) jobs.The IE programs at Northeastern University (NU) and Montana State University (MSU) haverecently developed introductory courses to attract students to the IE major, expose them to thebreadth of the field, and prepare them for future coursework. The instructors of these courses(and authors of this paper) independently developed hands-on and other interactive activities tointroduce core IE topics. It is well documented that active learning techniques enhance learningand the student

.ConclusionsThis project, a part of a graduate course, applied classic manufacturing work improvement toolsin a non-manufacturing environment. The STEPS program is a noble approach to motivateyoung girls toward a science and technology career. Because the technical experience of thecamp is centered on the plane building activities, it is immensely important that this experiencebe enjoyable and educational to its participants. This project has deployed classic techniques toanalyze the camp’s existing activities and processes and has thereby developed a morestreamlined, efficient way of accomplishing the same intended goals. Moreover, this project hascreated an incidental and advantageous learning opportunity for the girls. The participants areexposed to

Personal effectiveness skills will be developed throughan understanding of the concepts of professionalism, business and cultural etiquette, andother related topics [4].”The capstone class is a critical step in the professional career of the students. It is duringthis particular semester that they are given the opportunity to make the transition fromacademia to industry, and they are asked to demonstrate their ability to tackle open-endeddesign problems. The course is treated like a job, the students are treated as engineers,and the instructor is their supervisor. During the first day of the semester, teams of threeor four students are self-selected, taken through team-building activities, and then askedto rank-order their top six projects from
