In order to reduce the burden for the faculty and yet ensure a representative cross-section of courses and student materials would be analyzed, the assessment committee identifiedtarget courses for each outcome portfolio (Table 3). This format should minimize the effort tocollect and review materials as well as to analyze student performance. In addition, since, foreach semester (fall and spring), sophomore-, junior-, and senior-level courses were selected, theDepartment will be able to analyze performance at each level in the program and

industrial engineering students see theinterconnections between the various courses they have taken. Others assume that the seniordesign capstone course will "bring it all together" for the students. Unfortunately, this is notalways true and students tend to approach problems with a single minded focus. This problemcan continue as they enter the workforce and receive specific narrow job titles such asmanufacturing engineer, ergonomist, or quality engineer. We need to clearly illustrate the needfor an integrated approach to our industrial engineering student whether it is through industryclass project, case studies, or personal experience.References1.

To help students gain additional appreciation for the increased complexity of the triangular plane stresses element the element stiffness matrix may be introduced. Emphasis should be placed on the necessity of computer program application.11. Tutorial examples of the computer software may be provided to the students so plane stress structural models and analyses may be performed.12.
