project preparation course, and a capstone course in quality. The results also havemajor implications for lifelong learning for engineers and are compatible with the teachings ofothers such as Taylor, Deming, Senge, and a study by Ernst & Young.The objectives of this paper are to:1. Share executive survey results and findings2. Demonstrate that the spectrum of leadership can be modeled by Hayes’ ―Six Stages of Quality System Implementation‖ and parallel versions of it3. Demonstrate how the Six Stages of Quality System Implementation were used to redesign courses in the industrial and manufacturing engineering curriculum to strategically integrate lean, six sigma, statistical quality control, and quality tools.4. Show that there is

improve the process. An example of the cases is not provided here due tospace limitations. Page 13.737.8IE/IET faculty are aware of the need to cover service industry applications in theircourses. As previous investigations show (Summers, 2006), these efforts are usuallydependent on the individual faculty member and are not necessarily seen curriculum-wide. At the University of Dayton, our goal is to integrate service industry activities andexamples across the curriculum. From the very beginning of this project the approachwas as integrated as possible. Since the cases were developed for use in a wide variety ofclasses by a single faculty member, care was

the undergraduate engineering curriculum, including which programs tend todiscuss ethics, where it falls in the curriculum, and how much attention it receives [38]–[40].This inconsistency in quantity and quality of engineering ethics education across engineeringprograms is problematic given the importance of ethical conduct as professionals. It is alsopredictable, however, given the generality of the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) student learning outcome (outcome four) associated with ethics: studentsshould have “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineeringsituations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineeringsolutions in global, economic

Ethical Tools for Sustainability EngineeringAbstractEngineers are increasingly being asked to design products and process that reduce the overallimpact society has on the environment as more people realize the rising need to developsustainable resources and to be responsible when using existing resources. In order to adequatelyprepare students to enter this ever increasing demand for sustainable engineering, students needto have an understanding of the technical needs of society as well as the human component indesign, be it the use of local resources, the lack of surplus

a method of teaching that integrates community service into an academiccourse through applied learning to enrich the educational experience of students and meet theneeds of the community. In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities. Through theprojects, students gained a deeper understand of the course content, as well as

An extension of this work is the current effort that established the UTPA Rapid Response Manufactur- ing Center in a consortium of academic institutions, economic development corporations, industry, local, state, and federal governments. This initiative is an integral component of the North American Advanced Manufacturing and Research Initiative (NAAMREI).

This is re-iterated in the presentation slide as: “We haveshared context.” In other words, we are on this project management journey together.This brief introduction is followed by a ten-minute mini-lecture that shares fundamental projectmanagement concepts utilizing the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK, an ANSIstandard)[6].

’),could encourage them to view IE as an approachable field.Reflections from the IISE definition - IISE defines Industrial and Systems Engineering as “Adiscipline concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems ofpeople, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge andskill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methodsof engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtainedfrom such systems.” Per this definition of IE, this activity addresses the idea of designing asystem consisting of materials and people, improving the system to make it more efficient, andincorporating methods of engineering
