gain profound insights into these tools, preparing them to excel as qualityengineers. This paper describes how the hands-on activities embedded within the Boot Campplay a pivotal role in shaping the students' learning experience. Pre- and post-surveys enable usto gauge knowledge growth and the confidence to apply quality engineering principles. In aconstantly evolving industrial landscape, this Quality Engineering Boot Camp could be an idealsetting to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed to excel as quality experts.1 IntroductionQuality engineering is integral to modern manufacturing and service industries, deeply rooted inthe foundations of industrial and manufacturing engineering [1]. Organizations must maintainhigh

in a college, we will generate views of the organization that integrate both structuralresources, needs and constraints on capacity, and grassroots efforts, resources, needs andconstraints on capacity. The social and the technical subsystems in an organization areinterdependent – that is, one does not have a purpose without the other, so both will need to beexamined and designed jointly.To this end, we present the Systems Engineering Initiative for Student Success (SEISS)framework we are developing for enabling educational organizations to scan, evaluate andtransform their operations to achieve their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals in studentrecruitment, retention, and graduation. Our SEISS framework which views a college or a

shift in pedagogical practices among industrial engineering educators, ultimatelyempowering the next generation of industrial engineers to drive innovation and progress in theindustry.IntroductionCuriosity is a primary motivator of learning, invention, and innovation. Curiosity is essential inengineering education for fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning skillsrequired to face 21st-century issues [1], [2], [3]. Lindholm [4] posited strongly that modernity isfundamentally rooted in curiosity, which serves as a catalyst for knowledge acquisition, freshperspectives, and creative thinking in both individuals and groups. In the opinion of Pluck andJohnson [5], curiosity is an aspect of intrinsic motivation with great

drastic, however, students in this course are challenged to explore understanding inventoryand supply chain models in an abstract manner. Integrating their knowledge built within thecourse, students are asked to write about a concept, model, topic, or issue pertaining todeterministic and stochastic inventory modeling.Creative Writing Assignments. The first poem-writing assignment required students to create an“I am” poem about themselves. This assignment allowed students to experiment and gain someexperience with the specific poetic form on a topic that is personal and well known to them. Thisassignment is due in the second week of the course to encourage creative thinking early on. Thesecond poem-writing assignment required students to create an
