track of the cutting edge of technology can help students gain an understandingof available options. Other suggestions for ways that IE students can gain this understanding areto find out what companies need and then take the appropriate technical electives to meet theseneeds and to learn from professional groups and from jobs. Two mid-program students wouldlike the department to offer tracks, minors, or specialties, such as computer science ormanufacturing. Knowing about these tracks would help perspective students and others to seehow diverse IE is and might attract more students. Even though IE is so small, it could work incoordination with other departments (pooling resources) so that it would not have to teach all thecourses in a

Skills are a set of abilities which are used to find a solution to a problem. These can be such skills as brainstorming (creativity) to application of tools (using software correctly and appropriately). 1. This outcome can be assessed by a number of courses. 2.
