graduate and undergraduate levels. At Whirlpool, in addition to managing the usability group and conducting user research, she participated in a variety of global innovation efforts and worked with colleagues in a variety of fields in the US, Europe, Latin America, and Asia to promote customer-centered design. Her primary research and teaching interests are in ergonomics and human-machine systems design. She has conducted independent research investigating the link between usability and desirability in product design, worked with ARINC Engineering Services, LLC to provide human-systems integration support on a variety of projects for the US Navy, and has more recently been directing student teams on a number of projects

regional economic development in the UpperCumberland. The implementation was based on Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge, theAppalachian Regional Commission definitions of Program Areas, and the Morrill Land GrantAct of 1862 with an expanded definition of economic development.A cohort of industrial engineering seniors were instrumental in the design and development ofthe system. Similar to an AmeriCorps VISTA engagement, a characterization of the studentperspective is the opportunity to strengthen an organization so it can continue to serve the needsof the community after the project has ended.The system includes an organizational platform, a strategic planning process based onquantitative measures of regional employment, and a methodology for

a method of teaching that integrates community service into an academiccourse through applied learning to enrich the educational experience of students and meet theneeds of the community. In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities. Through theprojects, students gained a deeper understand of the course content, as well as

The curriculum allows for thedevelopment of the skills defined in the recent graduating student profile, skills that are mappedto student outcomes (a-k). Assessment results at the course and program levels are presented, aswell as the consolidation of the program’s continuous improvement process.IntroductionThis paper presents the Industrial Engineering curriculum review and design as the initial stepwithin the program’s

Heads(CIEADH).6Comparison of Two CoursesThe broad comparison of ergonomics classes at the authors’ universities is shown in Table 2.There are many similarities and a few differences. Most of the differences are programmatic,rather than classroom specific.Similarities: University A and University B are similar in that they both require a prerequisitecourse in basic Methods and Standards as well as a basic course in probability and statistics priorto taking Ergonomics. They both have an extensive lab component with written reports used forlearning assessment and incorporate a student project. They both include physical and cognitiveergonomic concepts with a foundation in the PE Exam topics, and they both require studentprojects.Differences: Term

specific and complex challenges.8,10Inductive teaching methods truly cover a large variety of instructional methods, from inquirylearning, problem-based learning, and project based learning. Often, these methods are deemed“student centered”, as the mastery of the concepts falls on the students to understand theimportance of the material from the problems or projects.11 Overall, inductive teaching styleshave more student benefits than deductive teaching methods. Inductive teaching methods offermore combinations to reach the learning style needs of the classroom and engage students moreactively in the subject matter.Student Perceptions in the ClassroomSatisfaction, self-efficacy, motivation, and classroom environment are the main factors in

Five of these factors (intrinsic, extrinsic, social, altruistic, andleisure) directly align with factors found in the work by Twenge et al [10] with a largelongitudinal data set from the Monitoring the Future project. The two additional factors (long-term and supervision) were from other literature on work expectations found in these agegroups [11,12,13].Table 2: Job Expectation Factors Factors Description Intrinsic Does the job provide a sense of personal meaning (be creative, learn, see results, maintain current skills)?

requisite time frame to evaluate material retention.However, formative assessment, helps instructors to save a situation by readjusting teachingmethods and directing students to the main course concepts; thus, both parties (educators andstudents), benefit from the knowledge loop in formative assessment.Summative assessment, an alternative to formative assessment, is well suited for evaluatingmaterial retention. This is usually done at the end of a cycle with a mid-term exam, final exam, aresearch paper or project presentation. Exams are conducted in various forms: take-home, open-notes-open-book, closed-notes-closed-book, closed-notes-closed-book with cheat-sheets. Closed-notes-closed-book exams are the orthodox form of exams which many educators

The settings and link functions considered were all default selections of SAS version9.4 (m3). The various regression model techniques were compared using the AkaikeInformation Criterion12 (AIC), AICc, and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). For thepurposes of this project, the authors considered statistical significance at the α = 0.05 level. AIC,AICc, and BIC were used as the comparisons for goodness of fit between the models created,rather than R2 and Adjusted R2, because techniques for calculating R2 and Adjusted R2 regardinggoodness of fit for some nonlinear
