Logistics Engineering Curriculum Based on Experiential Learning Environment: An Example

This study aims at emphasizing the pedagogical methodology of Logistics Engineering, which is a branch of systems engineering dedicated to the scientific organization of the purchase, transport, storage, distribution, and warehousing of materials and finished goods. In today's environment, there is a critical need to improve acquisition program workforce training to reduce persistent problems in program outcomes related to technical performance, schedule and cost. Experiential learning is likely to be more effective if it gives students opportunities to practice what they are trying to learn applies not only to education for work. Software simulation, as a main element of instruction process, besides teaching and learning, must be conceived and realized as an effect of curricular approach of education and instruction. This way of thinking leads to a certain path in teaching methods, which will be highlighted in the Logistics Engineering curriculum.
