sustainability and environmental issues can be much moreeffective when complemented with a computer simulation. Simulation allows students to makedecisions in dynamic real-world environments. The output from the simulation allows thestudent to evaluate the impacts of decisions and make necessary adjustments while learning newproblem solving strategies. The manufacturing environment provides an excellent application ofcomputer simulation. The complexity, uncertainty, and interdependencies of a factory are hard toconvey from a textbook alone. Therefore, faculty use simulation to enhance their teachingeffectiveness.Studies show that the use of computer simulation can complement and improve traditionaltextbook methods. In addition to teaching concepts and

Page 12.325.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Bringing New Topics into the IE CurriculumAbstractThe need to focus efforts on environmental concerns rings important to young people aswell as to the National Academy of Engineers. The need to raise awareness about theenvironmental impact of decisions in manufacturing and product design should be at theforefront of curriculum enhancement efforts. Industrial Engineers are typically viewed as“systems thinkers” and need to analyze the larger eco-system when new designs are putin place. Thus, the systems-approach to environmentally responsible design andmanufacturing has a natural place in the Industrial Engineering curriculum.The challenge to engineering faculty may

financial resources to support the student in the classroom.There is always some risk when placing a new instructor in the classroom for the first timewhether they are a new faculty, adjunct, or graduate student. The administrator’s concern is thatthe students receive effective instruction afforded them. Use of an assigned mentor with adedicated interest in the student reduces this risk and provides a strong support system thatincreases their chance of success.It is important that the administrative level also take part in the process. This begins with aninitial interview of the student to ensure they understand the importance of the assignment andall that will be required of them during the semester. Then it is beneficial to take the time to sit

Therefore, the performance of meaningful writing inengineering curricula has the potential to help address chronic representation issues, to improvethe writing competencies of graduates, and to help encourage the growth of future engineers.How faculty in the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering (NACOE) at Montana StateUniversity (MSU) conceptualize writing influences the way that it is taught, and thus studentoutcomes and student perception of its meaning. This examination of faculty perceptions onwriting is a first step in identifying and cataloguing whether meaningful writing is occurring.

began switching todifferent curriculums, such as modular laboratories, 15 because of the expenses associated withmaintaining traditional machining programs.8 Simply increasing class sizes—one way togenerate needed revenue—may not only increase student-to-faculty ratios but also the number ofstudents that can be served by the available equipment. One important finding in the UC Berkleystudy was that CNC equipment is perhaps less important than having simpler manual machinetools that have traditionally been part of these programs.1 Given the cost of new industrialequipment—manual or programmed—a reasonable alternative may be to obtain used systems.However, securing older equipment presents three issues: frequent repairs, obtaining

The IEDepartment is leading an effort to ensure that all of its graduates have an internationalexperience.Discussion amongst the IE faculty at Pitt regarding implementing the international requirementhas been ongoing for well over two years. We wanted to go beyond simply requiring students totake international or global coursework. We believe that the best way to ensure that ourgraduates are prepared for the global market, have a basic understanding of global and culturalissues, and can utilize this understanding in an engineering context is to require an internationaltravel experience. However, there were clearly some serious issues and obstacles to considerbefore proceeding with such a requirement.A survey

By the late1980s engineering employers and educational leaders recognized that preparing engineers for21st century practice demanded fundamental changes in the engineering science paradigm.ABET was perceived as an impediment to innovation. Presidents of the University of Michigan,and MIT publically stated that engineering education must change to support the new quality-oriented environment and that ABET’s rigid “bean counting” posed a significant barrier toneeded innovation.

To address the issue, five participants chose to make the examopen book; three participants mentioned designing longer and more challenging exams to reducethe odds of collaboration; two participants prepared different versions of the exam papers toavoid cheating; and one participant switched to take-home exam. Only four participantsindicated that they had enough support in proctoring exams. So, one thing I did make this time for the exams is fully open book. Because of the academic integrity issues, I was not sure how much I can actually ensure that the students would
