Concepts that distracted students from the capstoneexperience were removed, and new concepts are being added where appropriate, such as the riskmanagement module discussed above. The authors hope that the lessons learned will benefitother engineering programs that leverage SE principles as they seek an appropriate level of SEeducation in their disciplines.Bibliography1.

The next five projects followedthe DMAIC process, and the final project requires a report on the overall process. In eachproject, the students applied the DMAIC principles toward achieving their goal, learning thelanguage and function of Six Sigma as they progress [18]. By applying DMAIC, students wereable to achieve their goals and familiarize themselves with the system.The problems associated with change management is challenging in higher education due to thenature of the environment that promotes academic freedom.

Individuals were identified for the survey by workingwith Career Services and the Alumni Offices’ databases. Additionally, Six Sigma agents whowere not captured using the Institutional databases received a personal communication from theauthor.With the target population identified, each potential participant received an email invitationrequesting their participation in the study.

Carolina, in the southeast US,continues to bring high-tech companies to the region, and these companies attract engineers andscientists who are looking for advanced degrees, and means of supplementing and advancingtheir careers. Too, these companies are looking for skill providers to offer degree programs fortheir employers. These factors combine to put NC State in a great position to attract students toan EM curriculum.Mission: The addition of an EM Program is consistent with the current College of Engineering(COE) Mission and effectively stands as an example of this pursuit. Contributing to the long-term goal of remaining a leading public college of engineering, an EM program at NCSU willenhance the breadth of offerings, thereby aligning the COE

Engineers of the 21stcentury must understand globalization and sustainability to be professionally successful in thedomestic and international dimensions of their careers.2 Galloway goes on to say that suchrequirements demand that engineering education be reformed to include lifelong learning, ethicsand sustainability; while continuing to teach the core undergraduate curriculum. Interestingly,results from the Peterson and Humble 2007 study of 28 graduate programs in EngineeringManagement, places Environmental Policy and Sustainable Development at the bottom of lists ofcourses taught ranked in order of importance.3 This gap certainly creates a challenge foreducators at institutions of higher learning teaching in Engineering Management

honestly and fairly (Colby & Sullivan, 2008). As a result,multiple efforts in engineering education are geared towards incorporating ethics concepts inengineering curricula. Some of these efforts are described in the next section. In fact, someauthors suggest that ethics should be made a cornerstone element in engineering education(Moore, 2011). However, this has not been achieved yet and students lack the necessaryexposure during their education to navigate through the ethical conflicts they will face duringtheir careers (Herkert, 2002).This paper contributes to this body of work by blending ethics with traditional optimizationproblems in industrial engineering. The proposed approach enables incorporating ethics withoutincreasing or modifying
