©2024, American Society for Engineering Education ETD 535Although automation can also improve quality, financial costs need to be considered whilekeeping profitability factors in mind [3]. So, why haven’t these invaluable tools been prioritizedfor secondary and post-secondary learners? That is a good question. Lean practices encompasspractical problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, personal life efficiency, careerreadiness, sustainability, adaptability, life skills, business concepts, troubleshooting, andinnovation. Not only are these tools useful in industry applications, but these skills are also vitalto prepare students both

An intriguing theme was Proceedings of the 2024 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2024, American Society for Engineering Education ETD 535that returner engineering graduate students have skills and habits of mind that they willinglyutilize in graduate work. Instructors can draw on these skills in a more intentional manner toincrease learning for all students.Literature ReviewCommunities of PracticeThe contributions of

exercises and case studies used in that initial year. Then because of theinitial work accomplished during that first year, we were able to approach the course design withmore of an “inverse approach,” or the well-known backward design [5] i.e., instead of designingthe course and seeing what outcomes resulted, we were able to start with the outcomes desiredand design the course to meet them.A real boost came from a well-developed example provided by Dr. Dillon from when she hadtaught engineering ethics at a previous institution and had prepared an innovative class projectwith ABET criterion achievements in mind. We were able to adapt this case study so that asstudents worked through it, they would hopefully experience learning related to all three

Furthermore, former students have come back totell the faculty that they have used the excel spreadsheet they developed for the project. Havingfaculty colleagues’ workload in mind and for easy implementation in their own courses, links tothe course syllabus, project assignment, and two student final reports were provided.

These classactivities have also been adapted for use as a recruiting tool. They are effective at engagingstudent interest when used with presentations to prospective students.BackgroundWhile attempting to move a manufacturing engineering technology program to the hyflexdelivery mode, a grant was received to explore the conversion of traditional in-lab experiences toat-home options. The goal was to use inexpensive, readily available parts and materials tosimulate the in-lab experience
