Session Description

This session focuses on the intersection of education, career development, and real-world applications. Papers explore preparing Industrial Engineering (IE) graduates to train workers on new procedures following system improvements, how required courses influence career thinking among IE students, and a sensor-based study on urban walkability and pedestrian stress across different sites. These studies highlight the critical connection between education and real-world challenges in training, career paths, and urban system design.

For those interested in: Academia-Industry Connections, Advocacy and Policy, Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology, New Members, and Pre-College
