educating them in the skills, competences, and toolsnecessary to cope with them, are necessary in the education of every engineer. This paperhighlights the integration of ethics into an existing, traditional industrial engineeringundergraduate course at the senior level. In particular, we show how traditional optimizationassignments can be reformulated to blend mathematics and ethics. Therefore, we do not followthe path of developing an independent, elective course that focuses on ethical issues.Furthermore, integration of ethics is not performed through case studies on which students canreflect on their own experiences. Instead, we embed ethical issues in traditional industrialengineering knowledge. In this way, ethical conflicts reveal themselves

Strategic competence cannot be “taught.”However, providing several illustrative examples, an environment can be created that promotesthe development of strategic competence.

The curriculum is comprised of an integrated sequence of nodes and related topics thatincorporate competencies.Educational change occurs at the node (Just-in-Time where the mathematics, physics,technologies, and related competencies are presented to the student). The content of a node issimilar to the description of a topic within a course but at a more detailed level; it is presented inbehavioral terms. Nodes introduce relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes via combinations oflecture, computer simulation, written documents or other traditional or modern methodology.Student participation in these related activities reinforces their

. The emphasis is on building the technical skills around understandingmaterial properties, and knowledge of how materials respond to various loads. At the same time,this subject offers an opportunity to introduce other practical project variables. This paper willdemonstrate an example of integrating concepts of environmental and economic sustainability inthe material selection process using Ashby diagrams (charts) [3]. Ashby charts are visual toolswhere variables are plotted against each other, such as strength versus density, to enable theengineer to weigh trade-offs between multiple variables. Further, when students use the Ashbycharts they practice the skills in making informed decisions based on data and projectrequirements.The activity

By incorporating AI into the curriculum, educational institutions can ensure thatstudents graduate with the necessary skills to excel in a technology-driven workplace.
