Over the past five years, several outreach andeducational programs at a mid-sized, rural, public, four-year university have been implementedusing a Foundry-guided approach to curriculum development. These are programs supported byvarious State and Federal initiatives and aligned with larger efforts to facilitate the developmentof holistic engineers. All three programs leverage the Foundry as a way to facilitate theintegration of diverse perspectives and build social frameworks

and related fields inthe last few years. Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) and supply chain management(SCM) online programs are among the fastest growing online programs. This paper includes asurvey of some current teaching trends and study plans from top ISE and SCM online graduateprograms. There is a common ground between ISE and SCM. In general, there are some similarcourses in the two fields and an overlap in the study plans; this is more obvious in theundergraduate level. This paper introduces a comparison between the ISE and SCM onlineprograms at the master’s degree level. The survey of this study can be used to develop a graduateonline curriculum for an up-to-date program that combines ISE and SCM.KeywordsEngineering Education
