II. Capstone Projects Experience

Senior Design is the capstone design course in the industrial engineering curriculum at Georgia Tech. Students form teams and identify, scope, and execute projects for real-world clients. The teams are assigned faculty advisors in order to ensure that the methods and solutions used by the teams are based upon the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework and that students incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiple design constraints into their solutions. I have been the faculty advisor for several semesters at Georgia Tech, during that time I do the above and interact with the students frequently and monitor them closely throughout the semester through weekly meetings, client presentations, e-mail communications, question and answer sessions, and report and presentation reviews. Below is the list of projects I advised since joining Georgia Tech.

Spring 2015: RaceTrack: Gas Levels Inventory Planning and Truck Scheduling Phillips 66: Locating a New Distribution Center and Product Mix Optimization NCR: Inventory Optimization

Fall 2014: McKesson: A-Frame Slotting Tool

Spring 2014 (co-advisor with Andrea Laliberte): Pepsi: Raw Materials Inventory Management American Breast Care: Incremental Production Capacity Expansion Plan

Dima Nazzal – CV Page 4 of 18

Fall 2013: Emory Endocrinology: A Stochastic Optimization Approach to Appointment Scheduling in Healthcare Emory Orthopedic Clinic: Improving Clinical Operations US Environmental Protection Agency: Facility Redesign Kellogg’s: Sanitation Cycle Optimization: PERT Model & Critical Path Analysis

Spring 2013: McKesson: Distribution Center Optimization Spectral Response: Pick Time Optimization Centro de Agencias: Inventory Strategy Redesign Avnet: Facility Consolidation and Layout

III. Major Course Development/Revision Activities

Georgia Tech: 1. ISYE 3104: Supply Chain Models in Manufacturing and Warehousing: With a grant from the GT

Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL), the course has been flipped, wherein a set of short videos are created and integrated into the course. The students watch the videos prior to coming to class, and the class time is dedicated to team-based problem solving activities.

UCF: The following courses involved major revisions and enhancements: 1. EIN 6336: Production and Inventory Control – This is a core course in the IE Doctoral Program. In

addition to the activities required when preparing a new course, I a. increased the level of theoretical grounding and mathematical rigor b. invited a guest lecturer from a leading supply chain management solutions provider

company to cover “Emerging Topics in Supply Chain Management”

2. EIN 5346: Engineering Logistics – This is an elective course that had not been taught in at least three academic years prior to my teaching it in Spring 2008; I entirely redesigned this graduate‐level and the redesign highlights include:

a. Coverage of several more contemporary, theoretical course topics not covered in previous semesters, including multi-echelon inventory management, network planning, value of information in supply chains, supply chain strategies, distribution strategies, strategic alliances, procurement and outsourcing, and smart pricing

b. Assignment of a mixture of individual and team case study based assignments and term papers

3. EIN 4333: Production and Distribution Systems – This is a core undergraduate course that had not

been revised for the three academic years prior to my teaching it in Spring 2009. The highlights of my redesign activities include:

a. The use of Littlefield Technologies Game, a web-based simulator of a simple factory; students access their factories from web pages, form teams and manage their factories by purchasing and selling machines, changing inventory order policies, etc.; students learn to make decisions in response to the historical records of inventory levels, queue lengths,

Dima Nazzal – CV Page 5 of 18

machines’ utilization, lead times, cash flows, and based on their position relative to the competing teams

b. Inviting a guest speaker from the supply chain management industry to give a presentation on “The Evolution of Supply Chain Planning”

c. Created a blog to encourage students to post their thoughts; the blog is a collection of professional reflective statements and questions on particular topics, projects, papers, teams, time management and research skills, etc.; timely feedback allows me to quickly assess student comprehension, generate ideas for discussion, etc.

4. ESI 5219: Engineering Statistics – This course is part of the Professional Engineering Management

Program which focuses on high-achieving working professionals selected by their own organizations, I use both an online learning approach and a live, intensive learning session. The course in the described format had never been offered prior to my teaching it in Spring 2009. I designed the course to include videos, case studies, and readings relevant to working professionals, all-day learning sessions and a group project and guest lecturers from industry to provide the students with real-world applications of classroom theories.

IX. Mentorship Activities to Student Advisees

Dima Nazzal – CV Page 9 of 18

Career path mentorship includes securing teaching experiences (as TAs or instructors) for doctoral and masters students who show an interest in pursuing academic careers; giving them feedback on cover letters, CVs and resumes; preparing them for job interviews and post-interview follow-ups, negotiations, and post-hiring career advancement. Heavily involved in mentoring undergraduates who are applying to graduate schools. Providing feedback on different schools, helping with application materials, writing reference letters, and including them in my research projects to strengthen their resumes.

Instructional activities training: conducting training sessions for TAs on how to manage classroom, how to provide the proper amount of help and guidance, how to design assignments with different levels of difficulty, and how to give useful feedback on graded assignments.
