suggest a need to market to IE students differently?Data is collected from more than 1,500 undergraduate industrial engineering and businessstudents throughout the state of Georgia. Analysis is presented for various demographics,including gender, age, and ethnicity.IntroductionLogistics is an important and growing field. In 2014, total US logistics costs were $1.45trillion, which represents 8.3% of GDP [1]. However, there is a need for more college studentsto choose careers in this field. Traditionally fed from business and industrial engineeringprograms, logistics faces a current shortage of students entering the field. The Georgia Centerof Innovation for Logistics reports that there was a gap of more than 270,000 logistics relatedjob openings

Sample Student Work from Community Partner #4Student FeedbackAt the end of each semester, students complete a survey about their service-learning experience.The survey included both Likert scaled and open-ended questions. The survey contained fivesections: demographics, career and personal, community engagement, ergonomics and service-learning, and open-ended questions.For the fall 2015 semester, 44 students participated in the survey, and 41 complete surveys werereturned. Of the 41 participants, 73.17% (n=30) were male and 26.83% (n=11) were female.Regarding classification, 68.29% were junior standing (n=28) and 31.71% (n=13) were seniorstanding.

satisfies a statisticsrequirement in the Agricultural Engineering and Mechanical Engineering curricula. Hence, thevariety of technical background of the students taking the course leads to wide range ofexpectations of the course by students. Furthermore, this IE course will be the only directexposure to probability in some students’ coursework, while others will rely on it to preparethem for more advanced coursework on these topics (e.g., design of experiments, simulation,stochastic processes). Hence, it must serve both as a terminal course that prepares students fortheir careers after graduation, as well as an introductory course that provides a foundation forfuture academic study including related sequenced courses in other engineering
