to stay abreast with the continual shifts inindustrial engineering practices, techniques, and applications. The breadth of theindustrial engineering profession uniquely lends itself to a curriculum that offers moreflexibility and choices to its students, as the new curriculum proposal offers. In addition,the additional emphasis on emerging fields within the service sector and in theinformation technology field will make our curriculum more appealing to potentialstudents, and will enrich the education that Penn State IME students receive”.This paper describes the curriculum and its objectives.Basic approaches to curriculum change• Integrate other applications areas (e.g., service processes) into existing courses.• Reorganize required

IntroductionA variety of design courses exist in engineering education. The primary objective of suchcourses is to teach engineering design fundamentals utilizing repeatable design techniques. Themost popular approach to teach undergraduate engineering design is through a structured,problem solving method that students use to tackle open-ended design problems1-4.

introduce different specialization areas in electrical and computer engineering. The need forsuch a course came about as a result of a new ECE curriculum, which emphasized junior andsenior level elective courses to achieve depth in at least one of the ECE specialization areas. Thenew course was intended as a catalyst encouraging the students to consider their interests indifferent ECE specializations as early as possible to help them in choosing their elective courses.At the time, the ECE faculty participating in the development effort for this course was stronglyagainst creating just a survey course, which would most likely lack the rigor of a typicalintroductory course. A consensus was reached to create a course with a strong hardwarelaboratory

Gifford Pinchot coined the term intrapreneur in 1985 to describe this new paradigm ofreleasing the entrepreneurial spirit within an established corporation. Whether the objective is to developindividual entrepreneurs or to inculcate intrapreneurship in a company there is clearly a need for coursessuch as Montana Tech’s PET 4460.One of the objectives of Montana Tech's interdisciplinary course, PET 4460, Petroleum ProjectEvaluation, is to introduce senior-level petroleum engineering students to the concept ofentrepreneurship by exposing the students to the "big picture" of how their engineering

noformal course where the students are asked to investigate failures, examine ways toimprove processes, as well as to apply the engineering analysis skills so typical in theformal design process. Therefore the strategy implemented was to target these conceptsin all the courses throughout the curriculum. The students are constantly reminded thatdesign is fundamental to all forms of engineering and engineering technology. Designdoes bring realistic applications into the curriculum and as such can help students pullfundamental technical concepts together and adequately bridge the gap from theory toapplication.

Maskless writing techniques, including electron-beam direct writing3,4, ion-beamdirect writing5, X-ray lithography6,7, and laser direct writing8,9, are alternate polymer waveguidefabrication approaches. Due to their high operation cost, first three maskless technologies are notsuitable for teaching purpose. This paper presents a simple and inexpensive polymer opticalwaveguide fabrication approach, i.e. Laser Direct Writing (LDW), developed for our ELET 5320(Introduction to Telecommunications) course. LDW waveguides will be produced in a singlecomputer controlled step. This process eliminates all the complex steps associated with thedefinition of structures using

In each design class,at least one class discussion will be devoted to a case study in which the importance ofengineering ethics is emphasized. Thus, students will be exposed to engineering ethics in avariety of design courses by a variety of engineering faculty, most of whom are ProfessionalEngineers. Obviously, this approach could be used within any engineering discipline.I. IntroductionEthics has been defined as a body of moral principles or values, dealing with right and wrong andthe morality of motives and ends.Accordingly, it is an issue that individuals must deal with throughout their lives.
