Sharing with other instructors within the sameinstitution is readily accommodated through features of the learning management system.A final culminating module inserted at the completion of the course encourages studentsto reflect on what they have learned and plan for continuing growth in broad, “T-shaped”skills. Learning objectives are as follows: 1. Revisit your individual strengths andweaknesses. 2. Prepare a plan for lifelong learning growth. The content and activitiesassociated with this module typically include: • Readings exploring the value of lifelong learning and

Nevertheless, Saudi Arabian, African, and Asianuniversities are also adopting lean principles in their practice6.Both newly developed and established administrative processes are potential opportunities forimprovements7. Most projects focus on operations such as financial transactions, facilitiesmanagement, human resources and library services. Based on documented results by earlyadopters in higher education, clear continuous improvement is part and parcel of organizationalstrategic planning and applied within daily operations at forward-thinking

The feedbacks from students suggest that the case study method showedthem how to use the knowledge acquired through the taught courses in solving real-life problems.1 IntroductionInvestigating what is typically involved in the Engineering Management (EM)master’s degrees as offered by the larger programs, Peterson and Humble [1]identified 28 topics or courses. Since all 28 topics cannot be included in any singleprogram the universities choose the topics in accordance to the requirements of theirconstituencies. Engineering Management is the process of planning, organising,staffing, leading and influencing people, and controlling activities

thefocus of the problems, the necessity of the clear vision of the difficulties. The investigation oftarget users needs is added to the "insights" concluded from the previous two stages, andwithin these areas there is a clear target for the shot at bull's-eye of the chosen concept. That is,after the information about the problems in this or that area is collected, it needs to select a fo-cus. The focus in this case is the combination of the "task" and the "person" in one sentence,that is, the formulation of the task, at which it is planned to work, focused on a specific user. Inorder to create the innovation, we need to solve what is not solved by the others, and every-thing else can be copied. That means, to focus on those problems and tasks that
