characterization. As part of the systems approach to this course, the curriculum will also include a focus on evaluating what the risks are as far as the supply chain and the sustainability aspects of the project are concerned.Pedagogical ApproachAssignments for this course will be carried out based on a Problem-Based Learning (PBL)pedagogical approach that will be implemented in an integrated learning environment that islearner-centered, knowledge-centered, assessment-centered, and community-centered. PBL,developed in the 1970s, has gained increasing popularity in higher education15. Its desirableoutcome, compared to that of traditional modes of teaching, is that students develop deep-learning approaches that enable them to engage in

Students themselves were beginning to perceive the importance ofstudying on a course which explicitly encouraged the development of knowledge and skillsfirmly rooted in the business-oriented context of the modern engineering industry. In the1992-3 Presidential Address, the President of the Institution of Electrical Engineers reviewedthe trends within engineering education, and drew attention to ‘the search by students forcourses which provide them with wider skills’7.The Engineering Council, in its 3rd Edition of SARTOR, continued the increasingly strongtrend of basing the curriculum within the vocational arena, and argued that

The workshop activated the existing skills and knowledge andprovided an opportunity to integrate the new knowledge with the existing one. It made studentsconfident in their ability to apply the newly acquired skills and knowledge to solve real-worldproblems. The survey conducted after the workshop indicates this.

At least one chapter in eachbook appears to be devoted to this topic. The third step revolves around integrating all systemcomponents and launching the system. The fourth step is testing the performance of the system.The fourth step relies on techniques from operations research, e.g., queuing theory for discrete-event stochastic systems and scoring methods and objective function formulation etc. The finalstep essential captures the principle of continuous

The use of BPR as a management tool was reported to have gone downfrom 69 percent in 1995 to 38 percent in 2000, and revived again to 61 percent in 20041.The concept of reengineering traces its origins back to management theories developed as earlyas the nineteenth century. BPR integrates methods from total quality management, technologyand innovation management, strategic planning, systems engineering, and organizational design4.The Stevens EM program has been offering courses related to these topics and integrating BPRin the curriculum was only natural. It aimed to provide our students an understanding of theBPR as a concept, learning of the tools and techniques and the ability to find similarities anddifferences between
