is presented as atopic in selected courses but it is not treated as an integral part of the curriculum. Courses inquality control, statistical process control, and reliability are generally offered as a programoption or elective courses, thus leaving some students completely void of the background. The purpose of this paper is to propose a core industrial engineering course that willintegrate quality, reliability, and warranty (QRW) concepts and methods. The objective is toprovide a modern broader view of quality that is multidimensional with elements that relate tohow products are developed, produced and accepted by customers, and to improve theintegration of relevant IE courses. The approach is to construct a quality, reliability

To remain competitive, tomorrow’sengineering undergraduate must have a strong background in biology as well. Our long-termobjective is the development of a curriculum that integrates biology to a degree comparable tothe current integration of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Ultimately, our goal is todramatically overhaul existing engineering curricula and integrate biology for engineers withinall levels of formal engineering education.

with this approach. Some disadvantages are that this course wouldonly offer about 45 hours of lecture/class interaction (probably too little to be fully effective),would have to spend time to address core skills like report writing and communications, andwould typically be taken by underclassmen due to curriculum constraints. All of thesedisadvantages point to a class that, while providing a student with a good foundation for PMconcepts, might be too general and early for students to really appreciate the value of PM in theworkplace.A second solution is for a department or engineering college to integrate PM concepts into theircurriculum, not as an individual course, but as many components that appear in many courses.This is a much more easily

At one extreme, there are so-calledtraditionalists who hold the position that all “educated” individuals should demonstrate a masteryof specified topics (for example, Greek classics), with the topics more or less representing theentire history of western civilization. Examples of adherents of this position are Allen Bloomand Ed Hirsch, academics who have authored the controversial books The Closing of theAmerican Mind 1 and Cultural Literacy 2 respectively. Traditionalist curriculums tend to be veryhomogenous, with minimum flexibility regarding course selection. Taking an
