knowledge into the domain of healthsystems.A careful review of the current ISE curriculum reveals the following facts: (i) ISE knowledge isbuilt in large on manufacturing systems, (ii) the majority of examples in textbooks are based onmanufacturing systems, (iii) very few universities have health systems concentration in their ISEprograms, and (iv) there is no good textbook(s) generalizing ISE tools in health systems. Whilemany researchers and practitioners have been successfully applying ISE tools to modeling andoptimizing health systems, there is a gap between the healthcare industry needs and academiccourse settings. For examples, although lean and six-sigma have been widely adopted andimplemented in the healthcare settings to reduce wastes and

His subsequent report titled Science, the Endless Frontier, hasas its first canon that basic research is performed without thought of practical ends.2 Its secondcanon states that basic research is the pacemaker of technological improvement.1 The final pieceof the puzzle that led us to where we are today has its roots in the Grinter report released in thelate 1950’s that advocated a more science-based engineering curriculum which eventually led tothe creation of engineering

Due to timing, the author neglected to collect data fromthe Fluid Mechanics courses. The data presented above includes only students that have seen thePPF sheets for the first time in a course.

Within a one-hour undergraduate researchcourse, the goals tend to reach beyond intermediate goals, such as a good grade, and are focusedon larger goals such as learning how to become an engineer and the desire to participate in ahumanitarian endeavor.

In this community, learning is embedded inactivity, and a kind of cognitive apprenticeship develops between a student(s) and a

to service more students in our region and is more cost effective thana central remote location. The lectures for the first four weeks of the semester providesthe students the basis to understand how market forces help shape how their product willbe adopted in the marketplace, the technology S-curve adoption pattern, the importanceof protecting your intellectual property and understanding the dynamics of standardsbattle and the concept of dominant design. During this first month of the semester, thestudents have a chance to get to know each other and understand the strengths andweaknesses of the other students in the class. If is at this point that we form studentteams that will eventually compete against each other in the market simulation
independent course in FEA. Its impact will be judged by the employers’ andstudents’ surveys conducted after every co-op semester. Instructors’ feed back is important interms of pacing of the teaching, fine tuning the course content and changing the teaching methodbased on student’s response and performance in the tests.As stated earlier, the main objective of the paper is to disseminate the innovative approach andseek the constructive comments from engineering educators. A follow up paper will be writtenon initial findings after two or three semesters.Bibliography[1] Steif P.

decision problem becausesome alternative(s) would be dominated. Less obviously, 2B1M and 1M2W also cannot be part ofan interesting decision problem. If an alternative, say A1, has 2B1M, then it will dominate thealternative that has W on the criterion where A1 has M. If an alternative, say A1, has 1M2W, thenit will be dominated by the alternative that has B on the criterion where A1 has M.Thus each alternative in an interesting 3 x 3 decision problem must be one of 7 possibilities:2B1W, 1B2M, 1B1M1W, 1B2W, 3M, and 2M1W. They are listed lexicographically by number ofB values, number of M values, and then number of W values.
