In this process, they transformeach other in congruence with their contextual circumstances. Furthermore, thetransformation space is benefited or hindered according to the emotions from which it isgenerated [24] [28].Mechanisms for students learning outcomes evaluation. The literature on quality assurancein higher education emphasizes the importance of internal and external stakeholders’opinions for curricular evaluation and change [1] [21]. However, schools tend to usestakeholders’ information to make changes only at the curricular level or at the course level.These changes impact students
classroom, emphasizingthat community-based learning stands as a powerful tool for students' development. al Makmunand Nuraeni (2018) demonstrated that community projects effectively improved student’scommunication, social awareness, and leadership skills, further supporting the positive impact ofcommunity-based projects on students’ holistic development. Moreover, the benefits ofcommunity-based projects extend beyond students to faculty members. Wagner et al. (2015)emphasized that engagement in learning communities provides faculty members withopportunities to collaborate with colleagues, foster positive relationships with learners, anddevelop a sense of connectedness with their academic institution.

establishing an undergraduate researchframework. Approximately 200 students are enrolled in the four undergraduate-only engineeringprograms.The IE program at QU, consisting of 45 students, follows a project-based curriculum where eachIE course culminates in a real-world project. Over a 15-week semester, students engage in hands-on learning during the first 12 weeks, followed by two weeks dedicated to final projectsinvolving client site visits. In the 15th week, students present their analyses andrecommendations, forwarding the final report to the industry partner.The alignment of the university's strategic emphasis on sustainability, community impact, andindustry partnerships with SCE's collaborative approach sets the stage for an

Therefore, it is crucial forengineering students to get involved in the complexities of interacting with people whenimplanting Lean, to correctly develop their skills in continuous improvement.However, a common limitation for students that are learning Lean Manufacturing is the lack ofexposure to real situations in which Lean is being implemented, such as practices in laboratories,participation in real-world experiences or access to available processes, where implementing leantools and measuring the impact on KPI’s is taking place [3].Attending this urgent need of students to participate in real life process, in Tecnologico deMonterrey, we have designed a course named “Design of

One more cohort of teachers in Summer 2024 will participatein this NSF RET program.NSF RET Background and Implementation A primary goal of the NSF RET program is to encourage early engagement in research tostrengthen the pipeline of domestically developed STEM research:https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/research-experiences-teachers-engineering-computer.The RET program seeks to achieve this goal by building relationships between universityresearchers and K-12 teachers, where a requirement of the RET program is the creation of lessonplans that teachers present in their classes, to stimulate students’ interest in STEM
technology in Lean Systems Engineering Technologycourses at the University of Kentucky as a means to facilitate student learning of continuousimprovement applications within manufacturing. The application of continuous improvementtechniques is a core competency for engineering students interested in a career in manufacturing.Employers place a high value on these skills with the aim of optimizing product quality andprocess efficiency in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace. In this paper, theauthors will discuss the design, implementation, and student feedback of a VR-based educationalmodule developed to immerse engineering students in a virtual manufacturing environment. Inthis VR environment, students will engage in hands-on
information and procedures but knowledgeacquisition and skill development using creative techniques, where one learns through creatingan artifact. Creative learning does not have systematic guidance for educators, which can lead tostudents feeling dismissed or discouraged when sharing their creative work and potentiallyabandoning their creative aspirations [16]. To further understand this impact, there is a need tounderstand why it is that students “create” in the first place, that is, what is the student’smotivation. “Without the right kind of motivation, creativity is nearly impossible” [17].Motivation can be categorized into two types: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivationaccording to most literature is the motivation to accomplish a task

