Itwill 1) briefly introduce the longitudinal study, 2) discuss the phase one, stage one onlinesurvey administered to first year engineering students at the University of Arkansas, and3) examine the survey results for those students interested in industrial engineering tohelp provide insight on why students are interested in industrial engineering, the strengthof current and future job opportunities, and how first year engineering students interestedin industrial engineering perceive industrial engineering.BackgroundThere are many papers in the literature addressing a college or pre
in a graduate-level courseproject for several reasons. First, the company is interested in project-based learning experiences.Project-based learning, or PBL, in the classroom is a concept that has been in practice since itsinitial suggestion by John Dewey in 1897 when he promoted “learning by doing”1. For industry,when learning by doing is executed correctly in the classroom, those students who “solveauthentic problems and produce results that matter” are extremely attractive as future hires5.Expectations from competitive companies are such that new hires must be capable of entering awork culture and producing immediately as personnel resources continue to be reduced whileproduction output anticipations are ever on the rise.

Education, 2015 Benchmarking IE Programs: 2005-2015IntroductionAt the 2005 ASEE conference,1 I reported on the 101 ABET accredited industrial engineeringbachelors programs, asking and answering two questions: What do we agree that IE is? What are the unique courses we have in our programs?In this paper, I update the findings of the earlier paper and also describe changes over 10 years. Idid not trace the change or continuity in specific programs, but rather looked for overall trends. Ifound little change in the overall data on industrial engineering curricula, with perhaps a trendaway from required courses to electives in engineering courses outside industrial engineering.The average number of faculty members in an
: Developing a New Degree ProgramAbstractIn this paper, we report on the development of a new industrial engineering program, framing itas a systems engineering process in the context of higher education curriculum development. Thecurriculum is described in detail, and innovative characteristics of the program are discussed.The resulting program is flexible, allowing the pursuit of accelerated graduate programs, asecond major, various minor options, and study-abroad; relevant, tailored to the needs ofindustry partners in the vicinity; and practical, providing hands-on education, resulting inemployment-ready graduates.1. IntroductionCurriculum development and innovation is critical to successful programs in engineering. In thispaper, we describe the
experience tools and ServQual.The proposed Toolkit is developed through the following five stages: 1) collect voice ofcustomer (VOC) and voice of process (VOP); 2) analyze the information; 3) recommendactions; 4) identify and classify projects; 5) prioritize. The recognition phase is based ontwo dimensions: a) service quality; and c) customer experience.The toolkit developed provides a framework that incorporates customer experience tools towiden the application of six sigma in service industries. The framework and toolkit weretested in the International Lean Six Sigma ITESM-BMGI Certification Program. Theresults of its application are presented and discussed and future work is proposed.Keywords: Six Sigma, ServQual, Customer Experience, VOC
wereallowed to complete an alternative assignment; therefore, participants may be labeled a numbergreater than N. The number of students completing each assignment varied and is reported withthe results in the next section. Students were given course credit for a one-minute paper,workshop attendance, one-week post-workshop reflection (Reflection 1), and end-of-semesterreflection (Reflection 2). To improve the level of metacognitive reflection 30, students wereasked to identify a single course during all responses.Prior to the workshop, students identified an IE course as the focus of their reflections.Additionally, each student wrote a one-minute paper responding to the prompt: “What strategiesdo you find successful that you use to study for this

Each week, the students aresubject to (2) 50-minute classroom lectures and (1) 115 minute laboratory experience in TheFactory for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) laboratory at Penn State UniversityPark. The objectives of the course are to introduce industrial engineering students to the theory,principles, mechanisms, and concepts of solidification/ additive manufacturing processes formaterials, emphasizing process selection and the effects of process capabilities and limitation ondesign, costs, and quality. The course includes lectures, laboratories, demonstrations, videos,extension readings, and homework problems. The main course topics covered in the course aremechanical testing and properties, metal casting processes, welding
design experience that requires: 1) to design a product andits production process; 2) to determine the best location for facilities; 3) to design a facilitylayout; 4) to carry out an analysis of capacity.The use of a structured Cooperative Learning (CL) strategy suggests a positive environmentfor the students to help each other to develop the design competence in the Engineeringcurricula. In the past years, the assessment process in the program has allowed to identifynew opportunities to improve the design competence and to close the gap between thefreshman and senior design experiences. For the PSD course, the new lab facilities and thecommitment of the lab instructors from the upcoming courses allow the junior designexperience to be enriched

IntroductionConnecting math and science concepts to real-world applications can help to generate studentinterest in STEM disciplines and careers. There have been significant outreach efforts to engagestudents in STEM-related activities, primarily with the intent of generating interest in STEMfields, but these efforts are not necessarily intended to teach specific K-12 math and scienceconcepts. In this research, we present the design, development, and assessment of a university-led outreach program to address these needs. The presented work is focused on identifying andlinking 5th – 12th grade math
. Page 26.149.3The Lean Enterprise Institute founded by Womack 1 (1997) is aiming at developing educationalmethods and workshops to promote training about lean tools. Nontraditional instructionalmethods such as learning-by-doing methods, active and collaborative learning techniques aregetting more popular in the past few years. This trend is mostly reflected by introducing variousphysical simulation or computer games (gamification) and is growing rapidly due to theirpositive impact on learning process [1, 2]. The literature study illustrates a large pool ofeducational simulation games targeting different lean concepts and principles such as pullproduction, one piece flow, Jidoka, 5S, Poka Yoke and waste elimination.

aspossible while remaining understandable. They must go deep enough into the subject to allowstudents to recognize the ultimate goal of industrial engineering, to increase efficiency, withoutbecoming too technical for a young audience. A practical way to achieve this balance is throughthe modification of successful classroom assignments. This work will discuss several activitiesthat have been successfully used for K-12 student outreach at the University of Arkansas and arebased upon undergraduate class exercises. Each project will be presented in detail along with itscorresponding course assignment in order to motivate the exchange of creative ideas and developa framework for the adaptation of additional outreach activities.1.
