The implementation was not only successful but exceeded theprofessional competencies. In addition, the QFD technique ensured that the curriculum is agileand flexible to meet future real-world changes [9] [10].Based on the literature review and the research in this area our team decided to use QFDtechnique in the design and development of an existing associate degree in engineering atDaytona State College (DSC) to meet industry workforce needs and professional competencies[11].Curriculum Design and DevelopmentTo identify the gap between industry and academia and to create the best set of educational andprofessional development materials

In some cases,a course in simulation or facility layout may be the “project course”, while in other institutions aseparate one or two semester course may be devoted to the capstone project. One of the constantconsiderations in all industry-based capstone projects is the need for the project team to clearlycommunicate their results to the client in writing and orally. A team may have a good solution tothe client’s problem, but the quality of the written and oral presentations to the client may lackthe professionalism that is required to convince the client of its validity.

Today, mostcompanies sell their products in different global markets and this requires consideration ofcustomer needs and ergonomics of users from these different markets. Moreover, productdesigners should consider ergonomics to enhance sustainability and maintainability of products.Recent advancements in computer technology in the last two decades have contributed to thedevelopment of computer simulations for ergonomics. Such simulations are known as DigitalHuman Modeling (DHM) and are used to assess the performance of human operators in theworkplace. DHM can also be integrated with Computer Aided Design (CAD) to evaluate theergonomics of product designs.2. Related LiteratureIn the

an initial investigation of the impact the ConnectedLearning and Integrated Course Knowledge (CLICK) approach has had on students’ motivation,engineering identity, and learning outcomes. CLICK is an approach that leverages VirtualReality (VR) technology to provide an integrative learning experience in the IndustrialEngineering (IE) curriculum. To achieve this integration, the approach aims to leverage VRlearning modules to simulate a variety of systems. The VR learning modules offer an immersiveexperience and provide the context for real-life applications. The virtual simulated systemrepresents a theme to transfer the system concepts and knowledge across multiple IE courses aswell as connect the experience with real-world applications. The

To Rogers, experiential learning is equivalent topersonal change and growth and affirms that learning is facilitated when: (1) the studentparticipates completely in the learning process and has control over its nature and direction, (2) itis primarily based upon direct confrontation with practical, social, personal or research problems,and (3) self-evaluation is the principal method of assessing progress or success1. David Kolb(1939) described experiential learning as an integrative process of concrete experience, reflectiveobservation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. In summary, Experientiallearning theory defines learning as "the process whereby knowledge is created through thetransformation of experience

The National Institute of Standard and Technology(NIST) defines smart manufacturing as “fully-integrated, collaborative manufacturing systemsthat respond in real time to meet changing demands and conditions in the factory, in the supplynetwork, and in customer needs” [6]. In other words, IIoT uses a collaborative network ofdevices or things to collect sensory data about and from the various workings within an industrymanufacturing facility; and then relays this information to other things to be used. This processcan be used to help automate systems or software based on specific conditions that need to bemet, or to present verbose, real-time, up-to-date information to a user that can monitor it andmake better, more informed decisions.IIoT
