discuss the implications ofPLM systems in classroom dynamics, curriculum and grading.IntroductionThis paper builds on the idea that the implementation of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)system in an introductory level freshman course can provide students with key competencies tosucceed in today’s complex design engineering environments. Being exposed to PLM systemsearly and in the context of entry level modeling courses allows students to become familiar withPLM concepts and how PLM systems are an integral part of modern design processes. Studentsentering the workforce will have a firm understanding of the various stages and changes aproduct goes through during its lifecycle and how PLM and CAD are not mutually exclusive, butcomplementary to

Learning the logic of Construction Management and managing itsaccompanying risks at the undergraduate level is very difficult because of lack of fieldexperience.

Figure 1: Two phases of creativity [8].The study of creativity in engineering education is becoming increasingly popular, but it tends tobe associated with courses on design (and there, only in idea generation) [9]. Likewise, there areonly a few short courses specifically focused on engineering leadership (e.g., EngineeringLeadership at MIT [10] and Leadership Development for Engineers at Rice University [11]), andeven fewer of these courses make creativity a specific focus (e.g., LJMU’s Leadership Skillsmodule).

It is a vitaltopic that every engineering management student needs to understand because it is at the heart ofthe creation of wealth for business and the improvement in the living standard of citizens of allcountries [1]. Operations Management has been listed as a core course in the managementscience and engineering programs all around the world [3]. This course usually covers broadareas such as process analysis, quality and performance

partnership with broader constituencies (managers,technicians, end users, among others). And while all engineering educational programs requirestudent teamwork, instruction on effective and inclusive teaming practices is only occasional,and if present, the outcomes are rarely assessed. The efforts described in this paper around thedevelopment and implementation of inclusive teaming instruction were enabled to a great extentby our broader university- and college-level contexts. Moreover, we leveraged the support of theunit-level REvolutionize Engineering and Computer Science Departments (RED) initiatives andthe changes to ABET programmatic assessment criteria. In this section, we situate this discussionwithin local institutional efforts as well as

Dr. Giancola’s current work focuses on developing methodological processes to embed evaluation into human services programs, such that program development can be driven by reliable and valid information and impact findings can be properly interpreted.
