ethical aspects ofengineering projects. Educators are recognizing that material science and engineering coursescan be a particularly good venue for case studies considering the many applications acrossengineering disciplines. Kathleen L. Kitto of Western Washington University points out that,because of the interdisciplinary nature of material science and engineering, introductory materialscience can be a challenge to teach. She has used case studies and other active learningtechniques to enhance student learning and interest [5]. At the USCGA, most graduates of theEngineering Material Science course will serve either in the Naval Engineering, Marine Safety,or Aviation Programs as Coast Guard Officers. As such, the use of Coast Guard case

The objective is to ensure thatsystems design and development decision problems include security in parallel with theimportance of cost, efficiency, and safety. So the question is how do we integrate homelandsecurity into the IE curriculum? The proposed plan for accomplishing this is to selectively infuse homeland security andrelated topics and applications into core courses where it makes sense, and implement a newcourse in security based IE design.4.1 Security Skills for Practicing IE’sThe basic undergraduate core industrial engineering program today ranges

The strength of an industry appears highly correlated to the strength of the scienceand engineering knowledge in that industry [1]. So a strong link between our educationalprograms and the industries we serve must be nurtured. We must first understand industry needsbefore we can develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values our students require to besuccessful. Without this understanding, the likely result is a skills gap which can cause juniorengineers to struggle when attempting to secure their first job.