The first iteration of the courseincluded research readings and in-class discussions on the future of work systems andimplications for workers, case studies from industry discussing the implementation of AI andother technology, and the impacts on workers, guest speakers from industry who are engaged indigital transformation, two in-class debates on the future of work topics, and a pitch presentationwhere students propose innovative ideas on how future work systems should be designed.Research Readings and In-Class DiscussionsThe in-class discussion was structured by

the learner has a low expectation of success, their motivation to learndeteriorates [19]. The active involvement of students in the learning process is essential to accomplish the assignedtasks [8]. When students are disengaged due to lack of communication, absence of both empathy andinclusion, and when they are poorly committed to a common goal, and fail to plan their work, conflictsarise. Researchers have found that conflicts weaken team cohesiveness[8], halts innovation during theideation phase [22], and may lead to social loafing [7]. Working in a team is not just an assignment, it isan experience that students live through and acquire. Student performance on a team can be improvedwhen propre knowledge and guidance are delivered by

students at the epicenter of their learning journey[1][2]. PBL's roots can be traced back to the mid-20th century with the ideas of educationalphilosopher John Dewey. Dewey advocated for learning through experience and hands-onactivities, emphasizing the importance of connecting classroom knowledge to real-worldapplications [3]. In the 21st century, PBL has become increasingly integrated into educationalreform efforts globally. The emphasis on 21st-century skills such as critical thinking,communication, collaboration, and creativity has fueled the adoption of PBL as an effectivemethodology to develop these competencies [4]. The widespread availability and use oftechnology in education has further facilitated the implementation of [5]. Digital

, we wanted to introduce an element of civic engagement andcommunity service. As engineers, they are part of a community in which they are impartingsolutions to make the world a better place. However, the current curriculum doesn’t put it intopractice. One of the areas that there are definite deficiencies is recruiting students fromunderrepresented populations. Most engineering schools have less than 25% female students. Ina study published by the US Department of Education, only 21.3% of conferred engineeringdegrees were awarded to women [2]. There are cultural barriers and an inherent bias in the fieldagainst women [3]. This is further noted in a study presented in 2003 women did not seethemselves as engineers and their view of engineering

However, when ISE alumnigraduate from a traditional learning model, they find it hard to execute the concepts toreal-world problems. As a result, there is a lack of credibility in the current education sys-tem [4]. Faced with this situation, a change is expected in the teaching-learning process.Therefore, students should develop disciplinary and transversal competencies.

, Services, and Systems: Infusing the Entrepreneurial Mindset in Undergraduate and Graduate Industrial Engineering Training AbstractA typical IE course in sustainability engineering introduces students to engineering design,manufacturing, supply, and systems aspects while highlighting global sustainability, energymanagement, and life cycle analysis. Although such courses provide students with theknowledge required to assess the environmental impacts of existing products, services, andsystems, they suffer from a few common weaknesses: (1) they focus more on analysis and muchless on front-end design of environmentally sound products; (2) in many IE curricula, these areonly elective

, testing them iteratively, and effectively showing the results [4],[7].An emphasis on the design process is already an essential part of undergraduate engineeringeducation. However, current approaches to teaching engineering design are largely centeredaround the development of a physical artifact. It is discussed that engineering design’s potentialto be used as a mechanism for struggling with the ambiguity embedded in data-driven problemsis very unexploited. As part of addressing data-driven problems, engineering students will needto comprehend the contextual elements surrounding data sets, deal with insufficient information,and deal with problems that have several acceptable answers. They must be able to select thebest analytical technique for

To address this problem, our analysis will focus on 24 Chicagoland restaurants to determine the validity of the current back-of-house storage model, analyze potential misordering in restaurants, and quantify how many resources [Client A] is misallocating due to non-optimal ordering to provide value-creating recommendations.Case Study #2: Communicate the Problem BetterEven if a student team has an elegant solution, they still need to explain the problem clearly tothe IE instructors assessing their work. The efficacy, value, and impact of a solution is likely tobe questioned or inadequately assessed by the instructors if the problem is not explained clearly.We saw an instance of inadequate
impact of ECP on students' curiosity levels. Throughpre- and post-assessment surveys, it was observed that students exposed to ECP demonstrated amarked increase in their interest in exploring complex industrial engineering concepts.Moreover, class observation results indicated a heightened sense of engagement and participationduring classroom sessions.In conclusion, experiment-centric pedagogy offers a promising approach to enhancing curiosityin industrial engineering undergraduates. This innovative teaching methodology not only ignitesstudents' interest in the subject matter but also equips them with critical thinking skills necessaryfor success in the dynamic field of industrial engineering.
