30 creditsConclusionA methodology to apply principles of Six Sigma and quality improvement to the field ofacademics was demonstrated in this paper. We intend to keep updating the curriculum as howimportant changes will need to be made with the development of future scenarios andtechnologies. However, it has been demonstrated that considerable streamlining of the process ofcurriculum development can be achieved by the application of six sigma principles to saidprocess.References1.
