industry change moretimely than the fundamental courses.The department’s connection with industry also set up a channel for students to exploreinternship opportunities, which is required for their graduation. The IAB members are invited tovisit our classroom frequently and interact with students directly. Their presentations givestudents an insight to what industry is looking for. It’s worth mentioning that this connection isalso set up at school level [1] and university level [2] collaborated with the department,providing students multiple but consistent channels to industry. In addition, donation from thelocal industry helps upgrade the NIT laboratory with cutting-edge equipment.In summary, the industry has provided the new program with various

Although the newABET criteria has increased the flexibility to develop a responsive and adaptivecurriculum, developing value added curriculum remains a significant challenge. Torespond to this challenge, Industrial Engineering has incorporated a modular approach tocourses in the
studies are nowavailable for educators for adaptation and also possible direct use in the classroom. Several ofthese case studies have both engineering and management problems embedded within the casestudy. Successful classroom applications of these and other case studies developed by expertshave received some attention in recent engineering literature. However, the dissemination of thisinformation at the national level has been rather sparse and there is an urgent need to remedy thissituation for the benefit of faculty and students alike.As the concepts of collaborative engineering and product life cycle analysis become moreprevalent in industry, the engineering technologist today has more opportunities to be engaged innew product design and

FLATE’s leadership identified national manufacturing day as a way to bring its many statewide partners and collaborators as well as other divergent, but related groups across the state together for a common “cause” (event). FLATE has been organizing and implementing discrete student manufacturing tours since 2006, and saw Manufacturing Day as a way to really amplify its efforts using a
control loops that ensure safe operation. The other problem is an industrial safety problem which occurred in a urea plant that caused a considerable damage to the unit. In this exercise a description of the urea process, its components and flowsheet, operating conditions and safety audit are given to the groups. They are asked to discuss the case as a team to identify the components and the design that caused the problem and how to overcome it in a better process design. These case studies are discussed in class in a collaborative learning environment 2 which provides the students with

The comparisons of each system allowstudents to determine the application of the system within a larger scale model withinmanufacturing and industrial facilities. The established principle is to reduce costs as to maintainhigh standards of reducing emissions output. The electrolyzer and reversible fuel cell are tested tomaintain this principle within a hybrid system. The final hybrid experiment is a simulated hybridcar system. The system involves the collection of energy through photovoltaics and energy storagethrough an electrolyzer to fuel cell. The load is applied after hydrogen
requests, an Introduction to Sustainable Engineering course hasbeen developed in the Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering at the University ofArkansas. The class has been structured as a three credit-hour elective for upper-levelundergraduate and graduate students. The course has been taught for two semesters, and it hasbeen approved to count toward the university-level minor in Sustainability. As an introductorycourse, it exposes students to a broad range of topics in the field and prepares them forsubsequent sustainability courses. An emphasis is placed on real-world applications across thethree pillars of sustainability through interdisciplinary collaboration, industry speakers, and casestudies. Key components of the course

short, problem-based courses with low enrollment (2-5 students) do not map conveniently to the traditional teaching schedule of faculty, they canprovide a unique opportunity for service both to students and to the university, especially insummer semesters. In addition, the National Academy of Engineering has recognizedexperiential learning which involves solving open- ended problems that are complex and illstructured as a critical competency for engineers in the 21st century.This paper describes the design of a special problem course in which we use the case method toteach industrial engineering technology students nonlinear integer programming, while providinga collaborative learning experience in solving a simulated real world problem.

The College of Businessand the College of Engineering each bring strengths to the implementation of the theme.The College of Business has been charged to provide business education to other academic units,especially those with a strong technology focus, so that the University can build capacity andsuccess in transferring knowledge and research to various industries and to develop start-upcompanies.3 The College of Engineering is collaborating with the College of Business throughthe Austin Entrepreneurship Program.

projects all involve designing WorldWide Web sites, which might range from an on-line lottery for campus housing, to Web-basedsupport for the university's new human resources software package, to a Web-based alternative toNorthwestern's current course evaluation system. During the second quarter, projects are morebroadly defined and often address community or industry needs. Students have designed newplayground equipment, a new storage system for a nearby elementary school, and a toy fordisabled children.For the past three years, we have been piloting EDC to increasingly large groups of freshmen,and we will complete our scale-up in 1998-99, when we teach the course to the entire freshmanengineering class (approximately 320 students).

They citedreasons such as “Teamwork is valued by industry,” “discipline [surveying] requires it.” Twopointed out interpersonal and pedagogical benefits: teamwork “facilitates bonding” betweenstudents, especially at the freshman level, and groups can result in “increased learning forstudents and instructors.” Only one faculty member uses groups because it is less work for theinstructor, and very few use groups because collaboration is a popular pedagogical technique orbecause ABET 2000 lists multidisciplinary teams as a criterion. Four faculty use groupsbecause of a resources shortage, so students perform their lab experiments as teams or smallgroups. This is the only time these four instructors include group work.OIT instructors tend to
