professional goals.8 As a result of this initiative, engineeringfaculty recognized the value of portfolios for assessing student skills. In this application,portfolio development was initially used as the basis of a term-long capstone project in the majorbefore the concept was moved to become a sophomore level course. The components of anindividual portfolio included a biography, statement of employment objectives, downloadablerésumé, summary of technical skills, and documentation of projects that demonstrated theapplication of technical skills (and explanations of how the project demonstrates proficiency inspecific skills). In addition to helping students compete for jobs, university-archived electronicportfolios were also proposed by Jwaifell as a

programs are non-thesis Masters Programs, with only a few requiring a capstone project. Although not conclusivefrom this data we can see that in general, the graduate degree programs offered in logistics &transportation have a heavy focus on workplace readiness by encouraging interaction withrelevant corporations and by helping working professionals to further advance their careers in thelogistics & transportation fields.IntroductionUS domination in manufacturing in the 1980s were declining steadily until recently due to themass outsourcing of US products and services to overseas countries (see figure 1). On the otherhand the logistics transportation sector is booming in the US (see table 1) [1]. Even though massoutsourcing is blamed for

assistant professor of mechanical engineering, was promoted to associate professor in 1983, and to full professor in 1990. He founded and directed the computer-aided design labs in the mechanical engineering and mechanics department from 1980 to 2001. From 1996 to the present, he has directed the university’s Integrated Product Development (IPD) capstone program (www.lehigh.edu/ipd). The IPD and TE program bring together students from all three undergraduate colleges to work in multidisciplinary teams on industry-sponsored product development projects and student–led start-ups. In 2006, Prof. Ochs received the Olympus Innovation Award for his work in technical entrepreneurship through the IPD pro- gram. In 2012, the

, blogs, wikis, etc.).Our department offers Master of Science degree programs in both Engineering Management andManagement Science. Each program of study consists of 36 semester hours and includes aculminating capstone experience. The Probability & Statistics for Engineers course, in additionto being a core requirement for each degree program, serves as either a pre- or co-requisite formany other courses in our program. Additionally, the course fulfills a math or technical electivefor other majors in the School of Engineering. Currently, The Probability & Statistics forEngineers course is offered three times per year (fall, spring, and summer) in a traditionalclassroom setting. Fall and spring terms consist of 16-week semesters while the
