Experiential education may also be useful,in which “real world” situations are incorporated in the classroom, possibly including workingwith real clients, up to and including internship opportunities where available. Studentorganizations can provide leadership opportunities. While these are suggestions, the area is ripefor further research to evaluate the effectiveness of these and other techniques.Noll and Wilkins (2002) propose in their Information System curriculum 8 core skills requiredfor all concentrations. These core skills are: a) Knowledge of business functional areas; b)Ability to interpret business problems and develop appropriate technical solution; c) Ability tounderstand the

Further, the course at Rowan has always been team-taught by atenure track faculty member and an adjunct faculty member with an industry background,in order to ensure that problems are genuinely reflective of engineering practice. Despitethese facts, the capstone design course cannot realistically be the sole vehicle forassessing achievement of programmatic objectives.

, engineering economics, human factors, facility layout, scheduling,logistics, design and manufacturing of products, simulation, and most recently, Lean andSix Sigma methodologies. When we discuss the topics of Lean and Six Sigma we findthat all of the core concepts are already being taught within most IET and IT programs asmany educators will eagerly argue. This results in little curriculum changes required toincorporate these ‘new’ Industrial Engineering topics.Possibly a more important change to IET and IT curriculum that can capitalize on thenatural incorporation of Lean and Six Sigma is addressing the issue that the practice ofindustrial engineering (which shares many of the same core concepts as IET and ITprograms) has broadened beyond the
program.According to Kolb [1], students learn best if they are exposed to a four steps/axes learningcycle/spirals, namely, 1- experiencing (concrete experience), 2- watching (reflective observation),3- thinking/modeling (abstract conceptualization), and 4- applying/doing (active experimentation).Various engineering education programs, such as mechanical, industrial, manufacturing, and civilengineering, adopted this learning cycle into their curriculum [2]–[6]. Many educational institutions have implemented robots of some kind, e.g. industrial robotarms, mobile robots, educational robot kits, etc. to support their science and engineering program[2]–[4].

federal support towards nanotechnology research and developmentsince 2001.1 In the last 20 years, research and development in this space has led to a number ofrevolutions in electronics, photovoltaics, manufacturing, medicine and much more. One of theprimary goals of this federal funding, as described by the inter-governmental body, theCommittee on Technology Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology(NSET), has been to develop educational resources that will ultimately lead to a skilledworkforce who will continually advance the state of the art of nanotechnology.This study explores the impact of one summer’s implementation of an NSF-funded ResearchExperiences for Teachers professional development K-12 program designed towards
students. Theexperience described in this paper began a few years ago when I was teaching an IndustrialMaterials course. This course was taken by students in our Mechanical Engineering Technology,Construction Technology, and Manufacturing Technology programs. Various techniques wereused to show the students the application of the course material to common mechanical devicesthey might encounter in their daily experiences and to garner student buy-in to the course. Oneof these techniques included giving extra credit to students that brought in failed/broken parts sothat they could be examined by the class. Another technique that was used was to assignstudents material-related topics to research and then prepare a presentation on their topic to
