Session 3657 Improving Quality in Introductory Industrial Engineering through Case Studies and Communication John Birge, Shane Henderson, Leslie Olsen University of Michigan AbstractWe describe an introductory course in industrial engineering that uses case studies, teamwork,public policy issues, and a focus on the communication demands on engineers to provide —atthe beginning of a student's career—a synthetic view of the role of industrial engineers in society.The course covers typical industrial engineering

And of course a good grade wouldn't hurt any. • I hope to broaden my knowledge of operations research techniques, increase my problem- solving skills, and give myself a strong base in operations research for future courses and my career. • The ability to interpret and solve any dynamic programming problem presented to me. • Useful information in solving operations research problems. • I hope to get a better understanding of what operations research is and where operations research can be applied in real life

A survey led by the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers (8) lists the characteristics engineers in industry believegraduates should possess. In addition, companies employing engineering graduates havepresented their thoughts regarding these characteristics (9). In summary thecharacteristics are: 1. Technical competence is a given. 2.

It is a difficult task to reorient the mindset of the present-day engineers that will design andbuild the first Helix Motors. Currently, from birth, every human has been taught, and beenshown, that the two-dimensional Axis Orbital Rotation Concept is the only way to achieverotation. Humans that have specialized in engineering have learned that concept even moredeeply. The concept of a virtual electromagnetic wave orbiting the axis of a shaft whileinteracting with a axis perpendicular magnetic bar or disk, is believed to be the only way thatrotation can be achieved, and is

Since the data originated from first-year engineering courses, one plausible solutionwould be to start the intervention in high school. Additionally, longitudinal studies may providedeeper insights into how team experiences evolve throughout a student's academic career andhow early interventions can have long-term benefits. Lastly, examining the intersectionality ofstudents' identities and experiences will enhance our understanding of the multidimensionalnature of team dynamics.

ofinterdisciplinary courses in engineering education and the co-delivery of curriculum byprofessors from different fields using dialogical pedagogy for effective student learningexperiences. The findings attest that there is significant value in this approach. Therefore,future research on such pedagogies should be conducted to ascertain the efficacy of thesepedagogies on student learning outcomes, career choices, and their ability to bridgedisciplinary divides in their professional practice. We also can use different measurementtools and methodologies to capture student engagement more effectively in future studies.References[1] M.

how many students know about CSopportunities in the community and their schools.Experience, the final component of CAPE, relates to students’ outcomes from CS courses andactivities. Examples of these outcomes include cognitive gains, interest, and awareness ofcomputing careers. Equitable Experience means that these outcomes are equitable across studentsubgroups [8]. Prior research in Experience investigated student content in an introductory CScourses [26–28], interest in computing [29], attitudes [24], and relevance of computing in thelives of underrepresented students [30]. Although this is the most studied component of CAPE,there are also gaps in areas that have been shown to impact academic achievement [31].3 Research MethodsTo answer our

System.[4] This system groups majors into three tiers. Tier 1 includes engineering courses that directly relate to military operations (Systems Engineering and Civil Engineering were the only engineering disciplines excluded). Tier 2 includes all sciences and engineering majors not listed in Tier 1. Tier 3 is all the humanities, and most importantly for ERAU specifically, Homeland Security. ERAU ROTC has a large number of Cadets enrolled in the Homeland Security program and many of those Cadets are high performers focused on a long career in the military. Using a different sorting method that put Homeland Security in a separate bin may produce different results for the ERAU program. Army ROTC does not have a tiered system
