Abstract
The undergraduate Industrial Engineering program at the University of Pittsburgh is faced not only with the challenges of meeting the latest ABET requirements, but with meeting the needs of students in the 21st century. In addition, we must adapt to the changing curriculum requirements set forth by the School of Engineering at Pitt. We are also studying how best to incorporate global and international experiences for students into the IE curriculum. In this paper, we will discuss these curriculum challenges, benchmark other IE programs to determine whether they are addressing similar issues, and describe how we intend to meet these challenges in our program.
