In Fall 2017 there were approximately750 engineering and computer science majors; 105 of those were declared as ISyE majors.The ISyE program offers a broad, general exposure to the field with no concentrations. After twoyears of general science and engineering classes students have required coursework in workanalysis, manufacturing, quality, systems, and operations research. The OR componentcomprises separate deterministic and stochastic courses, discrete event simulation, and a coursein operations/supply chain.Developing Changemaking EngineersIn 2014, the National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated the IUSE/PFE: REvolutionizingengineering and computer science Departments (IUSE/PFE: RED

One approach is an iterative three-stepprocess: (1) The assessment committee conducts a survey, (2) survey users and respondentsprovide suggestions for modifications, and (3) the committee decides which changes toimplement. The committee must be empowered so that it can make decisions without routinelyrequiring an unwieldy vote of the entire membership, and its membership should minimallyinclude persons who can provide input regarding the teaching and research components ofacademia, industrial needs, and

Adding drones to truck deliveries to aid in lastmile deliveries could add great value to shipment companies, and more research and analysisinto this concept would definitely be beneficial on a long-term, large scale.This work serves an initial starting point for application of general facility location

These researchresults were then used as a foundation for the current engineering education study.Research MethodsIn the fall of 2012, a student survey was created by another researcher at the Pennsylvania StateUniversity in order to analyze the driving factors of student satisfaction in the classroom. Thefindings of this research were used as a screening survey to better understand industrialengineering students and how they learn best. In the fall of 2014, a new survey based on thefindings of the initial research was created to allow accurate statistical modeling to occur.The created questionnaire was administered to 107 junior-level industrial engineering students,at-will, at the
