Page 24.759.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Innovative Teaching of Product Design and Development in an Engineering Management Master ProgramAbstract: Engineering Management is a discipline that is not rigidly defined and theMaster Programs attract students with different undergraduate disciplines. Studentsare attracted towards Engineering Management only at the Masters’ level and it isdifficult to incorporate all topics in the Masters’ curriculum. Therefore a choice has tobe made. Some programs give more emphasis for Product

Although six sigma has been successfully used inproduct and service improvement in the business environment, the concept has not been adaptedin higher education. To improve understanding of how six sigma can be used for highereducation process improvement toward achievement of quality, a number of models arepresented. Six sigma principles such as process improvement, reducing waste and continuousimprovement aligns closely with the mission of higher education institutions and accreditationagencies. Using six sigma tools such as

Engineering (COE)wanted to teach eight of 10 courses. With the help of the Provost, a compromise was reachedallowing the COB to teach three of 10 courses while COE taught seven of 10 courses. Therevenue for the three COB courses goes entirely to the COB with all administrative costs coveredby the COE. In addition to the quality of the COB courses, another benefit of having three COBcourses in our engineering management program has been enhanced student enrollments. Ourprospective students are very impressed with the COB courses in our curriculum. I would verystrongly advise others who may be considering the development of an engineering managementprogram to work with their COB early on during the proposal phase to reach a compromiseregarding both

is preparing the units for ClinicalTesting. Integration of the Engineering College’s multidisciplinary electronic, software andmechanical design disciplines developed the design. The engineering corporation sponsored aninternship for project feasibility. Subsequently the corporation sponsored three Capstone Teams,in the 2011/2011academic year, which built and designed a proof-of-concept operational unit. Asubsequent sponsorship of two Capstone Teams in 2012/2013 produced an engineeringprototype. Presently a single five-student-member Capstone Team is preparing two functionalunits for Clinical Testing. An audiologist from a local medical clinic has provided directmentoring and patient testing support. The paper also describes the
