primary focus is to broaden the development of an engineering student of Junior orSenior standing. One might even term our motive as developing a ‘liberal engineering studies’ emphasis.The pedagogical focus is on breadth rather than depth, and on cross-curricular education.The talk will summarize our experience in teaching this course over the past eight years as a full 3-creditcourse and as a module in a multi-unit course over a three week period. Assessment includes studentsurveys and comparison of their assessment of this course with other traditional disciplinary courses.IntroductionWith the advent of significant fundamental advances in biosciences, increasing number ofproducts, particularly therapeutic biologics are manufactured using

Visualizing in two and three space and making sketches anddrawings are part of the design process. It is also an important part of elementary schoolmathematics.The design can be guided through the use of a design portfolio. This is much more than acollection of student work; it provides a design process framework for the student as well asdocumenting key points of the process. The design project is developed to solve a problemwhose genesis is often found in another area of the curriculum, such as reading, science, orsocial studies. This provides the context for

fundamental reason to gain a college education is to make yourself more desirablefor future employment. Whether it’s fair or not, the first filter an employer uses is level ofeducation. This directly relates to how MOOCs need to establish credibility in the market place.For employers to compete and hire the best talent, employers are looking for a broader educatedstudent. Best stated by a Hart Research Associate study conducted for The Association ofAmerican Colleges and Universities:"Employers believe that college graduates need to develop both a broad range of skills andknowledge and in-depth knowledge and skills that apply to a specific field or position." 22This “broad range” includes other criteria such as; teamwork, leadership, entrepreneur

) the system being studied is always a subsystem of a larger system and these interactions must also be considered; and (3) systems include humans. The word “system” is a caution against sub-optimization of the larger system through optimization of a subsystem. Because Industrial Engineering academic departments often include a wide range of areas (physical and cognitive human factors, manufacturing processes, operations research, engineering management, etc.), the word “systems” often appears to be an attempt to be inclusive. Also, some think that the word “industrial” doesn’t include the full range of what industrial engineers do. “Industrial and systems engineering” can apply to service companies, hospitals, insurance, etc

Duringthe1960’s, 70’s and, to some extend, the1980’s, Fortran was the only language withscientific functions.
