The IE Program at Texas State University experienced tremendous growth from 2004 to 2017. With the introduction of 2 new engineering programs and the occurrence of Covid, enrollment in the IE Program has been declining since 2018.

Sponsor: Mark Thelen

Student Team: Mark Mebane, Noah Dull and Adrian Carbajal 

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Michelle Londa

Increasing occurrences of shipping-related failures are occurring in line between HID’s Readers/Credentials/Shipping departments, resulting in inefficient operation, stress, scrap, time, and loss of income. By creating a PFMEA for each department, the number of defects should be reduced, the traceability of packages should be increased, and the profitability of the company will be maximized.
