该项目旨在改善本科生的教育 工业工程师在生产力的有效管理。 生产力管理包括传统的工业 工程活动测量，运动研究，方法 改进和简化工作，同时考虑 人为因素 与大多数技术领域一样， 这些IE基础知识的实践可以从技术进步中产生， 使用的设备。 不再是足够的武装一个IE与 纸笔和秒表 该项目为IE学生提供了一个 有机会获得经验，与一系列当今先进的 工具，包括自动数据收集和分析系统， 计算机接口和录像带技术。 这些工具增强了 自己的生产力。 这种经验与潜在的 生产力管理理论更好地准备学生， 有效地管理工作场所的生产力。 这笔奖金将由本金支付同等金额 调查机构。

This project seeks to improve the education of undergraduate industrial engineers in the effective management of productivity. Productivity management encompasses the classical industrial engineering (IE) activities of work measurement, motion study, methods improvement and work simplification, coupled with the consideration of human factors. As with most technical fields, improvement in the practice of these IE basics can result from technological advances in the equipment used. No longer is it sufficient to arm an IE with paper, pencil, and a stopwatch. This project offers the IE student an opportunity to gain experience with an array of today's sophisticated tools, including automated data collection and analysis systems, computer interfaces, and videotape technology. These tools enhance the IE's own productivity. This experience combined with the underlying theory of productivity management better prepares the student to effectively manage productivity in the workplace. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
