pedagogicalchallenges of blended instructional models, the use of these environments has quickly spreadacross higher education. Programs have adopted blended learning environments mainly due tothree reasons: 1) improved pedagogy, 2) increased access/flexibility, and 3) increased costeffectiveness. The Industrial Engineering Department at Universidad del Norte, a large privateuniversity in Colombia, the Engineering Department and the School of Business at ColoradoState University – Pueblo, a regional comprehensive university in the United States have beenplanning on transitioning and incorporating web-assisted tools into their curriculum. This workfocuses on the designing stage of blended modules containing theoretical and applied content,common to three

Education, 2019 Aggregating Industrial Engineering Concepts Through Cookie ManufacturingWhy: backgroundThe 2018 revision to the ABET EAC student outcomes 1-7 [1], insight from TUEE [2], and eventhe moniker of the author’s department, integrated systems engineering, requires engineeringeducators to create student experiences with a more integrated approach to problem solving.However, creating open-ended problems is much more difficult than using textbook problemswith one correct answer. These problems are challenging to develop and assess when trying tocover a broad swath of the curriculum, so the author considered it valuable to share theexperience and feedback from the process of creating and

improvement, and future work will focus onassessing the impact of the CLICK approach on students’ learning, motivation, and preparationto be successful engineers, areas which could translate to a STEM pipeline for the futureworkforce.1. IntroductionThe typical curricula for students majoring in engineering involve a set of courses that areordered in a sequence in which each course provides the students with the required knowledge totake the next course in this sequence [1]. The structure of the Industrial Engineering (IE)curriculum is no exception. The courses in these curricula are usually taught by differentinstructors. This traditional course-centric curriculum structure is limited in its ability to establishthe connection between fundamental

forstudents in OR and SPC courses in the case they don’t like the software used for solving problems. On the otherhand, learning multiple software applications during a 4-month long semester course can be a challenge forstudents in these courses. On the contrary to its importance, there is little to no attention given to pedagogicalresearch on Industrial Engineering students’ software choices. Engineering majors’ software choices to solvecalculus questions were investigated in several pedagogical research articles however these articles were notfocused on industrial engineering students’ software application interests.1, 2The importance of meeting students’ learning choices and research-based principles of smart teaching is studiedin the literature

By comparing physicalsimulations with virtual reality environments, this paper provides insights into the applicability ofvirtual reality technologies in the education domain. Research activities will be integrated intoundergraduate courses on manufacturing systems to support problem-solving skill developmentamong students.1. BackgroundSimulation games can be a catalyst for understanding manufacturing concepts among engineeringstudents. Using simulation games allows students to experiment various manufacturing systems ina realistic setting. Moreover, simulation games can provide a means to engage

properly tackling the ethical conflict and enable engineeringstudents to align their decisions with their ethical preferences.IntroductionPracticing engineering consists of making many engineering decisions to ultimately realize asystem that satisfies certain needs [1], [2]. Some of those decisions involve elements that affecthuman lives [3]. While the sought effect is generally positive, engineering also has the potentialto generate negative outcomes to society. That double-edged sword arguably leads to theimportance of identifying and justifying that which is morally right and wrong - engineeringethics.This paper focuses on the ethical dimension of engineering stemming from design decisions thatmay affect human lives. Specifically, we ask how

three courses offered in fall 2016 and fall 2017.The results reviewed as a whole and individually provided insights on student preferences,engagement and learning particularly from the perspectives of the two courses, Quality Analysisand Design of Experiments, which have substantial practical applications within the IndustrialEngineering discipline.IntroductionScaffolding is an instructional strategy that is based on L. Vygotsky’s Zone of ProximalDevelopment (ZPD). The range between the ability level of a person achieved by individualefforts versus under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers denotes ZPD [1].With scaffolding, the materials that the learner has to absorb are broken down into smallercomponents so that the
