In eachproject, the students applied the DMAIC principles toward achieving their goal, learning thelanguage and function of Six Sigma as they progress [18]. By applying DMAIC, students wereable to achieve their goals and familiarize themselves with the system.The problems associated with change management is challenging in higher education due to thenature of the environment that promotes academic freedom.

The use of more than a singleinstructor is an attempt to enable a more representative sample of the type of instruction that astudent experiences during his/her academic career at the university. This use of multipleinstructors will also help minimize the effect of a given instructors influence on student success.This paper is not examining the effects of differing attendance policies among differentinstructors but it should be noted that there is not a single universal policy in use by the

For those students who are interested in and knowledgeable about a specificengineering discipline, does the introductory course strengthen that interest? For those studentswho are unsure about what specific engineering discipline to choose, are the students more likelyto be interested in a specific engineering discipline at the end of the course?

It is thebelief of many that if students can be properly engaged in the learning process early on in theireducation career, with theories and concepts being successfully taught to students, they will findthe course relevant and enlightening, and will be more likely to continue along their chosen pathof education. One problem that arises is determining what is meant by ‘properly engaged’, andhow this can be accomplished in the short amount of time we have with students in our courses.Introductory STEM courses provide the building blocks for student success in later courses, andin the Fundamentals of Engineering (F.E
