-negligible. In fact, even with the best process improvement design, the solution may radically fail if not organically adopted by the people using or contributing to the process. Yet, students consider implementation and adoption to be seamless. Therefore, a realistic solution of this type will always factor in the effects of implementation and adoption to holistically measure the actual improvement that the solution could attain. For example, instead of describing the effectiveness of a solution as a comparison between the future state and the current state, a realistic solution describes at least the deployment plan, incorporating assumptions

This course introduces students to statistical techniques used in thedesign, control, and improvement of quality. In particular, our research focused on two moduleswithin the course: Modeling Process Quality and Interpreting Process Quality. These modulesare a review of students’ prior statistics courses with focus on how these concepts are applicableto quality control.The topics discussed in Modeling

The“four pillars of manufacturing knowledge” was developed and is maintained by the Society forManufacturing Engineers15. The paper presented in 2014 mentions that the four pillars arenovel; thus, there has been little use of them to evaluate the existing curricula of universitycourses. The paper identifies various engineering programs in Michigan with mechanicalengineering degrees or

After further consideration, an experimental independent study format wasspecified, and an Industry Partner was identified. John Deere Waterloo Works, Waterloo, Iowa,agreed to plan a Kaizen event within one of their component assembly departments that wouldcoincide with the timing of the experimental course. While the location was a ‘local’ one, thefact that John Deere’s customers and suppliers are global was not insignificant. Four studentswould participate in the Kaizen event as full-fledged members.

Although same questions are commonly used in pre- and post- test method, thefact that the students in Group 2 has seen the exam questions before during Post-lab exam mayhad lead to improvement due to the familiarity with the exam questions, rather than due to theexperiences of the multimodal lab. One plan to address this problem is to use essay questionsrather than calculation questions

Economies of scale, scope and skills appearto be wiped out by what Jagersma refers to as “economies of complexity [3].” Increasing complexity has resulted in risks being more prevalent. However, sincecomplexity is a new norm and requires new perspectives, engineering managers today are notfully prepared to manage the risks that arise as a result of these complexities. Managingcomplexity and the risks associated with it currently represents an unclear territory for businessesglobally [4].

A primary use of these funds is to provide supplemental support in the form ofacademic scholarships to defray the expenses of Industrial Engineering undergraduate studentswho wish to study abroad. The department wishes for as many students as possible to participatein a study abroad experience, and in its five-year strategic plan, calls for a goal of at least 25% ofour students to graduate with a global studies experience.

While their expertise was in computer science and industrialengineering, they are required to solve problems that arise due to lack of a systemsapproach in understanding how the factory works and how costs are incurred because ofmyopic planning.

It is notedthat the idea of sustainability is consistent with this fundamental approach and perspective toproblem solving. Sustainability also requires that an engineer (or designer of a product, process, Page 15.729.5or system) view their problem as part of a bigger system. The introduction of Life CycleAnalysis as a tool for examining the supply chain from raw material extraction through the endof life of a product may introduce the idea of sustainability to this course.
