As the students’ profile and the industry’s expectations change over time, universities must adopt learning methodologies to deliver more suitable graduates to the labor market. The Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB) has been developing experiential learning practices by implementing challenge-based learning (CBL) to enrich undergraduates’ curricula. One example reflected in the CBL experiences developed by Taquiña Brewery, one of the five breweries of the Cervecería Boliviana Nacional (CBN), and the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of the UPB between 2018 and 2019. As a result, the students widely accepted the methodology, and academics from all disciplines were trained to replicate CBL experiences in their classrooms. While CBN found the opportunity to hire new talent, receive a fresh perspective on recurrent operational issues, and find new ideas based on theoretical concepts. This work contributes to the exemplification of innovative approaches to enhance the teaching and learning of Supply Chain Management and Logistics. ©The authors, IEEE.

This Innovative Practice Work in Progress Paper presents a contemporary proposal for engineering competencies assessment research in higher education practice, geared to pedagogy scholars, engineering faculty, recruiters and accreditation institutions, among others. This research work builds a breakthrough practice to assess disciplinary competencies within the context of a Challenge-Based Learning and Experiential Learning, in which students learn through getting involve and taking action in real manufacturing problems, creating and implementing sustainable solutions for Engineering concerns. The study presents a state of art review of Competency-based Education; then the competencies assessment methodology proposal and their experimentation approach is described by means of a specific case of study in an experiential and challenged based learning, for exemplification. Finally, implications, future work and conclusions are offered in relation to the main contributions of this work. The main intention for the methodology presented in this work is to deliver value-added feedback to students to help them in their future engineering practice as professionals and the individual blossoming of their behaviors', attitudes and values, extending with this approach the practices described in this paper to pedagogical research and educational practice from others practitioners. ©IEEE, The authors.

Logistics companies played a vital role in the supply and distribution of products in a timely and effective manner during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research sought to know how financial authorities in these companies managed the financial process and how they approached resolving issues due to the economic and financial problems experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using data from 30 experts from the accounting-finance departments of logistics companies, we found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a decrease in revenues of the logistics companies in Turkey and increased demands for loan payments before their maturity date. According to this study, the most important factors affecting logistics companies during this health crisis were unpredictable changes in exchange rates, currency depreciation (Turkish lira), and increased rental fees. Through this research, we learned how the economic and financial problems experienced by logistics companies were managed by financial experts during the COVID-19 pandemic. ©IEEE
