past thirty years, many studies have emphasized the importance of applying ergonomicprinciples to product designs such as designing swimming suits3, non-powered hand tools4,writing instruments for children5, and luggage handles6. Thus, continuously injecting humanfactors and ergonomic (HFE) design concepts in the undergraduate engineering curriculum isimportant. It ensures that students have knowledge of applying HFE principles towards productdesign to minimize potential causes of injury and discomfort for the users7.Studies have noted that product design should address ergonomic considerations that take intoaccount the majority of customers’ capabilities and limitations when using the produce for itsintended purpose8. To discover the

extend them to realworld problems. Since assessment of student development in three of the above four categoriesis not an easy task, the majority of schools[6] that offer OR courses have their main focus on theimplementation of the third item (developing operational skills).Based on that, students learn how to perform the simplex method, its iterations, write the dualproblem, and perform sensitivity analysis with or without the use of software. An instructorspends many hours trying to teach the procedural steps which are tedious, repetitive, and requirecareful attention to the details, but it is easy to learn.The concepts, on the other hand, require a higher learning mechanism and instructorstraditionally find insufficient time for such

and modes of instruction (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and read/write) can make the students to enhance effective learning. True assessment of students learning outcomes: Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, so that they are more likely to develop higher-order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Supportive educational environment: Because of appropriate use of information and communication technologies that have been applied in the program increases the independent learning skills of the students. Students should relevant their studies to professional, disciplinary and/or personal contexts. Demonstrate a repertoire of differentiated instructional

;Felder, Felder, Mauney,Hamrin, & Dietz, 1995)7. Measuring the benefits of teams in a PBL environment is challengingas the instructor is responsible for assessing each student’s performance during the team project.The instructor is also responsible for providing the criteria for which learners will be assessedprior to students being placed in teams. Assessment techniques, such as, peer to peer and selfratings in group settings are known to have little measurement information and poor validity.However, these rating methods can contribute to a learners performance in a team settings (Boud& Feletti, 1998)4.Initially, assessment of work done in IT 214 is done from a purely individualistic standpoint;however, as the semester progresses

age where largeamounts of data are being collected with a growing need for those that can make “data-drivendecisions” [3]. McKinsey Global Institute, a business and economic research firm, claims thatwith the growth of digital data, the United States is going to need an additional 140,000 to190,000 analysts and more than 1.5 million managers capable of performing data analysis [4].Additional calls have been made for more statisticians in the federal system, working in placessuch as the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the United States Census Bureau [5].These pleas are not new, however; even in the early 1980’s authors were writing about the needto make the field of statistics as a separate discipline [6] and recognizing the growing need

It is commonly used in writing andusually given in one the following three forms: 1) breaking up an assignment into smallerassignments, 2) keeping assignment constant but increasing the difficulty of materials, or 3)creating a scaffold within a single assignment. 3 The levels of learning based

no previous programpractice exists. In practice, colleges often look to their accrediting bodies, such as ABET forengineering programs, for guidance on curriculum, which requires external input fromemployers. Engineering programs ask their advisory board or council for input, and also rely ontheir internal panel of faculty experts, as well as exploring practice at peer university programs.Methodology-wise, industrial engineering faculty have used system theory[1], domain analysis[2]and structural models[3] as an aid in curriculum development. Likewise, methods from the qualitymanagement and product development domain, specifically the House of Quality (HOQ) andQuality Function Deployment (QFD), have also been deployed in this particular
