Abstract

This paper presents the initial phase of a study to identify the desired characteristics of an undergraduate Industrial Engineer, and the emerging topic areas that should be incorporated into the reengineered curriculum so that the curriculum evolves as the emerging topics emerge. A survey was delivered to faculty and industry professionals across the U.S. to understand the desired characteristics and the important emerging topic areas. The modified Delphi technique was applied to gain consensus and ranking of the emerging topics. Three rounds will be performed to identify the emerging topic areas, assign emerging topic importance, and eventually obtain consensus and ranking on the emerging topics. The research findings are discussed that identify the desired characteristics, and the most important emerging topics to be incorporated into the reengineered curriculum.
