Abstract
A series of modules based on realistic problems are being developed for our industrial engineering curriculum. These modules require students to use a variety of information technology skills to access, screen and analyze the data available to them. The modules are also designed to help students build relationships among the courses, which they traditionally treat as isolated bodies of knowledge. Students’ engineering problem solving will also be enhanced by the challenge presented by more realistic open-ended problems that are incorporated into the modules. This paper details the results of the latest module used in a Manufacturing Systems Engineering course.
