EducationAbstractLogistics and transportation has become one of the last frontiers that still remain to be conqueredby most businesses in the twenty first century. Yet this cannot be done unless all logistics andtransportation professionals, irrespective of their functional orientation and current jobresponsibilities, fundamentally understand the dynamics of how products move from one placeto another. This is one of the disciplines that is growing at a faster pace. The issue is that thenumber of graduates in this field is not meeting the current industry demand. Many U.S.institutions have recently developed and planning to develop educational degree programs in thisarea. This research analyzed the need for best practices and identified best practices in

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

including significant math andscience requirements and limited degree plan flexibility, the effectiveness of online engineeringprograms might be significantly different than other undergraduate education programsespecially those outside of STEM. Our experience indicates that an online BS pathway attracts adiverse range of students who are traditional underserved by engineering education as discussedin section 4. This paper also documents our outreach approach (section 2) and student success(section 5).As the background on the program, the department offers a BS in Industrial Engineering, a BS inIndustrial Technology, a MS in Engineering (Non-thesis), a MS in Engineering Science, a MS inEngineering Management, and a Doctor of Engineering degree.

this educational research project, game-based in-class and after-class learning activities aredeveloped to teach selected inventory control strategies to undergraduate and graduate students.Students from Supply Chain Management and System Simulation courses are targeted, who aretaught by different instructors. The activities include teaching the inventory control policies tostudents in a regular class setting, then providing an overview on a game developed on MS Excel.In the game, the lead time and customer demand variables are defined uncertain, and not given tostudents, which make the assignment an ill-structured problem. A 12-month planning andexecution period is given to students with qualitative and quantitative information about

Stress over and over again thepurpose is not to make a Financial Operational Model to get a value for the Internal Rate of Return,Net Present Value, and Payback time in years. It is to develop scenarios to test the project’sviability, to see potential weaknesses that must be studied further before moving ahead with theproject, and to plan for success. And that is not all. A good Financial Operational Model is a livingdocument. Once the design is built and put in practice, it still has use. It can be modified todetermine upgrades to potential equipment, changes to feed stocks, issues with labor wages

Both are required courses in the Industrial Engineering master’s programat the University of New Haven. The main topics covered in the QA course are principles ofquality control systems, control charts for variables and attributes, process capability analysis,measurement system analysis, and acceptance sampling plans whereas the DOE courseintroduces students to fundamental concepts in planning, designing and conducting experimentsand covers various designs such as factorial design, response surface methodology, nested andsplit-plot designs.The course assignments and

bothhomogeneous teams and heterogeneous teams [4]. The advantages of homogenous teams aretypically: less conflict, better coordination, advantage of cohesion, and higher satisfaction. Theadvantages of heterogeneous teams are typically: diverse thinking, better performance oncomplex tasks, and more creativity. The disadvantages of homogeneous teams are: groupthink,decisions are one-dimensional (i.e., no contingency planning), and limited innovation. Thedisadvantages of heterogeneous teams are: difficulty agreeing, more conflict, and hard tocoordinate/manage. It has also been shown that homogeneous teams tend to reach a conclusion(albeit an inferior one) faster than heterogeneous teams [4]. This work has been corroboratedand expanded by other studies [5-9

Consistent with thevision of introducing changemaking themes in required classes in the majors, the initial plan wasto do this in several ways including: Introducing some lecture topics in the context of changemaking Rewriting some homework problems to include themes related to changemaking Create two new cases with social justice, humanitarian, or sustainability foundationsIn the end, these goals proved to be overambitious. The first goal was met with modest success,but the last goals proved too difficult for reasons that will be discussed below

The articulation ofscaffolding – “It should be an area of focus with planned progressions in various writing styles:project report, research paper, memo, etc.” – showed faculty conceptualize the progression ofwriting learning [19]. However, this conception focused on learning “how” to perform particularengineering documents rather than the higher level critical thinking skill of rhetoric –understanding why there are genre distinctions, and how to determine these underlying “valuesystems” to adjust writing for future unfamiliar genres. This is a far more valuable skill thanlearning how to write a memo report, because it develops a learner’s

ergonomics. Fraser’s 121 credit hour “generic”plan of study, which she feels describes most IE programs, includes two related courses: threecredit hours of “work methods” and three credit hours of “human factors.” Some portion of theseIE programs require only one three-credit-hour course that covers both work methods and humanfactors topics. IE programs may also offer advanced topics in ergonomics that are available aselectives to undergraduate students. There is also a subset of IE undergraduate programs thathave no required courses in these areas; Fraser’s numbers indicate that this is only about 10% ofABET accredited IE programs.Under the premise that ergonomics is an important subject in an undergraduate IE education, theinitial goal of this

student groups were never profitable but were able to reduce their losses significantly inthe second round. In the second round, it was observed that many of the students had learned thevalue of planning, forecasting, and managing risk when determining the size and source ofinventory replenishment orders. To this end, they applied logic and math in an effort to improvetheir decision-making. For example, one team purchased their entire inventory from California inthe first round, which helped them reduce their total material cost. However, the late arrival ofthe shipment in the third week prevented them from satisfying customer demand in weeks oneand two. As a result, at the end of the week five, the team was left with a large amount of

Data is currently being collected using a different set of students with the same conceptualquiz but taught the topic in a traditional classroom manner (control group). Afterwards, we plan toprovide a comparative analysis of both approaches, control group versus experimental group anddisseminate the results..

, instructors will beable to have a concise and easy implementation plan to improve student satisfaction andmotivation in the classroom, creating a better educational experience for both the students andthe instructor. Once the factors that most significantly influence student motivation andsatisfaction were identified, an implementation model was created and tested. The “Interact,Cultivate, and Deliver” method, also known as the “I-C-D” method, implements the elevensignificant factors found across the three ordinal logistic regression models in a succinct mannerfor instructors. A pilot study of this method was implemented into an IE classroom and it wasfound that when the significant factors were implemented into the classroom, the satisfaction
