Summary and Conclusions: The Total Quality Improvement course taught in the Industrial Engineering and Management Systems department at the University of Central Florida provides a valuable opportunity for the graduate students to learn and apply the Six Sigma tools and DMAIC problem solving approach. This paper described three Six Sigma tools, Voice of the Customer, Design of Experiments, and Benchmarking that the students applied to help organizations improve their processes. This course helps engineers learn and apply state of the art principles and techniques and gain critical thinking and

Future directions include thedevelopment of GEOPort, an individual and team work documentation tool. This will transformGEO from a registration and communication tool into an education research tool. Teammembers will be able to post text, pictures, or video in response to instructor-posted materials,and to document their progress on projects and assignments. Rubrics can be developed to gradeonline submissions, and to track student approaches to design, problem-solving, and teamdynamics.IntroductionGEO (General Engineering Online) is a web-based software system

among Construction Management StudentsThe development of effective strategies in preventing work accidents in the construction industryis an important topic not only for the industry sector but also for higher education programs. Thecurrent literature supports the view that training is a major factor in sustaining and improvingsafety performance. Particularly, learning is an important dimension of training. Traditionalstudents, due to their youth and inexperience, often believe that they are invincible and thataccidents will not happen to them.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Economic and Life Cycle Analysis of Renewable Energy SystemsAbstractRenewable energy resources such as wind and solar are playing increasingly important role inpresent and future energy scenarios of both developed and developing countries. For example,the installed wind energy in the United States increased from 12 GW in 2006 to 47 GW in 2011averaging 30% increase over the five year period. Over the same period, global wind energycapacity has increased from 74 GW to 238 GW. Engineering students and future engineers, whowill be involved in making decisions on design and implementation of these renewable energysystems, require knowledge of
