engineering curricula. The advent of ABET’s new engineering criteria, Engineering Criteria 2000 (ABET 2000),will significantly influence future directions in the development of engineering programs. As thenew accreditation criteria begin to take effect, it is important to step back and reflect on thetremendous evolution that has taken place during the decade. This paper presents an overview ofthe curriculum and pedagogy changes that have occurred in the Industrial and ManufacturingEngineering (IME) department at Oregon State University (OSU). A review of the events andfactors that shaped the changes makes it apparent that many people and events shaped asignificant evolution in the undergraduate academic program.Changes to the IME Curriculum

Leder Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Michigan Technological UniversityIntroductionMany civil and environmental engineering students join consulting firms when theygraduate or join later in their career. If they start their careers with a government agencyor contractor they will undoubtedly work with consultants. Many students do notunderstand how a consulting firm operates but are attracted by the business aspects ofconsulting and management. In response to student requests and the opportunity toprovide an introduction to consulting engineering, a three-credit elective course

, the US Air Force imposes extremely high standards and expectations on our programs. Thus most of our masters degree programs are approximately 72 quarter hours long of which 12 hours are devoted solely to thesis research. This gives our students much more breadth and depth than is normally expected for a masters degree. This will become apparent in section III where we discuss curriculum details. The instructional system development (ISD) model shown in figure 1 is the basis for ensuring our curricula is responsive to the needs of the Air Force and other employers of our graduates.

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

But if we dabble in fad- based names that have no historical roots, we will be swept around as the sentiments change.8By explicitly referring to lean ideas as core principles of IE within the core courses of anundergraduate curriculum, students learn that much of lean is a subset of IE. Furthermore, thefaculty are free to add and remove topics to courses as practices and buzzwords change withoutrevamping the curriculum.4 Proposal for a Lean-inclusive CurriculumBefore developing a proposal for a curriculum containing lean, one must first answer thequestion, “Which lean topics are the most important and consistent with IE?” One
