corresponding author’s institution. A survey is conducted to investigate theimpacts of learning module on the learning effectiveness. It was found that application of project-based learning in Simulation modeling course has a positive impact on learning effectiveness. Thecourse learning outcomes are studied in advance and the term project activity learning outcomesare designed to strongly support the course learning outcomes. The advantages of PjBL approachproposed is that such an experiential education module could provide more practical understandingto students, and ability to connect the theory with the application. Moreover, students take theinitiative to learn how to seek information in a real system, define a problem, conduct a systemanalysis

knowledge aboutstudent choices regarding graduate school. We considered these things when making ourdecisions about which faculty to approach, which course to try, and what the research curriculummight look like for integration of undergraduate research experiences as part of a pilot program.Applied Ergonomics and Work Design (IE271) is a second-year, required, introductory humanfactors course that covers the basic concepts of ergonomics and work design impact. It is threecredits, taught in two sections during the spring semester, by two industrial engineering facultymembers. Both faculty members are highly involved in research, and both emphasize the samefundamental concepts and content in their sections. Historically, both faculty members

This paper addresses the research question, do solutions in SDP incorporate aspects ofauthentic engineering? We performed a qualitative analysis of 52 SPD’s in industrial engineeringin 4 different institutions. We used the results to derive a set of guidelines that could be useful toredefine the rubric for evaluating SDP’s.Background This section will draw from the existing literature in order to frame our approach to dataanalysis and provide background to understand Senior Design Projects. Ill-defined Problems. Problems that

years planned forimplementation.Summary and Future WorkThis paper has presented a large undertaking by The Pennsylvania State University Harold andInge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) to design, developand implement a product-based learning pedagogy that bundles goods and services for anintegrated context rich industrial engineering curriculum. Significant progress has been made,including the implementation of new methods in several courses. An engaged and growing teamof faculty, graduate and undergraduate research students continues to learn and grow, with inputand guidance from a center for excellence in engineering education.A growing number of courses and faculty are being on-boarded due in large part to
