of Science in Industrial Technology(BSIT) degree program significantly reduced the learning curve in creating the BSIE 2+2 onlineoffering. Previously establishing the BSIT degree online trained the faculty in online teaching.While INEN 4315 Industrial Management is the only required course that is shared coursebetween the BSIT and BSIE programs, some undergraduate electives including Supply ChainManagement, Six Sigma, Lean and Engineering Management are offered online to support bothprograms. Online offerings from the College of Business provide additional electives in ERPusing SAP and Project Management with Primavera. Campus wide, at least 3 online electives areoffered each term including summer. Our senior design is a two course

responsiveness of the curriculum to the technological changes. The dataare generally gathered from students, alumni, and industry stakeholders. Additional data fromonline sources has not been fully exploited by industrial engineering educators. As we haveobserved in recent years, the use of massive online data has improved the decision makingaccuracy of many companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and Google. We believethat using online data such as industrial engineering related job posting data would also improvethe efficiency of the industrial engineering curriculum design and review process.This paper presents the use of the job posting data in industrial engineering curriculum designand review process. We illustrate how the user-based

for thisstudy. About 58% of the students were enrolled in the Industrial Engineering TechnologyDepartment. The remainder of the students were either Mechanical Engineering Technology(MCT) or Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology (ECT) majors. Industrial andEnvironmental Safety is taught as an elective course in the Industrial Engineering TechnologyDepartment. The main objectives of the class were for students to be able to identify unsafeconditions, be familiar with pertinent OSHA regulations and understand how to manage safetyissues.In two different exams, students were allowed to prepare a one-page cheat sheet on an A4 paper.Hand or type-written cheat-sheets was not enforced: students were allowed to choose betweenthe two.

a method of teaching that integrates community service into an academiccourse through applied learning to enrich the educational experience of students and meet theneeds of the community. In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities. Through theprojects, students gained a deeper understand of the course content, as well as

Learning to Teach Office Ergonomics in the Undergraduate Classroom  AbstractKnowledge of contemporary issues is an important component of every industrial engineeringundergraduate student’s curriculum. As professors in Industrial Engineering, it is our duty tocontinually update our courses to meet the changing needs of our students. The traditional topicsof an industrial engineer have historically focused on the manufacturing and product industry.Specifically in the area of workplace design, the legacy workplace was impacted by theindustrial revolution and corresponding tools for improvement in productivity. However, theknowledge economy and the explosion of information technology have changed the

(e.g.independence, expectation, variance), identify and analyze discrete and continuous randomvariables, and formulate and conduct statistical analyses of observed data.One key innovation that we implemented is the introduction of real-world data-driven casestudies. We wish to expose our students to engineering problems that will help them relate thematerial taught in class with their own major. The primary enabling technology is statisticalprogramming with Python. The case studies are introduced as group assignments and aremotivated in class or discussion sessions. Students select their own groups and in the end of eachcase study, they do a peer-evaluation in order to assess the degree of in-group collaboration. Inthis way, students build valuable

hasbegun promoting a strong culture of Active Cooperative Learning (ACL). ABET, theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, has recommended this pedagogicalapproach as a method because focusing students on real-world problems can increase theirmotivation. 4 By using the live case study approach in this class, the traditional student group,expanded to include the mentor, can work together to synthesize their understanding of theapplication, through the question and answer process. The students can reinforce the conceptswith each other through the process of writing reflective papers on how their mentor companyapplies the techniques. Finally, the objective of this method is pulled together by the NationalAcademy of Engineering report
