Basically, the programs sharethe offering and introduce simple concepts of quality through courses like Probability andStatistics, and Manufacturing Processes. Some of the programs go further and include SPC andsimilar introductory topics.As a faculty member in an Engineering Technology Department, a Six Sigma certified at theMaster Black Belt level, and with years of experience training industrial professionals in SixSigma, I studied the curriculum and analyzed quality components of existing programs. Thisanalysis concluded that the abstract approach that most of the graduates have been throughduring their college education did not help to establish a link to the

Collective System Design is an integrative course for the SystemsEngineering Curriculum at Southern Methodist University. Students apply the CollectiveSystem Design methodology to design a sustainable lean manufacturing system as part of an in-class physical system design and simulation workshop. The students then apply CollectiveSystem Design within their own work environments. The result of the new system design is toidentify both hard savings and soft savings that show up on the bottom line for their company.Collective System Design uses a logic framework that defines the

Itis this School of Systems and Enterprises that embarked upon the addition of a new undergraduateprogram in Industrial and Systems Engineering and will graduate its first students in May of 2020.This Stevens ISE program’s objective is to provide a rigorous general engineering undergraduateeducation, with depth in both industrial and systems engineering topics focusing on data, in orderto nurture technical leaders of tomorrow who will be able to engineer, develop, and maintainincreasingly complex systems with cross-discipline content and socio-technical systemdimensions.The curriculum is designed to teach the student many skills. The goal of the curriculum’s designis not just to teach students to think about the ways in which technology
ofengineering is tasked with maintaining its innovativeness by promoting and nurturing creativitywithin the profession, without having the appropriate tools to do so [19-21]. Despite theseunfortunate circumstances, recent studies have demonstrated that when creativity ismethodologically inserted in the engineering curriculum or other skill-based training programs,students are able to apply it immediately and in the long-term.[9] For instance, within thecorporate world, the idea of creativity training has gained recent significant attention due to itsability to enhance worker performance in organizations [32] and impact economic developmentin cities [33, 34]. For example, the integration of creativity-based approaches into systematicprocesses resulted

Therefore, it is imperative that the chemicalengineering community develops a curriculum to support a graduate who is well grounded,innovative, progressive, and adaptable.Most well known among the impetus for change is the “New

The stable point provides current, voltage, power input, andspeed in rpm. From these

The adoptionof Technology Criteria 2000 (commonly referred to as TC2K), drastically changed thefocus of accreditation to the outputs of a program; i.e. what students are capable of doing.The change from accreditation based on program topics to outcomes based

Until 2008, the architectural engineering program was mainly orientedtoward HVAC system design. In 2009, however, the first 5000 level course in mechanical optionwas taught during the fall semester. The fourth major change was accomplished in 2009 andwill be in application starting from 2010-2011. Three areas have been introduced to thecurriculum: Energy, Fire protection, Plumbing, and Building Electrical Systems. The courseprerequisite system has also been improved.The new Program Curriculum (starting from fall 2010):The Program’s aim is to meet the
requirements as five-yearprograms compared to four-year programs. Regarding ABET, all programs comply with thesemester hour count in the three areas required: general (one semester), mathematics and science(one year), and engineering (one an one-half years). It is the hope of the author that this discussionwill start a national dialog regarding the requirements for the architectural engineering programsin the US. It appears that the four year curriculum is serving the architectural community well;however, with the new national movement in engineering to move to the Masters Degree (orequivalent 30+ graduate hours) as the first professional degree, it might reasonable to assume thatthe five year programs already meet this criterion.

It builds on a partnered approach to curriculum development,research, community engagement and design. The Peace Engineering program at Drexelprepares engineers to work as better partners in complex situations like conflict zones, fragilenations or post-disaster regions, and to incorporate conflict sensitivity into their work.
