1 You may use computer software on any problem unless noted, reports
should be word processed.
2 Lab plans should identify tools, goals, roles, and methods as applicable.
GRADING
Points towards your grade are earned as follows:
- 6 labs and lab plans -- 2 points per plan, 13 points per lab--90
total.
- 12 homework problems -- 5 points each--60 total.
- 2 tests -- 50 points each--100 total.
- 2 projects -- 25 points each--50 total.
Grades will be on a 90-80-70-60% scale against the 300 possible
points; there may be some slight adjustment due to the subjectivity of
partial credit. Such adjustment will only make the scale looser.
Late work will not be accepted without prior written arrangements or a
valid medical statement. All reports should be word processed.
Neatness, grammar, spelling, and content will all count towards your grade.
Any problem internal to a team should be discussed with the instructor
as soon as a problem is noted; confidentiality will be honored as agreed
to in such a meeting.
OBJECTIVE
This course is meant to develop an appreciation of various IE
techniques as applied in manufacturing and service industries. Laboratories
and projects are used to allow an experiential approach to the problems
of managing and planning such industries. The place of people in
these systems is emphasized.
GENERAL
The schedule and procedures in this syllabus are subject to change
in the event of extenuating circumstances. Any student with difficulty
in meeting these requirements should contact the instructor as soon as
possible for an attempt to resolve the difficulty. This especially
includes class dates the student will be unavailable. All students
are expected to attend all class and lab sessions including film dates
and presentations. Absence on these dates will deduct from your grade
on the lab associated with the date.
All students are expected to meet the pre-requisites for this
course. If you have not, contact the instructor or your advisor immediately.
These requirements are IME 105 and Mth 122.

prior to the need for lab plans or lab work. It is the student’s
responsibility to obtain copies. Labs and project information will
be available on the class website at http://bradley.bradley.edu/~dek/ie306/
