. While this course uses active learning approaches and team projects, the scope of theircontents distinguish them from similar courses that seek to achieve improved graduation andretention rates. For instance, in this course, soft skills such as technical writing, use of Excel,developing an individual academic plan of study, cooperative education, internships, culturaldiversity, quality, safety, and ethics are covered. Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology. The rationale for this course is toexpose students to these subjects and topics before they enroll in core engineering technologycourses such as applied statics.Assessment of learning:While the author plans to conduct this

Industrial Engineering Technology Curriculum RemappingAbstractIndustrial Engineering Technology curriculum generally provides wide spread knowledge inproblem solving, management of resources, and process planning. This paper remaps a typicalIndustrial Engineering Technology curriculum to align it with the four pillars of manufacturingknowledge (as identified by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers). A case study approach isused to take the courses of an Industrial Engineering Technology program, and develop an as-iscurriculum map. After that, a gap analysis is performed against the four pillars of manufacturingknowledge. The gap analysis is used to suggest modifications to the Industrial EngineeringTechnology curriculum, including addition of

Theory (ELT). Experiential learning was introduced byJohn Dewey in 1938, and later refined by Kurt Lewin and David Kolb. Dewey describedlearning as a process of participating in an activity, reflecting on that experience and later usingthe conclusions when doing other activities.3 Lewin, a social psychologist, believed that thechallenge of modern education was how to implement “concrete experience” based on Dewey’sprocess.4 Kolb unified the process in 1984 as the “Experiential Learning Cycle”, which connectsthe four actions of learning.4 Kolb’s cycle depicts experience explained by reflection, reflectioncreating new concepts, and new concepts used to plan new experiences. He refers to the cycle asconcrete experience (CE), reflective observation

This was to be a very smallpart of the course, roughly one week of material in an eight-week term. From their basiccalculus course, students were expected to have learned how to use tables of derivatives andintegrals to find answers to basic problems. They were also expected to be able to arrange asimple derivative relationship to form an integration problem, such as using a function forvelocity as a function of time to find a relationship between position and time.

But with an application,everything is possible.A number of professional societies were investigated to determine if they offered any grantopportunities that might be applicable. After considerable research a number of suitableprospects were discovered. Then the real work began. Writing the proposal is a very difficult andtime consuming process. The wording must express exactly what activities are planned and howthey will be accomplished. Details had to be included for everything, further complicating theprocess.
