This study explores engineering students’ perceptions of incorporating poetry writing within an upper-level discipline-specific engineering course. Two research questions are considered: (RQ1) Do students think that the poetry assignments will be beneficial to their careers? (RQ2) What beneficial gain, if any, do students report from the poetry assignments? Sixty-one students from an industrial and systems engineering course at the University of Florida completed a four-question, open-ended survey. Data were qualitatively coded and analyzed. For RQ1, 63.3% of participants considered the assignment beneficial to their future engineering careers, 13.3% did not see it as beneficial, and 23.3% were uncertain. For RQ2, 11 code categories and four themes emerged; three themes addressed benefits related to professional skills (creative thinking, problem-solving, communication) and one theme suggested the enhancement of technical skills via deepened conceptual knowledge acquisition. Poetry writing on technical topics has the potential to cultivate creative thinking skills in upper-level discipline-specific courses in undergraduate engineering education. Additional research is warranted.

The case is presented from the perspective of a new assistant coach of Canada’s national WCR team, who has been tasked by the head coach to use various analytics techniques to improve their lineups. Whereas the data and actors are fictitious, they are based on real data and discussions with the national team coach and sport scientists. To solve the case, students must conduct data analysis, regression modeling, and optimization modeling. These three steps are tightly linked, as the data analysis is needed to prepare the data for regression, and the regression outputs are used as parameters in the optimization. As such, students build proficiency in developing an end-to-end solution approach for a complex real-world problem. The primary learning objectives for the students are to understand the differences between descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics, to build proficiency in implementing the models using appropriate software, and to identify how these techniques can be applied to solve problems in other sports or other application areas.

Given the increasing popularity of AI and machine learning in particular, we face growing demand for educational offerings in this area from our students. This paper describes two courses that introduce machine learning concepts to undergraduate, predominantly industrial engineering and operations research students. Instead of taking a methods-first approach, these courses use real-world applications to motivate, introduce, and explore these machine learning techniques and highlight meaningful overlap with operations research. Significant hands-on coding experience is used to build student proficiency with the techniques. Student feedback indicates that these courses have greatly increased student interest in machine learning and appreciation of the real-world impact that analytics can have and helped students develop practical skills that they can apply. We believe that similar application-driven courses that connect machine learning and operations research would be valuable additions to undergraduate OR curricula broadly.
