As the University of Pittsburgh Department of Industrial Engineering prepared for its ABET visit in the fall 2005, it became apparent that its IE 1035 – Engineering Management course was a primary course for satisfying ABET outcomes (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context; (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning; and (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues. This paper will describe pedagogically how these elements are implemented within the IE 1035 – Engineering Management course and the other inherent benefits of doing so, i.e., making learning rigorous, relevant, and interesting.
