A proposed PBL method using two cycles of plan-do-study-act (PDSA) coupled withdesign of experiments will be tested as

, capacity planning, supply chain,inventory management, forecasting, operations planning and scheduling, and resource planningetc., which are all closely related with the daily operations of enterprises. However, due to lackof experiences in business operations, most of the students feel the course difficult to learn. Thetraditional teacher-oriented teaching method, in which the teacher explains the textbook contentsto students, makes students lose interests and confidence. An online Operations Managementcourse in which the students and instructor have limited/no face-to-face communications is evenmore challenging.How to stimulate students’ enthusiasm and critical thinking, and increase students' engagementin and out of classroom is crucial for

customer to encourage innovation, unlike industry-based research orientedinstitutions. The researchers proposed that a consumer pull for better teaching and learning couldmake a difference to encourage research oriented universities to reform their curriculums [8]. Another article presented a model for re-engineering an undergraduate industrialengineering curriculum. The model used a five phase approach which included planning andassessment, identification of emerging topics, curriculum redesign, recruitment strategies, and ameasurement and continuous improvement plan. A voice of customer (VoC), including bothindustry and academics, was used to identify emerging topics and desired characteristics forindustrial engineering graduates. The

rates are69% and 48%, respectively (Snyder & Cudney, 2018).Colleges and universities collect considerable student data. However, their ability to process theavailable information does not occur at the same pace as the collection (Morris, 2016).Therefore, effort needs to be made on making the data useful to improve student retention. Forinstance, by determining the factors that influence student retention and completion rates, it ispossible to improve the intentional student advising, planning, and development of retentionstrategies based on student needs (Slim et al., 2005).In recent years machine learning techniques have been applied to process educational data,which aligns with the focus on improving the processing of information

chain to work together efficiently is a much more complex problem than I initially thought”. From the responses the authors can conclude that development of communication skillswas the most frequent response. Students recognized the importance of communication at theworkplace, as well as acknowledged that their communication skills improved as a result of theirparticipation in the course project. Observations of the in-class project meetings and out of class meetings of the teams’leaders revealed that students took their roles seriously and played the simulated company as ifthey were real employees. Besides the required documents (communication plan, memorandums,letters) they prepared and used additional documents to

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face. Interestingly, at an early age, primaryschool children
