engineeringcompetencies. Figure 1 illustrates the problem under consideration and the target audience(organization’s leadership). The SCL represent leadership competencies of an organization’sleadership, and they are aimed at enabling leaders to deal with systemic challenges that arisefrom a target system of interest21. In such a way SCL competencies are differentiated from thetechnical systems competencies of the team members, which have been discussed in detail inSchindel et al.20. In order to put the need for such leadership skills into context, we briefly recalltwo real-world examples – one of which resulted in a costly failure, and the other of whichresulted in a success and therefore illustrated the benefit of systemic thinking at leadershiplevels

As it has been previously discussed inOzelkan and Galambosi[1, 2], distance education can also have a significant effect on increasingnot only enrollment but the number of degrees completed as well, so it can be a very importantstrategy to grow a degree program.Colleges at the UNC Charlotte, such as College of Arts and Architecture, Computing andInformatics, Education, Engineering, Health and Human Services and Liberal Arts and Sciencesall are offering now online courses and online programs that started in recent years.

His book on architecting established the fundamentals, which included his articulationof the four basic approaches, namely1: 1. The normative (pronouncement) methodology 2.

The graphical example of a car race analogy presented in Section III of this paper is designedto match the preferred learning style of most engineering students which is visual, sensing,inductive, and active; and it provides balance to the traditional lecture presentation which isusually auditory, intuitive, deductive, and passive.1 As preparatory background to the car raceanalogy, the author’s pedagogy in engineering courses makes extensive use

Such integration will produce better learning experience forthe students (Fig. 1). It is expected that the integration framework presented in this paper willfurther narrow the gap between practical and theoretical knowledge acquisition by engineeringstudents.

The achievement of each of the 11 SYEN student outcomes (SOs) is tobe demonstrated by a primary core course and often by one supporting course. The assessment ofeach SO is based on quantitative performance measures that directly assess the SO. Assessmentmethodology is based on the student work, such as assignments, exams, projects, presentations,laboratory experiments, etc. Samples of student work supporting assessment of SOs are retainedand placed in the course binders maintained in the department office.The student outcomes are assessed as per

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

The advent ofembedded systems and cyber-physical systems, as integration of computation, networking andphysical systems and processes, and, consequently, the goal to impart the needed knowledge todesign and lead the operations for such systems, is one motivation.
