the basis of an integrated curriculum. • From a learning perspective, the framework will help the students to develop a coherent view of the subject area, and better understand how the multitude of individual concepts and techniques fits into the overall picture - what functions and analytical techniques are involved, where they belong and how they should be applied in a practical situation. Page 12.396.13Therefore, the approach provides a rational foundation of the subject area and, in the long-term,help to establish Healthcare Systems Engineering as a scientific discipline.Currently in the University of Missouri

A new course, IME540 Environmentally Conscious Designand Manufacturing, will be offered for both undergraduates and graduate students as anengineering elective across all disciplines in the university and will reside within theIndustrial & Manufacturing Engineering Department. In an attempt to reach as manystudents as possible, the course is being offered with minimal prerequisites and will beteam-taught by faculty from various disciplines including Business, Liberal Studies,Mechanical Engineering and Chemistry.The multidisciplinary faculty group will have completed two offerings of IME540 as asenior engineering elective course by the time this paper is presented at

Thedecision to rejuvenate the curriculum in the (GE255) Survey of Machine Tool Applicationscourse was not taken lightly. The objectives and outcomes of the project were scrupulouslyreviewed as part of a larger picture of curriculum redesign prior to the ABET/TAC application.

varies from institution to institution. In some cases,a course in simulation or facility layout may be the “project course”, while in other institutions aseparate one or two semester course may be devoted to the capstone project. One of the constantconsiderations in all industry-based capstone projects is the need for the project team to clearlycommunicate their results to the client in writing and orally. A team may have a good solution tothe client’s problem, but the quality of the written and oral presentations to the client may lackthe professionalism that is required to convince the client of its validity. This paper presents anapproach to improving oral communication skills using an evaluation tool that identifiespotential areas for

The ABET program criteria2 forindustrial engineering state only that “The program must demonstrate that graduates have the ability to design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. The program must include in-depth instruction to accomplish the integration of systems using appropriate analytical
