implemented in a middle school classroom in order to focus onproblem solving. On-campus recruitment events offer more freedom in determining activityoutcomes and are typically more broadly focused on introducing students to engineeringdisciplines and careers. It is important that each event is aimed at the prescribed goals.The location and time frame of the event are important to consider for logistical purposes.Consider the amount of mess an activity will produce as well as the space and setup requirementswhen matching it with the appropriate facility.[5] These factors are also important to considerwhen determining the time requirements for a project, including setup and cleanup. The timingof an activity is a very delicate balance. It is important

changingconditions, and made decisions informed by constraints. Particularly, we sought to identifylearning frameworks that fit the data well and would help us improve the design and assessmentof the activity in later iterations. We found that the learning frameworks of metacognition anddiscrepancy resolution combined to explain most student activity relative to our learningobjectives, and these frameworks suggest several points of improvement for the design andassessment of the simulation game.IntroductionResearch shows a disconnect between academia and industry in terms of engineering educationand practice (Johri & Olds, 2011). In particular, early career engineers believe that “engineeringwork is much more variable and complex than most engineering

the history of engineering education.” Actions toattract and train technically active mid-career professionals as ABET evaluators would takelonger. The Participation Project and its successor, Partnership to Advance VolunteerExcellence (PAVE) continued the collaboration between member societies, volunteers, andheadquarters staff to advance ABET’s commitment to continuous quality improvement of itsvolunteer processes beginning in 2003. PAVE led to a program evaluator competency model,new experiential volunteer training, workshops on assessment, and a new volunteer managementtool. Further demonstrating commitment to continuous quality improvement, ABET wasformally recognized as ISO 9001:2008 certified in 2015.Engineering Criteria as a Quality

honestly and fairly (Colby & Sullivan, 2008). As a result,multiple efforts in engineering education are geared towards incorporating ethics concepts inengineering curricula. Some of these efforts are described in the next section. In fact, someauthors suggest that ethics should be made a cornerstone element in engineering education(Moore, 2011). However, this has not been achieved yet and students lack the necessaryexposure during their education to navigate through the ethical conflicts they will face duringtheir careers (Herkert, 2002).This paper contributes to this body of work by blending ethics with traditional optimizationproblems in industrial engineering. The proposed approach enables incorporating ethics withoutincreasing or modifying

Indeed, it is through such introspection that students develop the capabilities thatsecure self-transcendence and generate meaning (Harris, 2015), helping them to form aconception of their future career as IEs.
