Methods Engineering & IE 478 Facilities Planning. IE 316 introduces participants tomethods engineering and work measurement fostering the development of critical thinking, self-assessment, and team work; IE 478 trains the students in the art and science of facility design andplanning. Rounding-up the curriculum of these classes, this educational experience complementsthe student’s professional profile by adding the necessary cultural competency required toproduce a global engineer. The model consists of five components: identification and selection ofindustry partners and potential projects; attendance to in-class mini-lectures & assignment ofpertinent readings supporting the selected project; student’s training previous to

within the limitations of existing degree programs and theaccreditation requirements of ABET?Two years ago, the Industrial Engineering faculty at Montana State University undertook a majorproject to revamp and update their curriculum and attempt to answer these questions. The resultsof the project represented a major curriculum revision, with nearly 30% of the course credits inthe curriculum undergoing some level of change. The cornerstone of these updates sought toincrease flexibility in the program through introduction of cognate electives. Cognate is definedas of the same or similar nature. In that vein, this new program allows for students to build theirown customized concentration using a free-form series of elective courses. The cognate

, is the Introduction to Operations Management course. The Introduction toOperations Management course provides an overview of the functional activities necessary forthe creation and delivery of goods and services. The goal of the course is to give the students abasic understanding of operations management and an appreciation for the many roles anoperations manager can play in an organization. Specific attention is paid to how an operationsmanager impacts strategic and operational decisions across a variety of functional areas in anorganization. Topics covered include: productivity; strategy in a global business environment;project management; quality management; location and layout strategies; human resourcesmanagement; supply chain and

lower grades was the lower performanceon in-class exercises in 2013 than on homework in 2012. Higher homework scores and higherweights combined to raise course grades. There were some other factors that affected the grades,though.Three of the nine seniors in 2013 received Cs or Ds in the class. These were all students who putin little effort in the class. Their attention was focused on other classes including their capstonedesign project. There were also three academic integrity violations during the semester. Thosestudents received Ds or Fs.
