the mind. All five dimensions were addressedin unison. Classes were held in a wireless mobile classroom and students were providednotebook computers with the Discourse software to create an interactive learning environment.Though it is not the focus of this paper, it should be noted that approaches not focusing solely onmathematics to retain freshman engineering students appear in the research literature. Forexample, the previously mentioned integrated curricula, computer programming, and learningcommunities are strategies in and of themselves. Examples of other approaches involve designefforts, projects, and teams17; time management and study skills18; hands-on laboratoryactivities19; robotics20; collaboration with senior-level engineering

Fortunately, IET and IEare adaptable degrees. The tools and techniques taught IETs and IEs focus onproductivity, costs, quality, and safety. Can you think of any organization, anywhere inthe world, that wouldn’t want to improve in these
outcome items (c) and (h) in mind. Next, we will describethe outcome assessment process for these two outcome items. This is followed by areview of the outcome assessment results and improvement efforts. Finally, we makeconcluding remarks and comment on future endeavors.2. IE 441: the Capstone Design CourseThe Capstone Design course is typically taken by students in their last year (i.e., within asemester or two before graduation). The course specifically focuses on the “practice” offour components: engineering, communications, professionalism, and the application ofrealistic constraints to tangible solution sets.The class objectives for IE 441, as stated in the syllabus, are to “obtain practice incomprehensive engineering and communication

While each participant has his or her own task, to satisfy the customer requirements, theparticipants must work together as a team keeping in mind the big picture. Teamwork andcommunication skills are thus essential to the successful completion of the entire production. In a traditional physical simulation, the four students must sit in the same room andcomplete the production together. The simulations are part of an industrial engineering course

Most UPRM students completed two terms inthe REU program, one in the summer and the other one either in the spring or fall semester.Students from US-based institutions completed only the summer term in the program, which isstrictly the term of the REU program on which we are focusing in this work. Nonetheless, bothlocal students and students from US-based institutions were sponsored to present their researchprojects at conferences such as the Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference(ISERC), INFORMS Annual Meeting, and Great Minds in STEM.
