These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a process…in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs.”These are courses beyond the basic math and sciences; in an engineering management programexamples of these could be Statics, Materials Science, or Project Management.AACSB accredits institutions that offer degree-granting programs in business or

The conclusion is that the project description needsto be improved so that students have adequate guidance to provide the desired solution.Examining the results of the student survey, it is apparent that the students view the laboratory ashelpful. Most reported it increased their understanding and confidence in their ability to develop,implement and evaluate control charts for variables. Students also indicated that the laboratoryshould be used for future classes.Future ResearchThere is still much work left to finalize this laboratory. The most pressing need is to improve theproject description regarding benchmarks for production and quality.

For real problems, structure must be created. Thisinvolves clarifying more than the type of information typically given in traditional textbookproblems. The current conditions and knowledge, the new knowledge needed, the resourcesneeded, the solution method, and the nature of the terminal state must all be defined and clarified.The process may not be orderly all the way through a project, but when the time allotted is almostover, a successful project must produce something that can be clearly displayed
