The BIG group meets on a regular basis to discuss best practices within theindustry. While all of the companies within the BIG group provided information regarding theirviews on educational support, only half of the companies financially support education of theiremployees. Only Red Ball Oxygen provided us with permission to name its company in

. Following the first industrial revolution, research began onunderstanding people and collaboration as an important aspect for productivity in engineering.During the Taylorism era of the early 19th century, relationship between supervisors and workerswere established and cooperation was ensured to ensure efficiency in production [2]. However,the decision-making process were carried out by supervisors only. As the world shifted to thesecond industrial revolution, teams were formed with leaders and team members coordinatingtasks together and helping each other to reach team goals [2]. Leaders had the authority to directorders to team members ensuring proper coordination and control of tasks. By the beginning ofthe third industrial revolution

also reasons for teams to beused in a course: Teams are able to accomplish more than individuals, there is learning betweenmembers on a team, and teams are a way of developing and disseminating a culture. In theclassroom, the culture that should be developed among the students through the use of teams is aculture of collaboration and problem-solving. No amount of lecturing on the value of teams orthe value of collaborative problem solving can replace the learning or experiencing of actuallybeing a part of a team. It should be noted that teams can be formal or informal; for a largesemester project, teams may work together for weeks, but informal teams may develop duringsmall class discussions or class exercises.A potential hazard of using teams

24.479.5 Figure 2: Mass customization in the fashion industry17 This kind of perspective is very well known to fashion students, but in engineeringcurriculum it is not emphasized in a great extent. . Considering that mass customization andpersonalization is becoming a norm in several industries, for example the automotive industry asas shown in Figure 3 Mini Cooper customers can chose design of their roofs with an onlinedesign tool19. Therefore, it would be beneficial to develop a course which would include thesetopics and would deal with engineering design theory embedded in fashion topics. In engineeringterms, the project would include topics such as House of Quality, Group Technology, ParametricDesign, Product Family

reasoning including skillssuch as classification, sequencing, planning, and comparison. Creative thinking involves creatingand generating something new or original. It also involves the skills of brainstorming,modification, attribute listing, and originality. The purpose of DFA creative thinking is tostimulate curiosity among students and promote product structure simplification. Bloom'sTaxonomy provides a useful structure in which to categorize DFA learning objects whenassessing student learning outcomes. Asking students to think at higher levels is an excellent wayto stimulate student's thought processes. In DFA learning process, the purpose of writing

Ron Zemke14 has characterized these students as “leave no one behindattitude”. This is a generation brought up with cooperative and collaborative learning modelsfrom kindergarten.Environmental and Economic Tradeoffs Within Supply ChainsIn determining a model industry in which to explore the research questions, the U.S. automotiveindustry seemed the most likely choice. Car manufacturing relies on hundreds of suppliers forcomponents and materials to manufacture vehicles, with emissions released to air, water, and
