Wellness programs for undergraduate students
Introduction
Industrial engineering mainly deals with design, improvement and fixing of incorporated systems of individuals, machines and other necessary materials in order to benefit men. It works together with mathematical and scientific skills in order to allow integration of these systems which are useful and important to human kind. The industrial engineering department is aimed at providing specialized services in order to improve the learning time, project improvements as well as enhancement of jobs.
Industrial engineering is a useful field in creation of awareness and improvements in the programs for undergraduate students. The firs usefulness of industrial engineering is the fact that it helps undergraduates to identify various problems. The main problem here is health problems as a result of increase in medical services. The person is able to loran more about the job using many techniques such as tables and charts (Nevova, 2004). The person is able to learn facts related to the job through critical examination of major questions. The person through critical analysis is able to get solutions for the health problems through looking at all alternatives and choosing the best solution to solve this rising health problem. This is a major concept used by undergraduate students and learned from the department of industrial engineering. Industrial engineering is aimed at guiding undergraduates to make the best decisions and solutions for problems occurred (Nevova, 2004). Planning and control is a major technique used by undergraduates in order for them to achieve set goals and objectives they intend to achieve. According to the theory of decision making, many undergraduates are able to make excellent decisions which enables them achieve their set objectives and aims.
Productivity is a key concept undergraduates are able to learn from the department of industrial engineering. The undergraduate student is able to learn the type of jobs in the market as well as make sensible decisions on which job to venture. The undergraduate is able to learn factors affecting productivity as well as methods to improve productivity. Manpower is necessary in job production as well as machinery and other necessary materials. Industrial engineering is also concerned with healthy living of undergraduates (Nevova, 2004). It is important to learn that less manpower in most hospitals lead to increase of medical costs which in turn contribute to poor health to most people. Obesity is one of negative consequence that comes with increase in medical bills. Wellness programs are offered by most employers and health care workers in order to improve the health conditions of most people. In order for employers and health workers to solve this problem, decision-making is the key strategy. Involvement of top managers as well as other employees is important to enhance good decision making strategies which eventually lead to solving of the health problem (Nevova, 2004). Productivity as a key industrial engineering concept is used to solve the health problem as well as reduce costs of medical services.
Wellness programs are aimed at motivating undergraduates. The programs are aimed at solving health problems of employees and improving heath care services for their employees. Obesity is a key contributing factor to health problems in many United States organizations. Most of the youths are obese (Dr Khallel, 2011). This is a major concern not only to organizations but the government as well. Undergraduates are the most targeted especially the ones far from their homes together with children. Industrial engineering through the concept of planning and control has come up with ways of solving obesity problem (Story et al, 2009).Wellness programs have implemented use of various techniques in order to solve this problem affecting many youths in America. The individuals are advised to eat health food as well as involve themselves in exercises. Eating of fruits, vegetables and regular drinking of water is the key factor to control obesity and other weight related complications. Junk food should be avoided since from the research conducted by wellness programs most undergraduates consume junk (Myers, 2004). Gaming theory a major technique from industrial engineering is used and enhanced in order to solve weight related disorders. Employers and organizations using wellness programs have increased thereby reducing the productivity cost. Medical costs have been decreased as one way of solving this obesity problem (Story et al, 2009). Problem solving skills are key contributing factor to wellness organizations use of industrial techniques. Non governmental as well as governmental organizations are major tools in advocating for usefulness of wellness programs. Most undergraduates have been taught the technique of saving in order to cater for their health problems. Savings enable people reduce the mode of eating and adapt healthy eating lifestyles. Fitness classes are readily available at most learning institutions which has encouraged health living standards (Story et al, 2009). Group cooperation is one important technique of industrial engineering. Group leaders are likely to be spread the usefulness of wellness programs to the undergraduates since they belong to the same level. Group leaders are likely to identify problems of undergraduates more unlike other people. Industrial engineering concepts are necessary and used by wellness programs in the spread of better health standards.
Conclusion
From the above discussion it is evidently observed that wellness programs are readily used in America in order to solve health problems. Wellness programs learn the techniques from use of industrial engineering concepts which identifies the problem and critically provide solutions to identified problems. Wellness programs are therefore important and should be maintained in order to solve weight related complications in undergraduates as well as other individuals.
