This course is taken in either the fourth or fifth year (many students takefive years to complete the program as many complete a co-op). The course covers the designand control of different manufacturing systems with a focus on automated systems. Labs consistof programming the control of a variety of automated systems. Category 0

We found that the learning frameworks of metacognition anddiscrepancy resolution combined to explain most student activity relative to our learningobjectives, and these frameworks suggest several points of improvement for the design andassessment of the simulation game.IntroductionResearch shows a disconnect between academia and industry in terms of engineering educationand practice (Johri & Olds, 2011).

introductory IE course. Because lean thinking plays such a centralrole in many organizations today, we believed IE students should be given a holistic view of leanprinciples early in their academic careers. Another benefit is that management majors andengineers in other disciplines, who may take only one operations-focused course, can then alsohave exposure to these ideas.When companies embrace a lean philosophy, they generally train employees in lean principlesand associated tactics, often using classroom instruction supplemented with hands-on applica-tions, plant floor exercises, and live simulations. We adopted one of these simulations at Site 1,called Time WiseTM and developed by Time Wise Management Systems for use in corporatetraining (http

. The class also forces the students to work as a team on something that they could nothave possibly done alone at this stage in their career with the timeframe provided. The studentsare not only forced to propose complex modeling solutions to difficult supply chain problems;they are responsible for implementing the solutions that they propose. Throughout the semester,there is extensive interaction about the pros and cons of proposed solutions, whether or not thosesolutions will be efficient, and whether or not those solutions will be meaningful to a potentialuser of the system. Because these are the types of decisions that the students will be making intheir future work, the class prepares students to address those issues

real-world problems that are interdisciplinary in nature typicallyhave limited exposure, at an early undergraduate level, to tools and methods that are available forrigorously and systematically examining these challenges. The development of analytical skillsfor addressing such problems has been primarily offered in graduation education. However,undergraduate engineering students are increasingly interested in working on contemporarychallenges earlier in their careers. Students entering engineering programs today are more awareand better equipped for conducting sophisticated analysis due to their access to information,knowledge and tools that previously were not available to prior generations.

Poly is given every quarter to students finishing their senior project.The exam for each major is typically offered as three different versions each drawing over 50questions from the ever-expanding bank of test questions that cover virtually all of the programoutcome areas and skills. Students are not advised to prepare for the exam, but they are notifiedthat a portion (usually 10%) of their senior project grade will be affected by their performance onthe exam. Thereby, skipping the exam or purposefully answering incorrectly (e.g., to get finishedsooner) is discouraged. Since the content tested typically spans their educational career, a score of50% or better is considered minimally acceptable from a program assessment point of view. Such

From the long-run perspective of a student’s career, it is essential that the student recognize that the life of most buzzwords is limited and that it is more important to understand the underlying principle rather than the latest buzzword. Without this, the student may not be able to adapt to the new buzzwords of every generation. 3. Buzzwords that confuse students because of similarity with a buzzword of a similar meaning that was in use only a few years back should not be used. In other words, only

Some of these efforts are described in the next section. In fact, someauthors suggest that ethics should be made a cornerstone element in engineering education(Moore, 2011). However, this has not been achieved yet and students lack the necessaryexposure during their education to navigate through the ethical conflicts they will face duringtheir careers (Herkert, 2002).This paper contributes to this body of work by blending ethics with traditional optimizationproblems in industrial engineering.
