Supply Chain Management Teaching Assistant
Designed instructional materials, assignments, and simulation-based activities for a new Supply Chain Management course.
01 / Overview
I supported the development of a new Supply Chain Management course at Iowa State University. My work focused on helping design instructional materials, assignments, and simulation-based learning activities that made supply-chain behavior easier to understand through applied examples.
02 / Technical focus
This role combined instructional design, systems thinking, simulation-based learning, and supply-chain modeling. It strengthened my ability to explain technical concepts clearly, design structured learning workflows, and communicate complex system behavior to other students.
03 / What I worked on
- Developed instructional materials and assignments for a new Supply Chain Management course.
- Designed Beer Game simulations to model the Bullwhip Effect and show how local decisions can create system-wide supply-chain instability.
- Helped translate abstract supply-chain concepts into structured classroom activities and practical examples.
- Supported simulation-based learning around inventory behavior, demand variability, ordering policies, lead times, and operational tradeoffs.
- Contributed to course materials that helped students connect engineering decision-making with real supply-chain dynamics.
