withmanufacturing practices, it is important to utilize a variety of specialized tools to implementproduct designs. However, the ability of institutions to meet these goals in fiscally austere timesis proving to be difficult for all but those with the financial resources to acquire costly industrialgrade equipment.In order for manufacturing and vocational programs to survive, they must adapt and becomecost conscious. And, when cost-saving measures are necessary, it is important to ensure that theprogram will still satisfactorily prepare students to enter the job-market as qualified workers.While it may not be necessary for graduates in some program areas like engineering todemonstrate proficiency in the use of specialized manufacturing equipment, it is

One way we can achieve that exposure is through partnerships withnonUS institutions.Conclusions and future researchWhile we all often lament the lack of recognition for industrial engineering in the US,this review clearly shows the situation could be worse – and could be better. Perhaps thesituation is improving in the US. Price13 states that industrial engineering accounted for14% of all engineering jobs in the US in 2000, growing from only 8.9% in 1990.While we cannot support the statement with numbers, we found that the phrase“production

The IEDepartment is leading an effort to ensure that all of its graduates have an internationalexperience.Discussion amongst the IE faculty at Pitt regarding implementing the international requirementhas been ongoing for well over two years. We wanted to go beyond simply requiring students totake international or global coursework. We believe that the best way to ensure that ourgraduates are prepared for the global market, have a basic understanding of global and culturalissues, and can utilize this understanding in an engineering context is to require an internationaltravel experience. However, there were clearly some serious issues and obstacles to considerbefore proceeding with such a requirement.A survey

Therefore, it is important for analysts to have the ability to communicate the results ofan analysis in a way that can influence decisions. However, this is the portion of training thatsome analysts, like LaBarr[3] and Starbuck [10], think needs additional attention and training foryoung statisticians. Nonetheless, the best communication in the world will not help if thesenovices do not understand the basic theories and methodology behind the analysis; therefore allskills should be developed and practiced simultaneously throughout the

This will ensure that the implemented activity hasthe greatest impact.h. Assessing the outcomeAfter the activity has been tested, think critically about what pieces were successful and whichpieces failed. Did students all struggle with one segment of the project? Could better materialshave been provided? Did you have way too much or way too little of any supplies? How did it fitwithin the time frame? How did the wrap-up discussion go? Did the students meet yourexpectations? Ask other staff and even the participants for their perspectives and feedback on theactivity. Facilitators can design a formal assessment

The discovery approach used by the author tries to buildon these principles to establish an innovative instructional design by marrying content withpresentation style in theory as well as in practice. Utilizing real-world problems as a stimulus forstudent learning is not at all new and has been in practice for a very long time. Educators haveunderstood that scholars have defined problem-based learning as minds-on, hands-on, focused,experiential learning. Instructors have also been encouraged to act as cognitive coaches who cannurture an environment that can support open inquiry. The author was inspired by the uniqueideas presented by these scholars and researchers. He has tried to build on such intelligent ideasto

. 4 Practice HW #2 covered Inventory Management concepts. This HW was designed to give the students an idea of how they should be thinking in terms of inventory for the large-scale operation. When they originally baked cookies in the pilot kitchen, the instructor had planned for all the necessary raw materials of 1 batch of cookies to be in front of them (not measured). After that, the students had to think about the material requirements planning for baking approximately 1,200 cookies in a day. The instructor gave an approximation of some costs and her thought process, using the eggs needed for the recipe as an example. The students had to determine the need per day, the need per year, the order size, and the floor

We willalso examine some commonly used websites to determine how important the knowledgeof buzzwords is for potential employers of industrial engineering graduates. Finally, wewill attempt to determine whether buzzwords confuse students or help them gain a clearvision of industrial engineering. Based on our analysis, we will formulate our ownrecommendations for use of buzzwords in industrial engineering curriculum. While wehave used the word “buzzword” we realize that this word has emotive overtones, and wecontinue to search for a replacement.IntroductionBuzzwords or buzz phrases within the scientific and management community can beloosely defined
