market.Employers and recruiting firms will be able to remain competitive in the job market.I. IntroductionProblem DescriptionSince 1950, the demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)occupations have been growing rapidly. The skills required for each occupation are changing.The main objective of this paper is to introduce a tool called Skill Miner System (SMS) that isused to produce a snapshot of what Industrial Engineering’s in-demand skills look like. SMSmay also be used to track the trends of these skills. SMS will benefit various stakeholders, suchas universities, students, employers and recruiting firms. The authors show the application ofSMS at The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and present the easy adaptation to

During the time we were defining and refining our project on Product-basedLearning (spring semester of 2017, prior to official launching), one of the professors in the teamtried some of the elements of it in this senior-elective/graduate-level course. The course had anenrollment of fifty-eight (58) students consisting of roughly equal undergraduates and mastersstudents. The class was divided into 15 teams of 3 to 4 students each. As an instructor, “bundlinggoods and services” was a new topic both from a curriculum and pedagogical
