This paperhighlights the integration of ethics into an existing, traditional industrial engineeringundergraduate course at the senior level. In particular, we show how traditional optimizationassignments can be reformulated to blend mathematics and ethics. Therefore, we do not followthe path of developing an independent, elective course that focuses on ethical issues.Furthermore, integration of ethics is not performed through case studies on which students canreflect on their own experiences. Instead, we embed ethical issues in traditional industrialengineering knowledge. In this way, ethical conflicts reveal themselves

Once they saw the problem, many of the top executives agreed to participate in the formation of an External Advisory Council to see how, collectively, we might be able to reverse the downward spiral of entering freshmen. In our case, we also asked several well-known top industry and academic leaders from around the nation to join the Council, and we were fortunate to obtain an affirmative response from all we invited.3) Developing “Headliner” Scholarships: The first step of the Council was to help our department develop a “headliner

During the exam, a student cannot find the needed information in the Competency Assignment fast enough for it to be helpful unless he/she has actually done the assignment. They thus realize that although they have a team member, they themselves must also do their fair share of the work.4. Students learn the importance of preparing their Competency Assignment neatly, using readily available computer tools, because it will be much easier for them to find needed information during exams, and also because it will be judged by one of their peers

He saw designthinking as creating ‘the desired state of affairs [1, pp. 210],’ which can be applied to the areaslike engineering, management, and economics. Ever since Herbert [1] first discussed the notionof design thinking, researchers have sought to validate the nature of design thinking in a diversecontext. In an engineering
