IE 4902 - Industrial Engineering Senior Design Project II

1 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
In this second of the senior design courses, the student teams execute the design proposal developed in IE 4901 . The design is documented in a written team report and orally defended before a faculty review panel. Typically, the project is also presented to the client in a separate presentation, often at the client facility. (prereq: IE 4901 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• utilize relevant industrial engineering methods and tools to collect and analyze data
• formulate creative alternatives, perform systematic comparisons of alternatives, and formulate recommendations based on quantitative and qualitative evaluations
• justify recommendations based on quantitative and qualitative performance metrics, taking the context of the client organization into consideration
• communicate, verbally and in writing, the project methodology, results, recommendations, and organizational impact
