Abstract

Wichita State University has partnered with industry to provide real world project experience for undergraduate students. Industry provides students with ill-defined problems where student teams must define the problem and develop solutions that use tools and methods learned in their courses. Students from this course have won the best paper award from the Institute of Industrial Engineers at the regional and national level. This course also addresses several of the ABET criteria and provides the opportunity for assessment of student ability in these often difficult to assess areas. This paper presents the method of the course and the method used for assessment.
