Purdue West Lafayette faculty and Purdue North Centralfaculty joined the effort in Fall 2005.Use of IE techniques in healthcareNoted pioneer of IE techniques, Frank B. Gilbreth, realized the beneficial application ofthe IE profession in the healthcare arena in the early 1900’s. He witnessed hundreds ofsurgical operations and began intensive studies with hospitals in 1910 including workwith the Mayo Clinic. One of his most noted improvements resulting from these studieswas the now common practice of doctors, as they perform an operation, to extend theirhand and

This is usually achieved throughstructured laboratory-based courses and project-based learning courses throughout theircurriculum. In the EET program at Kennesaw State University, the Capstone Design courseexperience was offered through a menu of project-based senior design courses that students gotto choose from based on their specific electrical areas of interest. This served the program wellfor several years but did not always offer the students a uniform design experience as thatdepended on the instructor(s) teaching those classes in a given semester. As a result, the EETfaculty concluded that in order to offer a more uniform experience to each cohort of students, itwas best
