While quality programs like TQM (Total Quality Management)or Kaizen a continuous improvement methodology were using similar tools (i.e. CapabilityStudies, Pareto Analysis, Designed Experiments) to improve quality, many companies found thatthey did not succeed. Where Six Sigma differs substantially from other programs is [1]: q In-depth training in statistical analysis over a three-month period in conjunction with a training project for each student. q Easy “point and click” software (Minitab) for statistical analysis available

The development methodology encourages the use of a broad base of expertise to makethe outcomes widely applicable rather than discipline specific. The methodology can be used togenerate or stimulate discussion during faculty training regarding assessment activities in general,or as applied to a specific course. It can assist new faculty or those new to assessment orevaluation activities by providing structured guidance, for either broad or specific applications.ReferencesParker, P.E., P.D. Fleming, S

The processes of the actual software system design,including related considerations are covered in section four. In section five the semi-immersiveVR implementation of the application is discussed, and finally in section six the empiricalprocedures and resulting analysis is detailed.2. BackgroundIn this section, specific technologies related to engineering education are discussed. Thisdiscussion includes the use of multimedia tools as well as simulations and accompanyingvisualization. The benefits associated with three-dimensional simulation and visualization inengineering are also touched upon as well as any related issues.In the early 1950's
