to stay abreast with the continual shifts inindustrial engineering practices, techniques, and applications. The breadth of theindustrial engineering profession uniquely lends itself to a curriculum that offers moreflexibility and choices to its students, as the new curriculum proposal offers. In addition,the additional emphasis on emerging fields within the service sector and in theinformation technology field will make our curriculum more appealing to potentialstudents, and will enrich the education that Penn State IME students receive”.This paper describes the curriculum and its objectives.Basic approaches to curriculum change• Integrate other applications areas (e.g., service processes) into existing courses.• Reorganize required

Introduction Technology innovations play an increasingly important role in engineering education asan effective tool for enhancing classroom learning. My experience in both teaching and studyingtransportation engineering has me realize that computer simulation, one of these innovations,complements traditional transportation engineering education methods. Conventionalapproaches to transportation education emphasize rationality and are dominated by analyticaltraining, which tends to
technological, officers must have a thorough knowledge of how theirweapons function as a system in order to take full advantage of them. It is for this reasonthat the primary emphasis of the Systems Engineering major at the Naval Academy hasremained oriented more towards the engineering of control systems, like those commonlyin modern weaponry. The present curriculum of the Systems Engineering major contains six requiredcourses, covering fundamentals in mathematical modeling, simulation, and control. Eachmajor takes five additional elective courses. These are organized as two two-courseelective sequences in an area of specialization and a fifth major elective that may betaken in any engineering-related course. Two-course elective tracks

That study indicated a need for an “awareness of the big picture” and a “willingness toengage” in regard to communication skills in the workplace. The Body of Knowledge document prepared by theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) further emphasizes the need for technological communication skillsalong with business management competence and lifelong professional development in order to compete in theglobal marketplace3. Communication and business management skills can be fuzzy concepts for people primarilytrained in applied math and science, yet these skills are recognized when they are or are not present in individuals

Anunderlying theme of the entire program will be encouragement of underrepresented groups inSMET through role models and particular teaching techniques. This theme will be emphasized inboth the recruitment of the Fellows and the teaching of the students. Benefits to the K-12 schoolswill include curriculum that integrates science, technology and engineering topics with math,reading and writing. Benefits to the Fellows will include improved communication skills andself-image.The team uses hands-on learning activities to enhance the educational experience of learners ingrades K-5 in science, math, engineering and technology subjects.

3257 EVOLUTION OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM John E. Shea, Thomas M. West Oregon State UniversityIntroduction At the beginning of this decade, the structure of engineering curricula at most colleges anduniversities had existed since the early 1950’s, and reflected an emphasis on a solid foundation inmath, science, and engineering science as expressed in the Grinter Report of 19551. Therequirements for accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) reinforced this traditional structure of the
demanded primarily graduatedegrees for beginning positions. However, after a few years of expansion, CS demanded mostlybachelor degrees for entry-level positions. As a similar high technology area, in its infancy,photonic engineering should undergo a similar maturation and soon be requiring mostly bachelordegrees. Unfortunately, the current training level of undergraduate students does not adequatelyprepare them for entrance into this exciting market (The growth of photonics continues to be at aterrific rate (16% in 1995 - 1996) and is expected to be as high as 18% this year2.). To date, themajority of the training in lasers and photonics is conducted at the graduate level. With thecontinued advances in photonics, the need for earlier training
