. government sciences and technology programs have been dominated by two overriding concerns: basic research and support for specific national missions, such as national security and health. Largely as a result of this concentrated federal effort, American science has enjoyed an era of unprecedented excellence … In many ways, the federal government has failed to adapt its policies to the new, market-driven model of innovation. Considerable evidence suggests that America is failing to commercialize the kinds and quality of technology that the market demands.”8) U.S. industry must rebuild its in-house innovative engineering capacity and its leadership capacity to stimulate technological innovation to sustain economic competitiveness for

The objective is to ensure thatsystems design and development decision problems include security in parallel with theimportance of cost, efficiency, and safety. So the question is how do we integrate homelandsecurity into the IE curriculum? The proposed plan for accomplishing this is to selectively infuse homeland security andrelated topics and applications into core courses where it makes sense, and implement a newcourse in security based IE design.4.1 Security Skills for Practicing IE’sThe basic undergraduate core industrial engineering program today ranges

Moreover, the emergence of “big data” across many engineering disciplines has led to the need for training and education related to the collection,management, and analysis of “big data”. We develop an interdisciplinary, active learning module for First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs that combines content from civil, electrical, andcomputer engineering while also familiarizing students with “big data” science. In this learning module, students compare and contrast the challenges of gathering comprehensive and qualitytransportation data through advanced technologies and traditional approaches.
