We discuss what we have learned to date and the strengths and weaknesses of themethods we have tried. We discuss a web-based software tool for curriculum management that iscurrently under development. The software will enable us to manage curriculum to insure that allattributes are being developed and to maximize integration across courses. It will help provideconsistency in instruction, will be a complete repository of the curriculum that can be accessed atany time

Quickly changing technologies and economic factors require education that isagile and creative. Establishing a new curriculum is often difficult due to procedural steps,limited resources and internal politics. Once in place, it needs to maintain technical currency aswell as attractiveness to the student and employer.This paper presents a history documenting the birth of a unique degree program and itssubsequent evolution to remain effective in a very dynamic and technical world.

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

However,interaction with business students rarely occurs before the senior year, if then. This deficiencyprevents the development of a key skill required for industrial engineering practice. This paper describes two innovative approaches to experientially teach multidisciplinaryproblem solving to teams of engineering and business students. Both approaches allow theinteractions to occur earlier in the curriculum. The first approach is through class partnering.Such partnering emulates more long term interdisciplinary efforts such as design teams andconfiguration
