“…Aliane reported the development of a control system teaching package using the Excel spreadsheet program. Ku and Fulcher reported the achieved experience results of the usage of different software packages to solve the simulation problems of the Bachelor course, using Monte‐Carlo technique while the preferred software was Excel in MS Office. These and similar studies indicate the applicability of spreadsheets in engineering education.…”

Excel spreadsheet not only provides useful facilities to solve various kinds of engineering problems, but also can be simply utilized to enhance the curriculum of engineering courses. In this paper, first a summary of literature review on the application of spreadsheets was presented. Reviewing the literature of the application of Excel in different engineering fields shows that Excel was only applied for different individual applicants; while it can be utilized to implement the solution of all kinds of physical problems because of various facilities which Excel provides. In this regard, the step-by-step numerical solutions of several examples from all kinds of physical problems in civil engineering were implemented into Excel. The educational merit of this study is the stepwise implementation of Excel and Visual Basic Application (VBA) solution to simple examples of all kinds of physical problems without any advanced requirement of prior knowledge of the software. The robust performance of Excel in solving all the considered examples demonstrates that the Excel appraisal in solving engineering problems should be more addressed than what it is in the current literature.

“…Then, a pseudo quantity evaluation method is employed which supposes the allocation of scores to each system when they satisfy a particular objective of the topic. This method was proposed and applied in . The scale from 0 to 10 will be used, where 0 means that the system does not meet the particular objective and 10 means that the system best satisfy that objective.…”

The material requirements planning (MRP) is a traditional topic in operations management and industrial engineering education. This paper presents an application of custom-made selection procedure of MRP educational software. The results of evaluation from the three generations of students showed that the selected MRP educational software was very useful in acquiring advanced students' MRP skills. ß 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, we present and propose the interactive push-pull lean game with a specific approach for training/testing of production processes. With our approach of combining the psychologically effective physical lean game and the simulation lean game for deeper analyses of the production process, we can successfully overcome the communication and motivation problems of production and management workers when new production strategies are being introduced into the company to raise the competitiveness. The game only takes two hours and it has been proven to be effective with leadership teams and shop floor workers alike in more than 50 real-case production environments. The game is played in two parts where each part is in sharp contrast to the other with respect to results. Once the participants of the game see the effects of both production strategies, they become extremely engaged and motivated, and it becomes much easier to manage organizational improvements. In the third chapter of the paper, we present the Virtual factory computer models of the game dynamic, showing the same results as obtained with groups. The two simulation models serve to test and verify the interactive game. The paper ends with the discussion and conclusions.
