Teaching Concurrent Engineering At The University Of Central Florida

U.S. manufacturing has discovered that the serial, over‐the‐wall approach to product development has to give way to a concurrent engineering approach. This customer‐centered, multi‐disciplinary team approach is being more widely used and today\u27s graduating engineer must be prepared to understand and function in this environment. This paper describes an approach used to teach concurrent engineering at the University of Central Florida. 1995 American Society for Engineering Educatio

Design Project Approach To Teaching Concurrent Engineering

U.S. manufacturing has discovered that the serial, over-the-wall approach to product development has to give way to a concurrent engineering approach. This customer-centered, multi-disciplinary team approach is being more widely used and today\u27s graduating engineer must be prepared to understand and function in this environment. This paper describes an innovative design project approach that is used to teach concurrent engineering in the industrial engineering programs at the University of Central Florida

Integrated System Benchmarking For Industrialized Housing

New techniques in IE often evolve from approaches developed to meet need in a particular company. One such approach is benchmarking - a continuous, systematic process to identify best practices and apply them in order to achieve superior performance. Here, we examine the application of benchmarking to the industrialized housing industry
