Industrialengineers need to be as security conscious as they are cost and quality conscious, and includesecurity as part of continuous improvement strategies in cost and quality. The author recognizesthat many IE educators are already actively engaged in updating courses and materials to addresshomeland security in the curriculum. This paper is an attempt to encourage and perhapsmotivate others to get engaged and to stimulate further discussion on concepts and approaches toaddress this important revision to our program.References[1] ALDRICH, J.G., 1912

For an engineering educator, it is vital to inculcate in the engineering students,the importance of studying humanities that can open up their minds to the use of creative ideasfrom great minds outside of science. Humanists claim that the state-of-the-art scientificknowledge techniques that engineers learn in their college curriculum have a limited shelf life. Ifthey master the humanities, it can provide tools for extending that shelf life.

Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy.

Each year all mechanical engineering majors must take the Fundamentals ofEngineering (FE) exam. The 94% pass rate for the April 2002 FE exam is a strong indicator ofthe strength of the mechanical engineering program at USMA. The mechanical engineeringprogram ranks 5th among schools without an engineering doctorate program in the 2003 edition ofU.S. News and World Report rankings.6 Despite this success, improvements to the program maybe realized by integrating parts of the curriculum. The details of how courses could be integrated will be explained later in this paper

It stresses hands-on engineering activities and industrycollaboration, and offers students an alternative path to a degree that directly prepares them forcareers in manufacturing4-5. A drawback of the LF model however is its high implementationcost, which limits its transferability.2. Development of the MILL Model
