However, the TQM course in other institutions focuses onbenchmarking, global competitiveness, and strategic management tools. Adding a separatecourse to the IE department in this area would benefit the MSIE degree program as well as theMSEM program. Also, the department already teaches a Law and Ethics course on the under-graduate level, but either restructuring the current course to be taught on a graduate level, oradding an additional course on the graduate level would also be valuable.Two other courses that would be valuable additions to the department would be ProjectManagement and Technology Forecasting & Commercialization.

This study indicated that there were mild correla-tions between performance and self-assessment (enough to warrant further study).The present study looks to see if comparing students’ self-assessments to performance acrossmultiple problems shows any more correlation than was found in the one question to oneproblem work of Sarin and Headley.1 The analysis is based upon data collected in the

That is, it is important to create linksbetween non-technical courses and the engineering thought process in order for the student tounderstand how non-technical topics (economics, entrepreneurship, business modeling, ethics,political science, psychology, and global competitiveness) affect an engineer’s job. For example,an engineer can use a basic knowledge of psychology to learn how to empathize with the end userof a product. This in turn will help the engineer become more creative by understanding how hisdesign is perceived by other people. The downside is that the introduction of non-technicalcourses is constrained by credit hours. If a department wishes to pursue this option, it must decidewhat portions of its current

The report, Engineeringin K-12 Education, recently released by the National Academy of Engineering and NationalResearch Council6 provided a very insightful view of engineering education in K-12. The reportclaimed three principles for K-12 engineering education. First, it believed K-12 engineeringeducation should emphasize engineering design. Second, K-12 engineering should incorporateimportant science, mathematics, and technology concepts and skills. Finally, K-12 engineeringshould align with 1) systems thinking, 2) creativity, 3) optimism, 4) collaboration, 5)communication, and 6) attention to ethical considerations to promote engineering “habits of mind”(pp. 4-6).

However, the case studies addressed issues ranging over a disparateset of problem domains, software engineering practices, and scenario elements; this resulted instudents learning about software engineering practices in bits and pieces - there was very littlecoupling between the case studies and hence no accumulation of scenario experience thatallowed progress toward more substantial and complex problems.The SRS Inspection Case Module (and
