rubrics included four competency levels: beginner, developing,competent, and proficient. The courses, all within Electrical and Computer Engineering, includetwo junior programming courses and a specialized junior-level technical elective. As part of thenew course models, the students were allowed to resubmit their work as often as necessary toachieve an assessment of competency or proficiency. Students could not pass the courses withoutachieving at least competency in each level, and their letter grade was determined by how manytopics in which they achieved proficiency. Thus, it forced students to revisit their quizzes, exams,and assignments and resubmit (and improve) work until they reached a satisfactory assessmentlevel.In this work, we will

model developed by the authors thatencourages students to learn and solve complex problems pertinent to current challenges facing society. Since its beginnings, the IBL model has evolved to improve upon course aspects and processes from previous course iterations [1]–[11]. IBL is currently implemented into a cardiovascular engineering course within four institutions across the United States. This model strives to emphasize freedom and responsibility to students through self-directed learning. In the course, students identify relevant societal problems, form diverse multidisciplinary, multi- institutional teams, and work collaboratively towards innovative solutions. IBL uses an online learning management system (LMS) that was designed and

. Furthermore, the mathematical modeling of the deformation behavior of polymers posesdistinct challenges at the undergraduate level. For example, in mechanical engineeringcurriculum, students are first briefly introduced to the science and engineering of polymers in atwo hundred level course on materials. The subject of mathematical modeling that can be used tosimulate their deformation behavior can only be lightly broached due to the number of othertopics, such as metals, phase diagrams etc., that must also be included in this course. A morebinding constraint is imposed by the level of mathematical sophistication inherent in thesemodels, and the requisite programming skills necessary to conduct a meaningful investigation ofvarious test conditions and

To this extent it is also the purpose of this study toeventually establish a method of designing high-quality online engineering labs that support thenewly established online engineering programs. Thereby, the goal is to achieve a quality ofeducation comparable to what is found in many traditional brick-and-mortar engineering degreeprograms in the form of physical labs, which is also a common requirement for outsideaccreditation. For example, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)requires as one quality criterion that engineering programs link “engineering concepts toengineering application” [45].Traditionally, this condition for quality is achieved by theapplication of principles in the lab.

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A 6S EXPERIENCE IN A MANFACTURING FACILITYABSTRACTGlobalization of science and technology has caused competitive pressures to continue unabatedin manufacturing business. Product prices continue to fall while production costs rise. In order toreduce production costs, some companies look to improved technology, employee layoff, facilityrelocation, etc. The search for operational excellence seems to be more intense with each passingday. Many companies have adopted Lean, Six Sigma or Total Productive Maintenance initiativesfor improving operational effectiveness and efficiency. 5S is a traditional management techniquethat helps organize a workplace by making it clean and free of
