Hands-on activities based coursemodules were developed and implemented into three graduate level courses, including modifyingtwo existing courses and developing one new course. Since the three courses are not requiredcourses in the Industrial Engineering M.S. program, a new graduate level certificate program wasalso developed [4] consisting the three courses to attract more graduate students to take the threecourses. We conducted student surveys to collect their feedback on the effectiveness of thecourse modules, and their changes on the knowledge related to engineering standards andstandardization in manufacturing related materials and quality control

Typically, projects are proposed bycorporate sponsors, frequently employers of the students or corporations looking for answers to aproblem through the lead faculty (faculty in charge of program). As a result, students deal withreal problems of significant issue to the sponsor and typically involve engineering, technology,science, and business related issues. Interdisciplinary teams of two to three students are assignedto each project. These teams work with faculty members and representatives of the sponsors todevelop detailed, implementable solutions.
