Abstract: An open-ended experiment is where students are given the freedom to develop their own experiments, instead of merely following the already set guidelines from a lab manual or elsewhere. Making labs open-ended pushes students to think for themselves and think harder. Outcome-based education is an educational theory that bases each part of an educational system around goals (outcomes). Outcome-based methods have been adopted in education systems around the world, at multiple levels. Measuring program-specific outcomes in engineering education is a challenge for teaching faculty in general and doing so for a laboratory program and through an open-ended experiment is even more challenging. This paper explains the planning and execution of open-ended experiment in Industrial Engineering and Simulation Laboratory and also it focuses on the evaluation process, rubrics developed, and attainment of program-specific outcome in Industrial and Production Engineering Program.
