3257 EVOLUTION OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM John E. Shea, Thomas M. West Oregon State UniversityIntroduction At the beginning of this decade, the structure of engineering curricula at most colleges anduniversities had existed since the early 1950’s, and reflected an emphasis on a solid foundation inmath, science, and engineering science as expressed in the Grinter Report of 19551. Therequirements for accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) reinforced this traditional structure of the

Jung1 first described personality types, as later developed into theMyers-Briggs Type Indicator2 or MBTI, a testing instrument. While only a brief (andadmittedly loose) classification is given here, complete descriptions are available2,3,4.The MBTI suggests personalities differ on the following dimensions:1. Preference for dealing with the outside world (Introversion/Extroversion). If one derives pleasure from dealing with numbers of people, or from in-depth reflections he/she may be termed an Extrovert (E) or Introvert (N) , respectively.2

opportunity to pursue one’s interests within the constraints of university, family, society, and availabletime are much more significant. In order to achieve tenure and promotion, maintain an acceptable level of professional and personalsatisfaction, and allow time to pursue some of the activities enjoyed outside of the workplace, each facultymember should develop a comprehensive strategic plan. Based on the escalating workload which is imposed onfaculty (either by external or internal sources), the plan must encompass all aspects of life. The level, quantity,and quality of work produced by any one faculty member can be limited by many factors outside of theuniversity, and a realistic strategic plan will reflect these considerations (i.e

Completed questionnaireswere returned to CSHE for data entry and analysis.The items comprising each of the three sections of the questionnaire were derived fromlearning theory, research on college students, and from Delphi studies by Jones (1994a,1994b). Jones sought to clarify and develop consensus among faculty members,administrators, researchers, and employers on definitions and components of “criticalthinking,” “problem solving,” and “communication” skills. Items were selected from thisstudy, or developed specifically, to reflect as closely as possible the learning outcomes

Expanding on previous studies, thispaper specifically investigates architectural engineering programs accredited by CEAB andABET in Canada, the United States and internationally. It aims to enable a comparative analysis,revealing notable differences among these accredited programs. One key observation is thediversity of specializations or areas of emphasis offered by different international universitieswithin the field of architectural engineering. These specializations often reflect the uniquestrengths and priorities of each institution. Another notable difference lies in

U.S. higher education contexts, there are few studies that specificallycenter them to contextualize their experiences. International graduate students experience uniquechallenges, such as acculturation, isolation, and visa status, that impact attrition and student well-being. Previous studies are mainly focused on acculturation or language problems for studentsacross disciplines. For engineering disciplines, the expectation of English language proficiency isdifferent than that of other majors like humanities, and engineering students may rely onmathematical and experimental data more heavily than English proficiency to perform well in theirresearch. Therefore, understanding how international graduate students reflect on their

These considerations belong to one of five “moralfoundations,” understandings of right and wrong driven by intuitions, closer in nature toemotions than reflective thought [25].

Indeed, theenactment of engineering design learning opportunities in field-based experiences is also evidentin some studies where engineering is emphasized in specific methods courses [7], [9]. Thesefield-based experiences, whether they occur during student teaching or in conjunction withmethods coursework, provide future elementary teachers with the opportunity to plan, teach, andreflect on their implementation of engineering design lessons. With the exception of a few studies [15], [16], elementary PSTs overwhelminglyexperience engineering design

The core hypothesis of this paper is that innovation is fundamentally a learningprocess, that personal innovativeness can be cultivated and elevated through the teaching ofestablished principles derived from the realm of learning science. These principles encompass theelevation of metacognition, the deliberate integration of intentionality into the learning process,and the embedding of reflective practices into the students' educational journeys
