AB  - At the heart of student-centered learning is encouraging students to engage with course material using a variety of instructional methods within the classroom to improve student understanding and enhance their attitudes towards the subject. Use of traditional lecture alone is typically not as effective as incorporating engaging activities by means of classroom discussion, hands-on activities, demonstrations, and simulations. One method used by the instructors of the Production Operations Management Course to reinforce learning objectives is the use of hands-on, in-class, active learning exercise. For several years, the course has simulated product facility layouts using the assembly of Lego® Bionicle construction toys to reinforce the concepts of work measurement, learning curve, and line balancing. 
Instructors for the course received significant interest in their use of the Lego active learning exercise during the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Engineering Management Division’s panel on student engagement during the 2019 Annual Conference. So, as part of the Master Teaching Program at the school, course instructors assessed the effectiveness of this teaching technique using student assessment data and pre/post student surveys on attitudes towards these hands-on, in-class, active learning, exercises. This study will drive changes to course curriculum and content as well as classroom instruction as part of the department’s assessment and continuous improvement processes. The lessons learned can be applied to other Engineering Management courses to strengthen classroom instruction and student engagement.
This paper discusses the active learning exercises, the assessment methodology, and specific applications to classroom instruction and student engagement.
