typicalworkplace.This paper demonstrates an office ergonomics productivity evaluation that was incorporated intoan undergraduate ergonomics class as a lab experiment. The experiment integrated a collectionof topics and allowed students to learn in an experiential fashion. The lab experiment coveredworkplace design by comparing three potential computer workstation configurations: thetraditional seated design, a standing design, and a treadmill walk station. The experimentquantified productivity with an input task based on Fitts's Tapping Task, another basic topic ofergonomics curriculum. The data for the experiment followed a factorial experimental designand were analyzed using multiple regression and analysis of variance, thus combining additionaltopics.The

probability and statistics to engineering students arethe theoretical nature of the topic and the disconnection of the material taught with real-worldengineering problems. Although the engineering curriculum in most cases has been updated andexpanded to incorporate group work and project-based learning, most of the mathematicaloriented courses are still taught in a passive manner.Our goal is to enhance students’ critical thinking by integrating case studies to our introductorycourse in probability and statistics. This is typically a sophomore-level core course in theindustrial engineering curriculum. Students who complete this course, should be able tounderstand the role of uncertainty in engineering models, apply critical probability concepts

“Extremely Satisfied”.The factors that were found to be significant through this ordinal logistic regression model werethen implemented into an industrial engineering curriculum classroom. The course was anintroductory course in engineering economics in the Industrial Engineering curriculum. Theinstructor ensured that any quiz or exam was given back within a week of being administered,following the recommendation that frequent and detailed feedback is most effective for students.The instructor also ensured from the first day of class and through reminders that he wasavailable after class and in office hours for any questions or concerns. This allowed students tofeel that if they were struggling with a concept, the teacher was approachable and

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
