The purpose of this course was to providestudents with a background in industrial quality, focusing on techniques that yield better productsand processes. The key topics covered are managing for quality, models for continuousimprovement, describing processes, statistical process control and quality function deployment.The adapted B & S case study would serve as a platform to measure the effectiveness of this casestudy in delivering instruction on how to use quality deployment function in industrial practice.The quality function deployment process has made inroads as one of the

In the past, facultywere informed at the beginning of the semester of any accommodations a student required, withaccompanying official forms from Disability Services detailing what the accommodations wereand how they would be implemented. However, the response from IT was that the EEAAP mustbe developed by individual faculty teaching the course(s) that use the technology in question, notDisability Services.Communications with the IT Accessibility TeamThe response from the IT Accessibility Team that the EEAAP was the responsibility ofindividual faculty, not Disability Services, resulted in multitudes of

This approach, according to Felder, “lead[s] to increased motivation to learn,greater retention of knowledge, deeper understanding, and more positive attitudes toward thesubject being taught.”10 Students are engaged in critical thinking. This is not a new idea inpedagogical practice. In 1956, Benjamin Bloom developed a classification of levels ofintellectual behavior important in learning. He identified six levels within the cognitive domain,from the simple recall or recognition of facts, at the lowest level, through increasingly

of sustainability, based on the above responses, is presented in this paper.The framework introduces students to the various conceptual tools that they will use to understand theenvironmental consequences of different inputs that go into manufacturing. Then these identified concepts areproperly distributed within the various courses on manufacturing science, manufacturing operations, andmanufacturing design. The framework is deliberately kept open so that schools that are so interested canfurther adjust the structure to develop a curriculum that is better suited to their available resources.
