Practice to sustain andgrow the practice of operations research across the supply chain of a largecompany.The development and deployment of the program was co-created by a core teamof senior managers from the company and faculty from a US university. The coreteam identified the audience and established outcomes for the executiveeducation program. The curriculum was developed following “ADDIE”, aninstructional design methodology. The program evolved into three modules witha combination of on-line, on-site, synchronous and asynchronous modes ofdelivery. The assessment of learning and application was carried out withassignments and action learning projects with real-life problems, evaluated usingrubrics aligned to the program outcomes by a panel of

the explanations and example problems used in the textbook.IntroductionEngineering programs in Canada and the United states have similar accreditation processes andcriteria [1], [2]. ABET accredits programs in the United States while the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB) accredits programs in Canada. In each system, the ability of astudent to consider the constraints of economics and incorporate economics into engineeringdesigns, projects and considerations is a requirement. As such, engineering programs must offerEngineering Economics in their programs and often fulfill this requirement with a coursededicated to this topic though it could be fulfilled in other courses such as design courses.As part an internal improvement study

for discussion prompts. The discussion prompts promoted repetition inlearning in that they allowed students to apply practical understanding for the second time. Toincrease a sense of community, discussion groups were limited to 30 students, which resulted in atotal of four discussion groups. In addition, in preparation for the team-based project (4 studentsper team), one person from each time was assigned to each discussion group. This modifiedapproach to the Jigsaw method [48] allowed students to gain a more wholistic perspective (of theentire class) in preparation for the team-based project.Third, this module culminated with a final team-based project. This final module project promotedrepetition in learning in that it allowed students to

was converted to a flipped classroom environment for half of the course material. The mainobjective of this research pilot project is to investigate the impact of video length and videoactivities on the retention and understanding of Gen-Z engineering students for a software-basedsimulation course. Results show that students are more likely to watch medium-length videos thanshort-length videos, but those who do watch short-length videos have better learning outcomes.KeywordsGeneration Z, flipped classroom, engineering education, video length1. IntroductionThe engineering students today are from Generation Z, the cohort of individuals born from 1996-2010 [1]. They are high-efficiency multi-taskers with 8-second attention spans, typically

apositive impact on the students’ motivation, engineering identity, and knowledge gain over thelong run and when used across the curriculum. Moreover, IE instructors interested in providingan immersive and integrative learning experience to their students could leverage the VRlearning modules developed for this project.1. IntroductionLike the majority of engineering curricula, the structure of the Industrial Engineering (IE)curriculum consists of a set of courses that are ordered in a sequence such that later courses buildupon the knowledge learned in the earlier courses, with each course usually being taught by adifferent instructor 1. This traditional course-centric curriculum structure has limited ability toestablish the connection between
