logistics standards and train next generation workforces, especially Hispanicstudents. Selected standards from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and InternationalOrganization for Standards (ISO) will be introduced to students in different levels. It is expected tosignificantly increase business and engineering students’ awareness and knowledge of supply chainand logistics standards by creating the sustainable and cost-effectiveness curriculum structures. In thispaper, the authors introduce the standards to be covered, and the detailed design of the curriculum,including new courses to be developed, existing courses to be modified, and existing courses to beincluded in the undergraduate minor and graduate certificate programs

students the theory but do not really show how to apply it in different examples. This was probably my favorite part about lecture since we got to apply the knowledge, we had previously learned right then and there.” “This was a great approach for the harder problems since it gave a foundation for us, additionally the purpose of homework is to prepare for exams and practice concepts that we will be applying as engineers. Therefore, it is more important to know how to solve a problem than to waste too much time trying to figure it out with no progress. Personally, the way I learn better is by seeing an example then by repetition of other problems like it so this approach was great.”As evidenced

The right panel shows the class results,and the left panel shows the results for the beginning of class diagnostic quiz. Zero grade indiagnostics means student did not attempt the diagnostic quiz. ConclusionTo bridge the knowledge gap between incoming engineering students and the curricular pre-requisites, a new course was developed. With the aim of improving student outcomes, an evidence-based approach to assessment of student performance was initiated. The performance of studentsfrom this course will be tracked over their UTA enrollment. This report provides the initial results,which points to the following

Whether the individual remains at one company,or they change companies throughout their work career – through experiences there are threecharacteristics that are critical for continued growth and success in industry. These characteristicsare:Characteristics 1. Intelligence – the ability to be analytical, the ability to apply knowledge, and theability to acquire new knowledgeCharacteristic 2. Integrity - being honest, high morals and adherence to ethicsCharacteristic 3. Soft Skills – ability to communicate with a wide range of individuals from engineersto non-engineers, and

operations and relationships, to develop newapproaches and strategies for attacking novel situations.”1The new requirements from ABET also require competency at these levels. For instance, StudentOutcome #1 requires: “An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problemsby applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.”4This paper addresses the question, “How do we enhance metacognitive ability in our students?”The question arises from the fact that most instruction in schools, and even at college level, consistsof one or two-step problems, in a multiple-choice answer format, and essentially follows the“teaching to the test” approach, closely based on state standards. Even at the college level,especially at
