IE 4903 - Industrial Engineering Senior Design Project III1 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course provides a mechanism for a design team, with approval received during IE 4901 from the course coordinator and faculty advisor, to undertake a larger scope project with correspondingly longer planned duration. The final project presentation and written report is then scheduled at the end of IE-4903, with IE 4902 including a status report. If IE-4903 is approved, no grade for IE 4902 will be issued until IE-4903 is completed. This course satisfies the requirements of an Industrial Engineering elective. (prereq: IE 4902 , consent of instructor)
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
• write an abstract that is clear and concise, emphasizing the most important aspects of the project and its potential for impact at the client organization
• develop a poster that creates interest and clearly highlights key aspects of the project
Prerequisites by Topic
• Must have developed a client-approved project proposal in IE-4901 and been given consent by the course coordinator and faculty advisor to undertake a larger scope project
Course Topics
• This course is administered similarly to an independent study course. Student teams meet weekly with their advisor to discuss project progress and concerns
• Topics covered in weekly meetings are geared towards helping the students satisfactorily complete their projects
• Topics may vary depending on the content of the projects and the specific strengths and weaknesses of the students enrolled in the course
• Topics covered could include review of technical information or techniques, technical writing, and effective oral presentations
Laboratory Topics
• All laboratory work will be done at the sponsor site or in an MSOE lab, as needed by a particular project
