activities are widelyaccepted as an important field of engineering management. In today’s global and highlycompetitive business environment, high quality products and services are a necessity. Quality isone method in which organizations compete2. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME)3,4has conducted competency surveys and has repeatedly identified quality as an importantcompetency gap in manufacturing.This paper will present a method to address the quality competency gap in the use of statisticalprocess control (SPC) to achieve process improvement. Montgomery5 states that SPC is “one ofthe greatest technological developments of the twenty century because it is based on soundunderlying principles, is easy to use, has significant impact, and

The program wouldprovide reference services to engineering students and faculty, in their spaces and at point ofneed.

experiences such as internships), discussing broader societal impacts can have a direct influence on their projects within the second semester of the program. For example, students often have a difficult time separating the needs of their client (or their sponsor) from the needs of the end users of their products. However, the success of a product is typically determined on whether the product is useful for the end user, and thus, as a software engineer, understanding the needs of users (and how they may differ to what is being asked by the client or sponsor) is paramount. Studying the impacts of technology on society can help students develop a clearer understanding of the importance of gaining insight into end user (as opposed to just business or

investigate developing informationliteracy skills in first-year engineering technology students. It was found that ongoingcollaboration with faculty and increased student contact improved the effectiveness of librarian-led information literacy instruction. Allegorically, the authors have also found that their ownstudents, even when presented with the proper resources to search for and retrieve peer-reviewedarticles, handbooks and conference proceedings will frequently resort to web references.Examples of this may be found in three works authored with undergraduates. Admittedly, as ofthis writing, the co-author’s own work has fallen victim to the vagaries of online publishing, (e.g.Gadia et al., 2005a, Gadia et al., 2005b, Layton et al., 2007)4-6

Byredesigning two high enrollment lower division courses at the University of Idaho, Introductionto Computer Science and Engineering Statics, and targeting GenZ learning styles, we hoped toimprove both our retake and retention rates.Since GenZ students are familiar with video technology as part their education, we hadinstructors record short video segments which corresponded to in-class lectures. In conjunctionwith the Engineering Outreach program, an office was repurposed into a small faculty recordingstudio where the videos could be recorded at times which could easily
