(1) Will the demand be there for each minor? If yes, where?
Hamid: please find information related to justifying the minor in lean manufacturing and the minor in supply chain
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, new jobs for industrial engineers are expected to grow by about 25,100 more jobs by 2026. Systems engineering is included in the tasks of an industrial engineer. There is also a growth of 5,100 jobs for electronics engineers and 4,000 jobs for computer hardware engineers. The reason these fields are included is due to the fact that the systems engineer field is used to search for jobs, as they often require a degree in this field or at least one similar and with experience. In an article by Zippia, New Mexico rated 22nd for best state for systems engineers with about 438 jobs directly in this field. Washington State rated number 1 with 3,066 job openings. States like California on the West coast, rated number 3 with around 11,449 openings. New Yok in the East Coast rated, 13th with 3,296 openings. New Mexico’s surrounding states like Texas, rated 5th with 5,310 jobs. Arizona rated 17th with 1,203 openings and Colorado rated 7th with 2,502 openings.
(2) How will these minors be promoted?
Last time I mentioned that NMSU currently utilizes a few distribution systems to inform students. One is through email, which is frequently used to send out information. The Canvas dashboard often presents course options and other information, which would help further the distribution of information concerning this minor. The same could be said about the My NMSU homepage. There are also traditional methods, like paper flyers on bulletin boards by the dorms, and other campus facilities where students are able to view them. Other ways could be those that appeal to a younger generation, such as twitter feeds, Facebook, and other sanctioned social media outlets. Also, sharing the information with other departments and placing some brochures near the entrance of doors for students to grab on the way. In addition, I remember Dr. Pines would mention information about classes that would be available in the following semester. This only takes a couple of minutes and is very helpful. Thus, if other departments are willing to promote a minor to enhance student education it could attract students to the approved minors.
Social media, advising center, first semester transfer student, DACC and other community colleges, flyers, alumni, department website, workforce development office in NM and other places in New Mexico
(3) For each minor (and each track), could you provide descriptive language that shows values for students outside of engineering?
1- Here is the description from last time that was specific to the systems engineering minor.
2- Suggestions Practical lab, practical cases, real project applications, speakers from NASA, White Sands,
3- Description on How we can attract other students to take this minor
Write one or two sentences about creating a career path. To complete their own major, what benefits they will get to complement their majors.
Reduce the description to 3-4 sentences in each track. The idea of describing each track is great.
Due Monday April 5
What is Systems engineering? In its simplest form it is a method of making sense of complex things. This is done by looking at the big picture and breaking it down into smaller easier to digest pieces. Why Systems engineering? This is very important when trying to understand a complex system as seen in a spaceship from NASA. The spaceship has millions of pieces that would be difficult for any one person to comprehend. Therefore, grouping the systems facilitates creating a system schematic and helps us understand things in simpler forms. At the same time it can be used in applications such as agriculture, financial systems, diverse eco systems, management systems, the ocean and more. How would you benefit from this? People who have a passion to help others, benefit from this by helping society understand complex things. You don’t have to be an engineer to learn these concepts. Having the knowledge to create a system helps governments, private sector companies, environmental groups, and society in general. So the next time you hold your cell phone in your hand, imagine what elements, parts, processes and more are involved with the creation of that device.
For track 1- Data analysis, Optimization & Simulation modeling description it could be the following.
The Data analysis, Optimization & Simulation modeling track in the Minor of Systems Engineering is designed for students from any field. This track will equip students with the skills needed to manage, extract, and make well inform decisions. These skills are required more and more within many fields, beyond those of engineering. For example, a nurse or doctor in the healthcare industry can utilized this knowledge to find trends in treatments or symptoms associated with an illness to improve the standard of care. Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. are all requiring some amount of knowledge within this field. Therefore, you don’t have to be a traditional engineering student to reap the benefits of this track.
For track 2 Manufacturing
Why a track in manufacturing in systems engineering? Simple, you get exposed to two important concepts. In a manufacturing process, the focus is on optimizing an already established process or repetitive process. In systems engineering, you discover problems and manage complex systems for the cycle of a process or product. Now tying both together, the possibilities are endless. Students can enhance an existing system or create a new one altogether, while reducing waste. An example of this would be a company such as Tesla, which has assembly lines and continues to strive to find new and innovative systems to further their mission.
For track 3 Business
The business track gives students another tool which is designed for students who perhaps don’t want to follow a business degree or an engineering degree. A student can benefit from this by making better decisions in a systematic way for retail, transportation, utility grids, and especially alternative energy, financial industries and more. Also, students who might not feel they are ready to take on leadership roles can benefit from this track, as it can provide them with exposure to leadership. Many students start jobs where roles are quickly placed on them, such as management roles. Having a little more than basic knowledge of business could be beneficial to them.
Undergraduate Minor in Supply Chain and Analytics
Department of Industrial Engineering
A minor in Supply Chain and Analytics is designed to provide students with a concentration in a broad perspective of the supply chain combined with modeling and analytical skills. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to interpret fundamental concepts in supply chain management as well as develop optimization and/or simulation models for organizational decision-making in supply chains.
Eligibility
This minor is open to all majors, and especially appropriate for students in the computational sciences, information technology, mathematics, engineering, business, or computer science programs.
