processes.B. Curriculum RequirementsThe standard requires a balance between qualitative and quantitative concepts with therequirement of at least one third of the courses being qualitative management related material.Curricular requirements thus focus on the management side of engineering management. Muchof engineering management is conceptually qualitative. Quantitative concepts are required to tiethe discipline to the field of engineering. Thus, there is a requirement for both types of concepts.Hick’s (1999) study found that qualitative concepts were the most likely to be missing. Thisstandard ensures that the program is, in fact, an engineering management program. The centralfocus must be on management in some context, at some level.The remainder

They chose the third formof scaffolding approach, and the results showed that scaffolding (and the other methods theystudied) have an effect on student performance in the class currently taken and in the followingclasses. One of the recommendations of the study was to encourage faculty to use scaffolding intheir classroom instruction. Girgis used scaffolding for teaching the techniques of problemsolving to underrepresented minority students. 9 Using the second approach, he conducted a one-week case study in three sessions with increasing complexity, and structured guidancethroughout the sessions.

The contextualinterplay in which we apply our theoretical lenses is directly related to types of practice andinnovation to emerge [25, 26]. Further, integrating our context of practice and theoretical basis atthe outset supports the decision-making processes of individuals working in the field [5, 26].Thus, this section begins by illustrating the use of each of our four lenses in the context ofengineering education.

Finally, to provide a context for constructing case study learning activities,we define a structured case study model grounded in the key frameworks of sustainability,safety and risk management.Historically, engineering leadership curricula tend

SE focuses on the development life-cycle from an operational andmathematical perspective with heavy emphasis on decision analysis, structured problem solvingapproaches, and the interaction/integration of systems. In contrast, an EM program focuses onmanaging SE efforts and engineering relationships with the rest of the organization.

SE is a central theme in several of the top undergraduateprograms in Engineering Management. Three other undergraduate ABET accredited EMprograms (University of Arizona, University to Missouri at Rolla and Stevens Institute ofTechnology) are integrated with departments that have large SE or Industrial Engineeringprograms.4 Many other non-ABET accredited EM or hybrids of EM programs co-exist in SEdepartments. This phenomenon also occurs at the graduate level at many universities andhappens by design. This strongly indicates that an understanding of SE principles is critical tothe success

specializations in educational curricula. There are two primary reasons why engineering management should be included as part of asystems engineering curriculum. The first is that, as noted above, the design and engineering ofsystems is itself a systems process and is therefore embodied as a system. As INCOSE’sstatement was quoted above, it is a blending “of appropriate technologies and managementprinciples in a synergistic manner”. The second reason, perhaps less compelling but none the lessas valid, is that some systems, especially those complex systems of systems, tend to requirehuman involvement and decision making and in some cases management – not necessarily themanagement of just an engineering process, but the management of technology: its

However, the 2011-12EAC accreditation cycle documentation does not list any actual verbiage that proposes adefinition beyond the general criteria for all engineering programs. The definition of “systemsengineering” espoused in this paper is an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to designthat integrates various engineering specialties into the goal of realizing complex products orprocesses. However, whatever the formal definition, all would agree that a systems engineeringapproach is valuable for all practicing engineers to appreciate.This paper describes the introduction of the concepts of systems engineering to students in amechanical engineering junior-level required thermo/fluids course through the

We undertake a study of concepts that can be taught via PBL,along with an analysis of courses and topics in the industrial engineering (IE) curriculum suitablefor PBL. While in the traditional deductive style of teaching, one usually starts with explanationof principles followed by examples, PBL is primarily characterized by providing examples firstand then generalizing to the underlying principles. A great deal of literature cites evidence ofPBL being more effective than deductive learning. However, PBL also provides numerouschallenges to the instructor – especially to

Consequently, it is safeto expect that similar problems will occur when graduates join the workforce, contributing to theindustry problems mentioned in Section 2.

This paperhighlights the integration of ethics into an existing, traditional industrial engineeringundergraduate course at the senior level. In particular, we show how traditional optimizationassignments can be reformulated to blend mathematics and ethics. Therefore, we do not followthe path of developing an independent, elective course that focuses on ethical issues.Furthermore, integration of ethics is not performed through case studies on which students canreflect on their own experiences. Instead, we embed ethical issues in traditional industrialengineering knowledge. In this way, ethical conflicts reveal themselves
