Heads(CIEADH).6Comparison of Two CoursesThe broad comparison of ergonomics classes at the authors’ universities is shown in Table 2.There are many similarities and a few differences. Most of the differences are programmatic,rather than classroom specific.Similarities: University A and University B are similar in that they both require a prerequisitecourse in basic Methods and Standards as well as a basic course in probability and statistics priorto taking Ergonomics. They both have an extensive lab component with written reports used forlearning assessment and incorporate a student project. They both include physical and cognitiveergonomic concepts with a foundation in the PE Exam topics, and they both require studentprojects.Differences: Term

In these activities, studentstypically simulate a process that is poorly structured and performs badly, then use specific leantactics to improve performance, often in multiple improvement rounds. Such simulations areeffective in providing opportunities for practice and decision-making, but are more controlled interms of content and time than projects done at company sites, for example2.

The course expounds on the interconnections between natural resources, energy, supplychains, and consumer demand and our current limitations. In this way, students can connect theirengineering training and skills to the challenges of creating a sustainable infrastructure fortomorrow.During the second portion of the course, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), students learn the theoryof LCA as well as obtain some hands on experience by applying this approach to compare twosimilar products using Gabi software.

Often, these methods are deemed“student centered”, as the mastery of the concepts falls on the students to understand theimportance of the material from the problems or projects.11 Overall, inductive teaching styleshave more student benefits than deductive teaching methods. Inductive teaching methods offermore combinations to reach the learning style needs of the classroom and engage students moreactively in the subject matter.Student Perceptions in the ClassroomSatisfaction, self-efficacy, motivation, and classroom environment are the main factors in

learning methodologies do necessarily require additional work onthe part of students as well as faculty (Barrows, 2000). A pioneer in the area of problem-basedlearning, McMaster University Professor Emeritus, Dr. Donald R. Woods describes acurriculum that is significantly different from the traditional discipline centered curriculum(Woods, 1994). Discovery approach aims to march a step further, when compared with problem-basedlearning. Here the instructor may benefit from the ideas provided by Intel Education.

This study is a prototype for a larger project addressing ERP-baseddecision-making, which involves creating learning modules for a variety of undergraduateengineering and management courses. Each module focuses on a decision-making problem thatis traditionally part of a functional course (e.g., production planning), and presents it in thecontext of a major business process, e.g., product development or supply chain and orderfulfillment. The process focus allows students to explore the impact of their decision on otherparts of the organization as well as its customers, suppliers, and

evaluating the achievement of learning outcomes prior tostudent graduation. Direct measures are those that assess achievement by observation ofperformance rather than by soliciting opinion about the achievement of a particular outcome. Astandardized exam is a good direct measure. Others might include a third party evaluation ofstudent projects or a manager’s assessment of work done on co-op/internship. A standardizedexam may be the most tempting for busy faculty trying to assess their program because it isfairly easy to administer, the results are naturally quantifiable, and the program can more or lessguarantee a consistent rate of response. Such an exam, however, should be evaluated using apsychometric evaluation to study reliability, validity

of abilities required to succeed professionally in theinformation age. The top four of these skills include critical thinking, creative thinking,collaboration, and communication [1]. In a typical engineering education curriculum, criticalthinking is addressed effectively. Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements. Laboratory experiences and project-based coursesemphasize the development of technical communication

A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course.
