Students participating in ENIE 450 will

  1. Apply design concepts to industrial engineering applications (4)
  2. Be introduced to, discuss, and debate different industrial engineering problems and their design applications and global and societal impacts.  (7)
  3. Apply Industrial Engineering tools and principles taught in previous IE courses to design an industry applicable industrial system in a team-based setting. (2,3,4,5)
  4. Use computer applications and skills introduced in previous IE courses to an Industrial Engineering design problem. (3)
  5. Communicate in writing and verbally problem solving processes and outcomes to customers, clients, and team members. (5)
  6. Experience independent learning to approaching and solving industrial engineering problems. (6)
  7. Consider the ethical implications of decision-making in the design process (6)
