It is multidisciplinary, theory-based, hands-on, team implemented, outcome assessed, and based on product realization.” – IGVC website6.The competition consists of having vehicles run autonomously though an obstacle course. Sincethe vehicles must run with no human intervention, they require the use of technology such asvision and range finders to allow them to “see” and navigate through its environment. GlobalPositioning Systems (GPS) allows them to navigate to pre-specified way points. The use of othersensors such as touch, directional, speed etc. is also needed.

to stay abreast with the continual shifts inindustrial engineering practices, techniques, and applications. The breadth of theindustrial engineering profession uniquely lends itself to a curriculum that offers moreflexibility and choices to its students, as the new curriculum proposal offers. In addition,the additional emphasis on emerging fields within the service sector and in theinformation technology field will make our curriculum more appealing to potentialstudents, and will enrich the education that Penn State IME students receive”.This paper describes the curriculum and its objectives.Basic approaches to curriculum change• Integrate other applications areas (e.g., service processes) into existing courses.• Reorganize required

American Society for Engineering Education’s Prism [3] magazine provides further evidenceof this trend. Most companies and organizations no longer conduct business from a regional oreven U.S. perspective, but rather from a global perspective. Because the IE field traverses boththe engineering and business world, it is particularly important that IE curricula provide studentswith this advantage.A challenge facing engineering educators is how best to take advantage of the global, flattened,technology-enabled playing field to improve engineering education, and as Friedman, and othershave proposed, enable the U.S. to retain its lead in innovation and university education andresearch. Further, to meet and exceed accreditation requirements, it is
