. Page 26.149.3The Lean Enterprise Institute founded by Womack 1 (1997) is aiming at developing educationalmethods and workshops to promote training about lean tools. Nontraditional instructionalmethods such as learning-by-doing methods, active and collaborative learning techniques aregetting more popular in the past few years. This trend is mostly reflected by introducing variousphysical simulation or computer games (gamification) and is growing rapidly due to theirpositive impact on learning process [1, 2]. The literature study illustrates a large pool ofeducational simulation games targeting different lean concepts and principles such as pullproduction, one piece flow, Jidoka, 5S, Poka Yoke and waste elimination.

identified teamwork as one of themost valued and necessary skills for college graduates, as the majority of engineering employerswant engineering educators to focus on developing students’ teaming and collaboration skills [7].Despite the clear emphasis on teamwork in engineering and the increasing use of student teamprojects, our understanding of how to support engineering students to develop these skills islimited [1]. Some engineering education researchers consider how to teach teaming skills inengineering courses [9], but some others question if teamwork can be taught [17]. Moreover, fewstudies have linked student collaborative learning or teaming skills to specific instructionalstrategies.Case-based instruction asks students to analyze realistic
aspossible while remaining understandable. They must go deep enough into the subject to allowstudents to recognize the ultimate goal of industrial engineering, to increase efficiency, withoutbecoming too technical for a young audience. A practical way to achieve this balance is throughthe modification of successful classroom assignments. This work will discuss several activitiesthat have been successfully used for K-12 student outreach at the University of Arkansas and arebased upon undergraduate class exercises. Each project will be presented in detail along with itscorresponding course assignment in order to motivate the exchange of creative ideas and developa framework for the adaptation of additional outreach activities.1.

issued 14 Grand Challenges encompassing the broadrange of human concern including sustainability, health, vulnerability, and the joy of living.6 To impact these Grand Challenges, the NAE has identified a need to change theeducational process for the engineers that will tackle these challenges and have challengedinstitutions of higher education to meet these goals. As of March 2015, the NAE havesigned 122 engineering schools to a pledge to educate a total of 20,000 Grand ChallengeEngineers over the next decade. According to their press release, “The Grand Challengeengineers will be trained through special programs at each institution that integrate fiveeducational elements: (1) a hands-on research or design project connected to the

The objective is to ensure that studentsare able to, with minimal disruption, migrate Figure 1: CCTA Systems Viewbetween TTU and community colleges. For the bi-directional Student Transition Paths shown in Figure 1, agreements must eliminate academicprogram discontinuities by including well-defined community college course outcomes andrelated performance criteria that ensure academic success for transfer students.

As shown in Figure 1,the Upper Cumberland is centrally located thebetween metropolitan areas of Nashville,Knoxville, and Chattanooga. Interstate 40, one ofthe nation’s most highly traveled arteries,provides regional access to the national interstatesystem.

student projects can result in a number of benefits forthe healthcare institutions, students, and faculty members. One of the primary gains forinstitutions is the ability to draw on the skills and knowledge of faculty and students in IndustrialEngineering and Industrial Management to solve real problems. The solutions provided byMercer students have included process maps, time studies, 5S studies, inventory managementsystems, simulations, survey analyses, standardized process recommendations, training plans,staffing and resource allocation plans, and conceptual design of human-machine interfaces. Apartial list of projects and their deliverables can be found in Table 1. Many of these deliverablesalso serve as evidence of continuous process
