administrators in healthcare journals and engineers inengineering journals indicate that the use of industrial engineering methods by interdisciplinaryteams is having a positive effect on the delivery of healthcare.8,9, 10,11This paper documents aspects of our fifteen year history of collaboration between MercerUniversity Department of Industrial Engineering and healthcare facilities in Georgia. It includesboth a summary of the successes and an exploration of the challenges faced as these relationshipswere built and sustained. The resulting lessons learned will, we believe, give valuable insightsand advice to faculty members and programs who are embarking on similar collaborations.Opportunities and SuccessesPartnerships with healthcare providers for

notstatistically significant to success in the quality control course. However, the student’s priorsemester GPA, incoming cumulative GPA, and performance in the prerequisite course aresignificant to success in the quality control course.Background and MotivationThe quality control course at East Carolina University is a graduation requirement for allstudents majoring in engineering. For the majority of these students it is a terminating course inthe area of statistics within their curriculum plan since it is not a prerequisite for any othercourse. For a small minority, an elective course in lean six sigma is taken that requires qualitycontrol as a prerequisite. The quality control course prerequisite is a calculus-based probabilityand statistics course in
