Global Supply Chain Project Abstract In this paper, we describe a learning improvement initiative centered on a productionsystems course project. This initiative addresses strategic production planning of ahypothetical global supply chain with contemporary environmental and energy consequences.The quantitative problems of this project are to be formulated and solved by student teamswhere each team member assumes a unique position of responsibility. They are: domestic andoff-shore plant managers, a logistic manager, and an environment and energy manager. Givenspecific responsibilities for each managerial position, in solving a series of quantitativeproblems where the leadership of each project team

to work in teams to solve two different projects.The first project was mainly related to life cycle assessment (LCA) in which students were askedto perform an LCA for a particular product and provide an analysis of their results. The secondproject involved a presentation to expand one of the main modules of the class. Finally, thecourse was evaluated using student questionnaires and exit interviews. Moreover, one additionalsurvey was sent to the students six months after they took the class to collect data and assessstudent learning.1. IntroductionGiven the finite capacity of the earth, it is recognized that engineers of the future must be trainedto make decisions in such a way that our environment is preserved, social justice is promoted

of a set of structured activities to help increase education and research inrenewable energy systems.For the education component, a systems approach for curriculum development is used. The newcurriculum on Energy Sustainability provides an overview of the major energy flows and theissues associated with production and end-use. Major current sources of energy include fossilfuel, hydroelectric, nuclear power, and wind energy. In the research component, a Pair-2-learn(PAL) model is used to form teams of undergraduate and graduate students to work in specificresearch projects. In the outreach component, different lesson plans are developed for highschool teachers participating in the UTeach Miners program. The products provided under

area ofcompetence for many engineering undergraduate, as well as graduate, disciplines is theapplication of structured problem solving methods, e.g., lean, to improve the performance oforganizational processes.This virtual learning environment will enhance undergraduate engineering education by utilizingtechnology as a learning tool in lean, by fostering student development through active learning inthe classroom, and through projects based on current real-world challenges, thus improvingstudent learning, motivation, and retention. The paper highlights the learning modules to bedeveloped in the virtual learning environment. The long-term goal is to evaluate the impact ofthe curriculum changes on student learning, outreach, and industrial

The results also havemajor implications for lifelong learning for engineers and are compatible with the teachings ofothers such as Taylor, Deming, Senge, and a study by Ernst & Young.The objectives of this paper are to:1. Share executive survey results and findings2. Demonstrate that the spectrum of leadership can be modeled by Hayes’ ―Six Stages of Quality System Implementation‖ and parallel versions of it3. Demonstrate how the Six Stages of Quality System Implementation were used to redesign courses in the industrial and manufacturing engineering curriculum to strategically integrate lean, six sigma, statistical quality control, and quality tools.4.
