programs in a range of engineering disciplines1,2. Morgan Stateand Stony Brook in Electrical Engineering and University of Alabama in MechanicalEngineering have 2+2 programs online3,4,5. Our program in Industrial Engineering is similar tothe 2+2 online programs at other universities in other disciplines. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 discusses the degree plan andcourse modifications required for online teaching. Section 3 discusses the delivery technologyand approaches used to offer online courses. Section 4 discusses the potential market for thisprogram. Section 5 discusses marketing and outreach efforts. Section 5 presents the evaluationresults of a student survey about online courses and discuss the progress of

However, as projects become more complex and theuncertainty associated with technical aspects of them increases, the risks related to not only thoseprojects but also the environment have to be considered from a holistic or systemic perspective. Inthis dynamic environment, it is important for engineers and engineering managers to understandvarious aspects of risk management such as risk identification, risk tracking, risk impactassessment, risk prioritization and risk mitigation planning, implementation and progressmonitoring.In this paper, the authors review all the existing courses in their Engineering Management (EM)program and analyze the current offerings of

Asnew, innovative programs recruiting students before being accredited, discussion of theoutcomes and aligning program activities with the outcomes provided external credibility.

Additionally, it could be beneficial to those who plan towork in industry if cyber security teaching could align with materials and skills needed for cybersecurity certification exams such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)and Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) exams.However, there are key limitations and grand challenges on cyber security teaching in bothonline and face-to-face educational structures. The difficulties are mainly due to a broad range ofstudent backgrounds and a lack of computing resources. In most cyber security programs,students enroll with

University have begun a unique initiative in the area of entrepreneurship. TheEngineering Entrepreneurship Education Experience (E4) model brings entrepreneurship fromthe private sector into the undergraduate environment. It begins with the idea/concept process.At brainstorming sessions with private industry, faculty, and beginning capstone students, newideas for products and systems are identified for development. Student teams select ideas thathave strong industry support, and through two semesters of planning and implementationtransform them into fully functional prototypes. At the end of the second semester, the E4student teams deliver a combined technical/business/marketing presentation to invited privatesector and business development

The two instructors together rapidly purchasedthe supplies.Following lunch, the students wrote process plans, manufactured their new product, andprepared and delivered oral presentations. The most creative project that fulfilled theobjectives of the activity was the “Cushy Tushy”, a toilet seat that is filled with slime tomake a comfortable seat.Introduction to Engineering CourseThe Introduction to Engineering Course was taught by Dr. High for the fall 2005 term.The course was made up of college freshmen that predominately chose to major inChemical Engineering.

These areskills that are not taught in most engineering curriculums prior to the capstone course(s). Ourobservations are consistent with the observations by other researchers who have studied thedesign process. Wilson et. al 2 highlighted how students in the capstone course setting strugglewith setting milestones and soliciting feedback at the right times. Developing and effectivelycommunicating the project plan and status are critical to the success of the project. As noted byYildirim3, there is a need for understanding the relationships between design activities

Byassessing student knowledge of sustainability principles at the beginning and end of the freshmanyear, the effectiveness of the program is evaluated to show that the HERE program helpsstudents learn to view sustainable design methodologies and awareness of the triple bottom lineas integral to their understanding of the profession of engineering. Future plans are beingdeveloped to continue the program past the freshman year.IntroductionUndergraduates that earn bachelor degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) disciplines find themselves well positioned to become not only experts intheir

As a result, designers areresorting more to simulation as a means of demonstrating compliance with various ratingsystems 2. Additionally, new technology in electric sources, like LEDs (light emitting diodes),require designers to understand the characteristics and energy savings potential and the trade-offsbetween natural and electric light.Literature ReviewDaylighting has always been an important issue in architecture and interior design, as it affectsmultiple areas throughout a built environment, including the functional

Though issues exist during the processof establishing such collaborations, they can be resolved through a thorough understanding ofChinese engineering curricula and careful planning. Introduction The globalization of our economy has stimulated international collaborations on collegiateeducation. Previous research and successful practices demonstrated that these collaborations haveprovided valuable experience for our faculty and students to better understand the needs and thedeveloping trends for engineering professionals from a global perspective1,2 .

The shift from the traditional system of education to cooperative learning may redefinewhat a good student does, thus threatening and raising the anxiety of traditionally goodstudents. The highly competitive nature of most problem solvers also hinders teamworkability. College students receive little training on how to work as a team, and since they haveonly been in a simulated environment, they will not realize that most of the

The second step is to usethat supportive environment to establish and communicate business plan for quality.The use of “cross-functional resources” is necessary to be effective in implementingquality program for design and manufacturing. The use of cross-functional resourcesassumes that no individual has all the knowledge and resources available to implementchanges that cut across all levels of a company.Total Quality and ObjectivesBy total quality, we are looking for implementing quality-management system thatsimultaneously improves quality, increase productivity, and through continuousimprovement reduce costs. Most companies choose to develop their own objectivesrather

The organizations are increasingly relying on the new generation of hardware andsoftware systems to achieve this elusive goal. Integration is the key to the success of deploying amodern Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) system, which is an ideal state in whichcomputer based manufacturing applications communicate information to coordinate design,planning and manufacturing processes.Flexible software has become a major goal for developers of manufacturing automation.Flexibility of machine tools and cells has now reached such a level that it is often the inflexibilityof the software, not the machines, which inhibits a fast response to market demands [7].

forced to resort to other high-costalternatives, such as stocking critical items themselves or planning for rapid import of neededgoods from some other region. Recent events such as the Katrina flooding in New Orleans andthe earthquake relief efforts in Haiti have underscored the importance of local regions becomingself-sufficient (at least for a few days) and have highlighted the incredible costs of flying in largequantities of goods (e.g., bottled water) to a hard-hit region.Most communities, however, do have considerable local manufacturing capacity. Although thetrend of shifting production overseas has diminished the base of producers in the United States,there is still tremendous capacity and most cities have a number of fabricators of
