ergonomics. Fraser’s 121 credit hour “generic”plan of study, which she feels describes most IE programs, includes two related courses: threecredit hours of “work methods” and three credit hours of “human factors.” Some portion of theseIE programs require only one three-credit-hour course that covers both work methods and humanfactors topics. IE programs may also offer advanced topics in ergonomics that are available aselectives to undergraduate students. There is also a subset of IE undergraduate programs thathave no required courses in these areas; Fraser’s numbers indicate that this is only about 10% ofABET accredited IE programs.Under the premise that ergonomics is an important subject in an undergraduate IE education, theinitial goal of this

There is muchresearch and discussion on the topic, but most educators generally agree that studentslearn best anything that they experience themselves as well as normally do repetitively.Many engineering educators have homework, design projects, and mid-term exams, andmany times topics are tested again on a final exam. This process allows the student tofirst wrestle with the concept at their own pace in a homework assignment where theycan collaborate with others before being asked to test their skills within a timed eventsuch as an exam. Learning by doing is the primary basis behind the growth of project-based learning (PBL) opportunities.4 Some programs

Based on the freshman population, there are typically 14-28 different seminar topicsand 18-23 sections with approximately 20 students per section.
