university,and via the curriculum.In the case of this curriculum development project, the need to adhere to ABET requirements forcurriculum was very clear. Perhaps not so clear was the usefulness of the NCEES FundamentalExam content in making specific curricular decisions. Also, the college mission was a factor as itcalls for a liberal education perspective to be linked to the university’s pre-professionalprograms, and requires 46 credits of general education that must be accommodated in alluniversity degree programs. Resource limitations needed to be considered in the development ofthis program in terms of classroom and laboratory development. Also, substantial faculty timehas been needed for course development as several new courses are required
, career development, cultural awareness,leadership, and other professional and intellectual skills. There are numerous experientiallearning opportunities in higher education that can be found in most disciplines. Thefollowing is a comprehensive list of these experiences as noted by (George MasonUniversity, 2011; Loretto, 2011; Northern Illinois University OTC, 2011), NortheasternUniversity, University of Colorado Denver, and many others [6-15]. Classroom Learning Experiences, where students apply their knowledge to challenges inthe office or laboratory and then bring that dynamic experience back to the classroom. Research Experiences provides opportunities for students to do cutting-edge researchwith faculty who are among the best in their
laboratory settings.The multi-disciplinary nature of ergonomics and its broad application in many domains (e.g.,transportation, manufacturing, aviation, medicine, product design, software development) meansthat potential course topics are numerous and therefore the instructor usually has much latitude indesigning course coverage and types of assignments.In practice, the broad range of topics within ergonomics can be included in a variety of IEundergraduate courses. Typical course names include Ergonomics, Human Factors, MethodsEngineering, Safety Engineering, Cognitive Engineering and Work Design, among others.6 In a2015 review of the 94 ABET accredited IE programs, Jane Fraser7 states that 90% of thoseprograms require work methods, human factors or

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

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
connection between laboratory research and classroom lectures, enabling students to see anduse the course material in action. While not a CURE, instructors at Montana State University andNortheastern University implemented similarly hands-on, experiential learning exercises in anintroductory industrial engineering course. They found that students physically working withproblems and seeing how real systems operated were more compelling than traditional teachingpedagogies; students even seemed more enthusiastic about industrial engineering [21]. Manyothers have reported CURE benefits, including networking and developing scientific skills, aswell as outcomes like increased teamwork, critical thinking, communication skills, andconfidence [14].Because
