The learning module design paradigm as it addresses the growingdemand through the scalability inherent in the proposed model, is a framework which willaddress innovation and embrace anytime, anywhere, any pace learning. Once developed, these modules will be used to create other offerings for specific targetmarkets within North Carolina and outside the state. Additionally, these cost projectionspresented to

energy to produce or manufacture. In thismodule students will be introduced to environmental impact measures, industrialstandards and guidelines, and decision-making strategies that can be used for materialselection.Module 4: Process design and improvement - Another common challenge faced inindustry is to reduce the environmental impact of an existing manufacturing process.Students will be introduced to methods of identifying the most damaging part of theprocess flow through material and energy balances. Common practices for reducingenergy consumption and waste will be discussed. In addition, strategies for productpackaging and delivery will be presented.Module 5: End-of-use strategies - This module begins with a lecture on Green Chemistry.It

12.211.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 An Industrial Engineering Body of Knowledge?AbstractCivil engineers have a defined Body of Knowledge. Mechanical engineering currently has aBody of Knowledge task force focused on the future of mechanical engineering education. Canwe agree on an industrial engineering Body of Knowledge, or at least agree on outcomes thatdistinguish industrial engineering (IE) from other engineering disciplines? The ABET programcriteria for industrial engineering state only that “The program must demonstrate that graduates have the ability to design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. The program
