. The challenge was to implement a qualityeducational program subject to the constraints of being a rural university and lack of namerecognition.The key to the success of the accreditation effort was to create a process that demonstratedcompliance with ABET criteria while also targeting the constraints of the problem. A team offaculty, called the Engineering Physics Oversight Committee (EPOC) was established to developand implement the process. A management plan was also developed describing the division ofresponsibility amongst the team as well as the implementation of an external advisory board.TrainingIt was very important to attend sessions and review literature related to ABET accreditation.

Technologies into the Industrial Engineering CurriculumAbstractIncorporation of powerful “scripting languages” in engineering modeling software is becomingincreasingly common. Unfortunately, while most engineering curricula include one or twoprogramming-related courses at the freshman and/or sophomore level, students generally showweak computer programming skills when they reach the core curriculum courses. This projectseeks to develop an innovative set of classroom modules involving computer programming foruse throughout the Industrial Engineering curriculum. The modules are in response to our beliefthat the main cause of the problem is not the specific material covered in the computerprogramming courses but the lack of
