responsive to employer needs. In the northeast US where Quinnipiac is located, the mostcommon employers are hospital networks, financial and insurance companies, along withtraditional manufacturers that range from small to large. Additionally, several principles wereidentified and used as an aid in curriculum decisions, including a smaller core, flexible technicalelectives for multiple emphasis areas, and broad based methodology courses.In this paper, we first describe the development of the curriculum that integrates the principles ofthe system design process with curriculum development. The IE curriculum at Quinnipiac is thenpresented and discussed.2. A Curriculum Development ProcessCurriculum development can be an overwhelming undertaking when

effectiveness. Closed-loop implies performance data is compared to a referencevalue and depending on the magnitude of the difference, the implementation strategy for theacademic program is modified.SPK functional areas derived from the following ABET General Criteria [12] are: 1. Students: Ensure students are academically prepared and scheduled to be in the right place in the program at the right time. 5. Curriculum: Ensures an integrated set of courses and laboratory experiences from the discipline BOK to develop knowledge, skills, and behaviors of students and satisfies accreditation and university requirements.Extra-Curricular, also an SPK Functional Area, consists of non-curriculum related programactivities that also develop knowledge

class in their curriculum sequence. They chose the third formof scaffolding approach, and the results showed that scaffolding (and the other methods theystudied) have an effect on student performance in the class currently taken and in the followingclasses. One of the recommendations of the study was to encourage faculty to use scaffolding intheir classroom instruction. Girgis used scaffolding for teaching the techniques of problemsolving to underrepresented minority students. 9 Using the second approach, he conducted a one-week case study in three sessions with increasing complexity, and structured guidancethroughout the sessions. His study showed notable progress in students’ problem solving skillsand received positive feedback from the

logisticsand transportation education.The term "Best Practice" has been used to describe "what works" best in a particular situation orenvironment. Best practices are an inherent part of education that exemplifies the connection andrelevance identified in educational research. They interject rigor into the curriculum bydeveloping thinking and problem-solving skills through integration and active learning. Bestpractices are applicable to all degree levels and provide the building blocks for instruction. Bestpractices motivate, engage and prompt students to learn and achieve. Students who receive abalanced curriculum and possess the knowledge, skills and abilities to transfer and connect ideasand concepts across disciplines are most likely succeed in

formation of anengineering identity is an area of increasing interest in engineering education research due to itslink to student retention, particularly for those underrepresented in the profession.In addition, industry demands that engineering graduates possess improved abilities tocommunicate in a variety of mediums and cross-culturally. Improved integration of writing intothe technical curriculum could serve as a concrete method to develop these critical skills andattributes while potentially improving student retention. Despite these numerous benefits andefforts to increase engineering writing through efforts like Writing Across the Curriculum, it seemsmost engineering programs do little to engage their students in meaningful writing.

probability and statistics to engineering students arethe theoretical nature of the topic and the disconnection of the material taught with real-worldengineering problems. Although the engineering curriculum in most cases has been updated andexpanded to incorporate group work and project-based learning, most of the mathematicaloriented courses are still taught in a passive manner.Our goal is to enhance students’ critical thinking by integrating case studies to our introductorycourse in probability and statistics. This is typically a sophomore-level core course in theindustrial engineering curriculum. Students who complete this course, should be able tounderstand the role of uncertainty in engineering models, apply critical probability concepts

“Extremely Satisfied”.The factors that were found to be significant through this ordinal logistic regression model werethen implemented into an industrial engineering curriculum classroom. The course was anintroductory course in engineering economics in the Industrial Engineering curriculum. Theinstructor ensured that any quiz or exam was given back within a week of being administered,following the recommendation that frequent and detailed feedback is most effective for students.The instructor also ensured from the first day of class and through reminders that he wasavailable after class and in office hours for any questions or concerns. This allowed students tofeel that if they were struggling with a concept, the teacher was approachable and

investigated to be used to further improve the game to the expectations of the students. 2Serious games are critical for experiential learning as well. Experiential learning is termed as theprocess, whereby the knowledge is created through the transformation of experience [18][19][10].Experiential gaming models are also proposed in the literature, where gaming and experientialeducation principles are integrated. One of the early works proposed an experiential gaming modelwhich was based on integration of experiential learning theory, flow theory and game design [20]In this study, we focus on developing a serious game that can be used as part of classroom

’),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
