We saw the technical coordination themeas encompassing project and process management, and improving organizational systems asdone through Lean manufacturing or Six Sigma. Thirty percent of individuals in the surveytalked about these skills of “project planning and monitoring” and “process improvement.”Interviewees also discussed the importance of this skill. As one interviewee described, “We hadthis product that we were struggling making outside due to issues with the supplier, beingconsistent with delivery, quality, and cost. Much of the problem was our problem of having poorprocesses in managing that supplier.” He then described how he helped manage the team which

Because of the inherent passive style oflecture-based instruction, students are missing out on the opportunity to be active participants intheir own learning which could affect learning outcomes[12, 13].

The concept was that we would bring in a professor duringhis or her non-teaching term (most likely during the summer), and we would have them workside-by-side with our regular engineers on whatever projects we were already working on. Weviewed this as a high-end version of a student co-op. Presumably, the faculty member would beable to hit the ground running regarding many of the tasks we were working on.
