the Six Sigma Green Belt certification . The document also lists a number of questions, indicating a relative weighting of topic importance. For the green belt certification the define and measure phases are emphasized. A cursory review of the topic list reveals many topics normally included in Manufacturing Engineering and Technology programs. The body of knowledge clearly includes theoretical elements, such as statistics, that are core to most undergraduate programs. Other elements are emphasized through projects and laboratory experiences including teamwork and data collection. Additional details can be found on the ASQ website ( http://www.asq.org ). I.

Leaves with Industry: Three ExperiencesIntroductionOne approach to developing and strengthening relationships between universities and industry isto have tenured faculty members engage in one-to-two semester sabbatical leaves at an industrysite. Personal relationships between the faculty member and managers/engineers at the host siteare developed; graduate students can become involved in a way that leads to a masters ordoctoral degree research topic; follow-on contracts and publishable results often benefit thefaculty visitor; new methods/technology introduced by the faculty visitor, and introductions toother faculty members with specific expertise, can benefit the industrial host.In contrast, most sabbatical leaves involve leaves of absence for
