IE 391 - Industrial Engineering Junior Project

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is intended to serve as an opportunity for third-year students to apply subjects they have learned thus far to a real-world engineering problem. These problems are sponsored by business/industry and require some choices as to the specific engineering tools that will be used. Following tool selection, data gathering, and analysis, the students are required to reach a recommended solution. Students work in teams under the supervision of a faculty member who leads the students through this problem-solving process. This course is intended to serve as a precursor to the Capstone Engineering Design project courses (IE 4901  and IE 4902 ) scheduled in the senior year. (prereq: two of the following: IE 3621 , IE 348 , or IE 381 ) (coreq: IE 423 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• select tools, gather data, build models, and analyze processes used in projects in business and industry
• exhibit professional behaviors in dealing with external clients
• demonstrate competence in planning and scheduling methods
• demonstrate professional written and verbal presentation techniques
Prerequisites by Topic
• Must have some knowledge of specific industrial engineering techniques that are likely to relate to the course project. Need to have 2 of the following 3 prerequisites: quality control, ergonomics, or operations research. Must also have already taken engineering economics or be taking it as a corequisite so that knowledge of time value of money, value comparisons, and economic decision making for engineering projects can be applied to the junior project
Course Topics
• Working with clients (1 week)
• Project definition, proposal writing, deliverables (1 week)
• Teamwork and leadership styles (1 week)
• Library research (1 week)
• Professional behavior (1 week)
• Planning and scheduling (1 week)
• Data gathering (1 week)
• Tool selection (1 week)
• Model building (1 week)
• Written and verbal presentation techniques
Laboratory Topics
• All laboratory work will be done at the sponsor site or in an MSOE lab, as needed by a particular project
