Resources and Administrationfrom the Boeing Company, “Industry, society, and engineering schools can – and should –collaborate to ensure a sufficient number of such qualified and capable engineers to meetindustry and society needs.”2 To meet the needs of both academe and industry, universities areincorporating multidisciplinary student teams to work on industry related capstone projects.Research has shown that multidisciplinary student teams produce better solutions than singledisciplinary teams.3 Past capstone design research surveys confirmed the trend to move fromdepartmental (single disciplinary) teams to multidisciplinary teams.4, 5, 6 Even though there is anincreased interest to offer multidisciplinary teams, multidisciplinary capstone

Session 1357 Engineering Problem Solving in Industrial Engineering Curriculum Reform Sigurdur Olafsson, Veronica Dark, John Jackman, Frank Peters, and Sarah Ryan Iowa State UniversityAbstractProblem solving is a major focus of the engineering profession, and upon graduation newengineers are faced with increasingly complex problems. Yet, existing engineering educationpractices often fall short in preparing students to tackle complex engineering problems that maybe ambiguous, open-ended and ill-structured. In this paper, we describe a newly developedlearning

This contractis an agreement that includes research collaboration, an enhanced recruiting relationship andincreased engagement in Penn State programs [4]. Programs like this have allowed students togain industry exposure and work on industry projects. Traditionally, co-op and internshipexperiences have been a main way to provide students experience that can help in the transitionfrom student to professional while in school. But what of those without the means to acquire suchexperience?

enable monitoring and development of those skills.Following the above motivation, we have identified several elements that we believe areimportant in an IT-based learning environment and we have incorporated these elements into thedevelopment of a new learning environment for industrial engineering. In particular, we believethat the learning environment should: (a) Make connections between the course material andreal-world problems by presenting realistic problem scenarios; (b) Emphasize relationshipsbetween previously isolated parts of the curriculum; (c) Help develop both students’ cognitiveability to structure schemas in industrial engineering knowledge domains and theirmetacognition; (d) Increase active learning and collaborative

Industry partnerships were developed primarily by networking. Most connections in thiscase are established by the institute’s Primary Investigator. The work described above was ableto launch quickly for a few reasons: • The primary extension center is located in Boston, which is world renowned for its number of highly respected healthcare systems. • These systems are all highly engaged with local universities on their own research projects, so a collaborative culture has already been established to a high degree. • The work is very timely, as government funding and penalties are

If such a “marriage” between the two is achieved, the results can be mutually beneficial forboth the parties. The outcome of collaborations include cost effective research for the industrialsponsor, real-world research projects for the faculty member and students, and a well groundedthesis as well as excellent experience for students. All in all, joint university-industry collabora-tive research projects can be viewed as “win-win” situations when initiated and executed in theappropriate fashion.ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors thank the reviewers for their helpful suggestions.BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Professor Thomas

One clear goal for the sponsor is to identify future employees for the company, andthere’s no better means to evaluate a potential employee than to observe a student’s performancein a semester long project. Individual and team relationships are developed between the studentand company sponsor, which in many cases results in full-time employment opportunities uponthe student’s graduation.
