Virtual Industrial SystemTo address the challenges and opportunities presented by applying new technology in theclassroom, we are developing a set of web-based learning systems for undergraduate courses inmanufacturing and logistics within Industrial Engineering. This set of systems is embodied inthe Virtual Industrial System, which provides a generic software framework for the learningsystems. As envisioned, the VIS provides a platform to teach students about the application ofengineering methodology to real world problems using computational models. In doing so, theVIS exposes the students to large datasets and realistic problems, the kind that they will find in

In fact, activities are substantial enough such that they cannotbe completed in one class period (the course meets two times per week for 1 hour and 55 minuteseach time) and their completion almost always requires students to meet outside of class. Fur-thermore, along with team-work, computer tools and a written report are essential elements ofany activity. Students are not “taken by the hand” as they work their way through each activity.In fact, we try to make the process of completing each activity to be as “real-world” as we canmake it. In this sense, the students are the active element in their education and the instructorplays the role of listener, mentor, and advisor.Within

Thus the question becomes what kind of supportive strategy workswell in a real-world environment.Supportive StrategiesThree common supportive strategies are discussed in the literature. The first, a professionallearning community (PLC), focuses on creating a school climate that ensures all students learn.11Although this strategy is common in K-12 school reform, it appears to be uncommon in highereducation, at least within STEM disciplines.The second supportive strategy is a community of practice.

necessary to implement curriculum changes [12]. This is challenging for any discipline tothoroughly incorporate, and all the more challenging for engineering programs which have somany technical components that are necessary for accreditation. Arguably, the best way toapproach this is to reconsider how the standard engineering curriculum can be taught alongsideimplementing or highlighting the cultural competencies that naturally go hand-in-hand withvarious units. This could range from teaching a brief history of marginalized voices that are leftout of the conversation, bringing in guest speakers from various community backgrounds, andgetting students to learn via diverse, real world experiences.This implementation aligns with the push for

Discussions of ethics are almost inevitable when you put things in the real context, things only become devoid of moral component when they’re viewed in isolation. When you get something to where it’s only this tiny narrow piece of the world that you’re looking at a time that you’re able to recognize it as something that does not have morality tied into it, and you have it in a broader context and you see how it’s going to impact the world, then I think, like I said, it falls very naturally to it [statistics
