Yi-Su Chen, Ph.D. (University of Minnesota) I am a faculty member at COB. I have taught various courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In the graduate courses that she taught, Dr. Chen coached and helped the student team prepare for the Great Lakes APICS 2015 competition. The graduate students took third place and was awarded $1000, outperforming students from Purdue University, Indiana University, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The most recent successful story involved coaching a group of graduate students across COB and CECS in the 4flow North America case competition, 2020. The student won the third place in this nationwide competition. She also encouraged and involved her students to work on projects that serve to the broader community. One project of such effort focused on Network Design for Detroit Fire Department and was featured on the 2nd Annual Engagement Day. The most recent community partnership involves the recycling service with the City of Dearborn. Another high-impact project involved working with Ford Motor Company on a sustainability project that provides students with an opportunity to bridge gaps between industry and academic, between different disciplines on campus, and even across national boundaries.
