Gesturerefers to a movement that engages part(s) of the body; gesture is a shape with a beginning, middle,and end. Architecture refers to the environment the actors are working in and how their awarenessof it impacts the way they move.

the US and even around the world. This accreditation certainly ensures highquality of the engineering education that is provided to the students. However, with ABET’sapproach of accrediting individual programs, universities (and departments) tend to develop theirengineering programs largely in isolation. There is likely to be a strong overlap between thecollege-level math and basic sciences courses that are required by ABET, but the courses onengineering topics may or may not be common across multiple programs. There could certainlybe overlap based on the history of how these courses were initially designed, the programs theywere initially offered under, the faculty member(s) who designed and/or taught them, scheduling,etc. Universities and

Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) in Healthcare Although ISyE was lauded in the 2014 PCAST report, engineers worked for many decades to improve the healthcare system and establish a long term partnership with healthcare providers. In the 1980’s Donald Berwick, former President and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), espoused that continuous improvement is a necessary solution to the ongoing problems in healthcare 2. During that decade, healthcare professionals observed an increasing amount of inefficiencies in the system which reinforced complexity and contributed to increasing costs. Two methods of improvement dominated the healthcare industry: 1) inspection and correction of problems and 2) continuous improvement
