 Greeting from the Department Chair

[https://mcusercontent.com/e0b10319d8442e27906c22d74/images/8520e5a7-833a-49a2-9e1c-457102d07832.jpg]
Greetings from the new Chair of the IME department! I am excited to share good news regarding the department during the Spring semester of 2022. For the first time, the IME department has secured a position for an Associate Chair, and Dr. Saeideh Fallahfini has been appointed for this important role. Following the IME department's strategic planning effort, she will be spearheading the strategic doing effort in the department, among other important responsibilities. As a part of the strategic doing effort, we are planning to define actions that help us to improve course scheduling, strengthen relationships among students and faculty, and improve communication and transparency.
As the department's new Chair, my vision for the manufacturing program is to enhance the program to the state of the art by modernizing the labs and improving the course content. Recent statistics show an increasing trend towards advanced manufacturing hiring in the job market; as one of the few programs in the field, we are well-positioned to tap into this opportunity and become "the place" where manufacturing engineers are trained. For the industrial engineering program, we continue to enhance the program by upgrading the course content and including software aligned with the latest trends and technologies demanded from our graduates in the field.
To realize this ambitious plan, we have been working to rebuild our industry connections and secure donations during the spring semester. With generous donations from our alumni and industry partners, our automation lab is undergoing a major overhaul. Additionally, committees within the department are actively working on including leadership modules in our curriculum, improving and standardizing course contents. All these efforts are happening just in time for the upcoming ABET visit in Fall 2023!
As we all know, the Spring semester didn't start as we had hoped and planned. Due to the surge of the COVID-19 cases in the area, we had to resort back to the virtual mode of instruction for the first three weeks of the semester. However, as of Feb 14th, we are back in-person, and in our department, 95% of the classes are being conducted in-person. With the return of in-person instructions, student and faculty travel can once more become a possibility. Our faculty and students have been able to attend conferences and student competitions and rank highly among their peers. I am grateful that despite the interruptions caused by the pandemic at the beginning of the semester, our faculty, students, and staff have been patient, flexible, resilient and have worked hard not just to weather these changes, but to thrive.

Graduates have been hired by corporations in aerospace industries, defense contractors, commercial manufacturers, utility and communication companies, in addition to healthcare. The program is currently offered in a hybrid format which is a blend of online and in-person instructions. Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on how to design, develop, lead, implement and evaluate complex systems.

Tim and Vy Li’s Generous Donation

[https://mcusercontent.com/e0b10319d8442e27906c22d74/_compresseds/6c6c1748-c710-072e-ba10-0b84c89c8bd8.jpg]
Tim and Vy Li have been generous with their $120,000 donation to the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering department. Vy (standing in the middle in the photo) is sharing her inspiring journey and motivations behind their philanthropic activities:

Tim and myself (Vy Li) together we share similar views on engineering and therefore have become Industrial Engineers for life. We both received our Bachelor’s degrees in Industrial and Systems Engineering at SJSU (San Jose State University) in 2003. Tim continued on and pursued a Master’s degree in Operations Research at USC (University of Southern California) in 2004, and I recently completed my Master’s degree in Systems Engineering at CPP (Cal Poly Pomona) in 2021. In 2016, we started our own business and founded Constellation FinTech. Constellation FinTech is an end-to-end lending company that provides a lending software platform, AI (Artificial Intelligence), data analytics, and operational services provider for financial services.

My parents and I escaped Vietnam’s Communism by boat in 1981 as Vietnamese refugee survivors and immigrants. We survived the dark horrors at various places such as at sea as well as the Pulau Bidong’s refugee camp in Malaysia.  My family was very fortunate and lucky given that we were picked by lottery to go to Canada, under the Private Sponsorship Refugee Program. Growing up, both of my parents always worked 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. Something inside of me always made me feel I should accomplish more in life and become more deserving without compromising family. The choices I’ve made throughout life have all been in efforts to provide my four kids and provide them an even greater opportunity as they deserve a better life.

The support and quality of education I received at CPP changed my life forever.  I shall forever be grateful for the support I received from my advisors and mentors Dr. Payam Parsa and Dr. Shokoufeh Mirzaei. I’ve been so blessed to have these two educators cast a positive influence on me. It is my pleasure and honor to help other students pursue their goals and dreams.

I personally believe that education is a pathway that opens doors, and yield opportunities that provide a better life. Each year, CPP accepts, supports, and helps immigrant students earn their degrees. The quality of the staff and faculty along with CPP’s continuous mission to cultivate success through a diverse culture, is what inspired me to give back.

IISE OR Teaching Award

[https://mcusercontent.com/e0b10319d8442e27906c22d74/images/f9a481ff-571b-9c2f-4a83-f83366bfab46.jpg]
Each Year, the OR division of IISE presents an annual national award recognizing excellence in teaching operations research. The award is presented at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo, May 22-25, 2021. This year, Dr. Shokoufeh Mirzaei, Associate Professor and Chair of the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department from Cal Poly Pomona is the recipient of this award. She has recently been elected as the U.S. Western Regional VP for IISE. Shokoufeh is being recognized for her effort in developing textbooks and course materials as well as her teaching style in the area of Operations Research. More details on her OR teaching journey:

Starting in 2012 Dr. Mirzaei began teaching IE 4160 - Operations Research course. She modified the course to be partially hybrid beginning in 2015, in which she taught face-to-face and some online sections. She created three YouTube playlists<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fc%2FShokoufehMirzaeiCPP%2Fplaylists&data=05%7C01%7Csmirzaei%40cpp.edu%7C91032254da664a956ef908da3a061317%7C164ba61e39ec4f5d89ffaa1f00a521b4%7C0%7C0%7C637886095070054848%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Ik2lm8BdpTTdiNhRJeBIgvlbCioBIKxTfe9Cdggc0Lo%3D&reserved=0> (two that focus on operations research, and one that focuses on data analytics) which are publicly available and widely utilized with 12.5K subscribers and over 2 million views. The videos have garnered enough views to generate a small amount of income, which allows her to self-support the cost of video production. In 2016 she was the recipient of the Wall of COOL award for her effort to develop material for the IE-4160 course. Wall of COOL celebrates exemplar course design and development by Cal Poly Pomona faculty for student success using technology. In 2017, Dr. Mirzaei authored a multi-media, non-traditional textbook<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhe.kendallhunt.com%2Fproduct-listing%3Fsearch_api_views_fulltext%3D%26search_api_views_fulltext_1%3DShokoufeh%2520Mirzaei%26search_api_views_fulltext_3%3D%26field_product_format_field_isbn_number%3D%26sort_by%3Dtitle2%26sort_order%3DASC%26items_per_page%3D10&data=05%7C01%7Csmirzaei%40cpp.edu%7C91032254da664a956ef908da3a061317%7C164ba61e39ec4f5d89ffaa1f00a521b4%7C0%7C0%7C637886095070054848%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=aZ5TuZo0e%2FM8MAtrKZzoJ%2F24THszTRrEJjdB4csgWG8%3D&reserved=0> which offered greater depth and affordability compared to the 1420-page textbook "Operation Research: Application and Algorithm" written by Wayne L. Winston which covered a wider range of topics but did not offer the depth she wanted for her students in IE 4160. The course became fully hybrid beginning in 2017, making her ahead of the curve for what would be needed for teaching in the years yet to come. The course assessment results showed that hybrid classes were the most optimal for student learning and outcomes for the operations research topics. In the new education landscape that started in 2020, the course was taught hybrid synchronous and asynchronous, using the syllabus that was already in place but switching the face-to-face portions to live web video conferencing and utilizing the online videos to aid in the instruction for an asynchronous portion of the course.
