Education, 2017 An Industrial Engineering Design Experience Reflecting upon Moral Development and Well-beingAbstractTypical design projects in the Industrial Engineering (IE) curriculum use a systematic processimprovement methodology to solve problems for the manufacturing or service industries,where students have an opportunity to apply the knowledge gained through coursework in areal-world environment. While these projects are often assessed in terms of technicalefficiency and course outcomes, less often do they assess experiential dimensions, such as thestudents’ reflections on the process, their engagement with the people involved (i.e. workers,users, affected communities), or their commitment towards ethical values and

students’ non-technical skills by developing faculty’sunderstanding and implementation of instructional approaches. For example, the School ofEngineering of the Polytechnic of Porto reported on their efforts to boost students’ non-technicalskills through the implementation of active learning [6]. One study reviewed the promotion andteaching of non-technical skills in higher education across five European countries [7]. Theresearchers grouped skills that engineering students need into five categories: Technical,Metacognitive, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Problem solving. They then presented groupingsof best pedagogical practices that may be integrated into the curriculum, such as problem-basedlearning, project-based learning, game-based

Because making areal connection with the community or client is very important, it is important to select a projectthat allows this contact to occur rather than selecting a “distant” project that may be too timeconsuming or expensive for the students to visit. As curriculum allows, a 2-semester experiencewill have a greater likelihood

Finally, in making estimates, a designer seeks to grasp multiple details of the problem,usually in numerical formats, simultaneously. Making approximations is one way that a designersimplifies variables of the design problem (Linder, 1999), which enables making comparisons andselecting.Overall, in light of this background on selection in design, it is valuable to replicate the study byRaymond et al.

The hypothesis was that a “visual” model that students see being controlled willenable them to explain why theoretical design processes covered in lecture are important.Introduction Several faculty at the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) have adopted the goal to produceMORE BS level graduates who are BETTER qualified at a FASTER rate than ever before. Thisis not to say UTEP graduates are low quality because they are not. UTEP engineering graduatescan be found in the best graduate schools, at high levels in major corporations and nationallaboratories. The MBF goal is a means to drive the curriculum to higher levels of expectation.This paper discusses one component of the MBF strategy, the
