Lean Six Sigma has been adopted by manycompanies the world over, and is proving crucial to technology firms that need flexible, low-volume, high-product-mix (i.e., highly variegated or customized) production to serve theirmarkets. Lean Six Sigma applied to nanotechnology is challenging due to its novelty, especiallyin relation to Lean Sigma developments in more traditional industries such as automobiles,aerospace, and electronics
Machine Design course is taught after the students takePhysics, Statics and Mechanics of Materials as well as Calculus sequence and DifferentialEquations. This course involves application of concepts and principles learned in these coursesand apply those to the analysis and design of mechanical components and sub-assemblies used inautomotive, aerospace and other industrial applications and devices. The principles and conceptsused in these courses include solution of simple algebraic and differential equations, staticequilibrium of rigid bodies, stress and deflection analysis of deformable bodies and othermiscellaneous topics from Mathematics and Physics. The design components includetransmission shafts, bearings, bolts, and miscellaneous torque
others, which are all around us.” An example would be an aerospace launch vehicle withmultiple stages. The launch vehicle will experience dynamic temperatures, pressures, andgravitational effects while traveling through distinct settings in the atmosphere into space.Systems Processes within Engineering Design Optimization. Engineering requires that the designer meet multiple, possibly conflicting,requirements or constraints through optimization5, 15, 30, 32. Optimization is generally an iterativeprocess that balances trade-offs. These trade-offs may include the competition of performanceversus cost, robustness versus social constraints, and time versus environmental impacts.Although the components in trade-offs may be considered

the self-efficacy of female engineering students engaged in engineering specific tasks reported that self-efficacy between genders is not significantly different.17 For example, in a study of 429 male and84 female students taking a mechanical and aerospace engineering course, Stump and hercolleagues, 2011, found no gender difference for either performance or self-efficacy. 17 If evidence exists that women have high self-efficacy for engineering, the questionremains, why are women not choosing engineering, and when they choose it why do they notpersist? The answer is not the under-performance of female engineers. In a study designed toexamine the academic performance of students who drop out of engineering programs

Effectively analyze, design, and implement feasible, suitable, effective, supportable, affordable, and integrated solutions throughout the life cycle of systems of systems, enterprises, services, and products. This could be tailored by explicitly stating the types of systems that graduates develop and a given domain (e.g., aerospace or telecommunications) or by specifying a portion of the system life cycle.2.

nationwide (e.g., Brandt, 2009; Cech, 2007; Spellman, 2007). The program is a sequence of year-long courses designed to teach engineering and problemsolving concepts to high school students. The curriculum is divided into two strata (Taylor,Foster, & Ratcliff, 2006)—foundation courses (Introduction to Engineering Design andPrinciples of Engineering) and specialization courses (Aerospace Engineering; BiotechnicalEngineering; Civil Engineering and Architecture; Computer Integrated Manufacturing; andDigital Electronics). The sequence of courses ends with a capstone course (Engineering Designand Development) which requires students to take their own idea from design throughdevelopment. In addition, Gateway to Technology is offered in middle
