a method of teaching that integrates community service into an academiccourse through applied learning to enrich the educational experience of students and meet theneeds of the community. In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities. Through theprojects, students gained a deeper understand of the course content, as well as

Learning to Teach Office Ergonomics in the Undergraduate Classroom AbstractKnowledge of contemporary issues is an important component of every industrial engineeringundergraduate student’s curriculum. As professors in Industrial Engineering, it is our duty tocontinually update our courses to meet the changing needs of our students. The traditional topicsof an industrial engineer have historically focused on the manufacturing and product industry.Specifically in the area of workplace design, the legacy workplace was impacted by theindustrial revolution and corresponding tools for improvement in productivity. However, theknowledge economy and the explosion of information technology have changed the

suggests that students atliberal arts institutions respond similarly to the method.The results also brought into question the consistently and disproportionately more negativeimpressions of the case study method among Elon students despite reporting that they learnedmore, were better at synthesizing and analyzing, and fairly happy with the classroomenvironment and instruction. Recall that the study participants at Bennett and Elon were biologyand engineering majors, respectively. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) courses are widely regarded as anomalies at the liberal arts institution, so there is likelya strong expectation for traditional teaching and learning methods in those classes and some levelof discomfort with and
touse different software products other than Lab Archives alludes to the possibility thatadoption of software to organize research is possible. As the librarian who is a liaison toall of the sciences and engineering, perhaps a single lab notebook solution will not bethe answer to accommodate the different fields and different types of researchconducted on campus, whether bench research or computational research or otherwise.Investing in multiple software products is an option for the Library, however it is not aneconomically sound tactic. The Librarian should remain alert to the different researchneeds and continue to be cognizant of new software and technologies that have beendeveloped to meet researcher needs.Acknowledgement: Matthew Sumner

In the presentstudy we offered this class a research thesis option instead of a traditional classroom course toexplore the effectiveness of this method in terms of the pedagogical outcomes. If this approachworks then the thesis option can be utilized when enrollments are few and can be a viable optionin summer sessions.At this time, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) does not specifyeducational outcomes for master’s level programs, however it is expected that the students wouldsatisfy the requirements for undergraduate

This natural equivalence between these two disciplines has allowed a single course toevolve concerning the theory and fundamentals of control systems engineering.
