topics are those that cover heat transfer, solidification, and stresses in welds.They are building blocks repeated throughout the rest of the course to explain origins of variousdefects and method of their prevention, to justify basic principles of weldment design, as well asto explain weldability of various materials and why certain measures are needed in order to maketheir welding possible. This list of topics is obviously so broad that it calls for at least three coursesin order to give them enough attention.Students are recommended a few monographs, as well as a set of the AWS Welding Handbook,but none of them is required to successfully complete the course. Instead, over one hundred andfifty scientific and technical papers are posted on the

. Arebuzzwords unique to our profession, i.e., industrial engineering? Does a new buzzword inindustrial engineering fundamentally alter the content of what we teach or should teach inour courses? In this paper, we will first attempt to answer questions such as the ones posedabove. We believe that answering such questions and studying these issues cansignificantly benefit our community. Coming up with these answers may also help aninstructor uncertain of whether the use of buzzwords is appropriate in teaching. We willmake every attempt to develop an objective understanding of the numerous issuessurrounding this topic. In particular, we will characterize the roots and origins of severalbuzzwords that are being used or have been used in industrial
