For thepurpose of condensing the findings into this conference paper, only quotes from four interviewsubjects are included here.Three of the four interviewees quoted in this paper are tenure-track faculty members, while thefourth heads MIT’s undergraduate admissions office.

Competition.The primary goal of this study was to provide undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students inMECH 486 an introduction to lean manufacturing goals, tools, and best practices, and betterprepare students for their future careers. A secondary goal was to validate that leanmanufacturing principles can be taught to students in an introductory-level lecture, and thenapplied by students to a variety prototype projects.Background and Literature ReviewTo begin this study, two publications were reviewed to develop baseline knowledge on leanmanufacturing. The first was The Machine That Changed the World, a summary of a five yearresearch study on the automobile industry and differences between Japanese and Westernmanufacturing styles published by Womack

During our fall 2016 meeting severalIAB members expressed interest in engaging with students in support of the RED project goals.During the meeting we developed the concept of “matching” IAB members (and other interestedalumni) as mentors with student Pods. The matching would be based on mentor and Pod-members’ career directions and experiences, and more generally on their life stories, challenges,and accomplishments.The student designers have continued to interact with each other in what they refer to as a“superpod” (both because it is larger than a typical pod and because it includes representativesfrom

In the present semester,there are some EECS students taking this course in the EET 4550 course. Some aretaking the course earlier in their career and they should be better able to use theexperience gained in the course together with co-op to find a better job offer.Conclusion:At this time, the main concern for these courses is the need for the EECS department toadd an hour to their course and encourage it earlier in the student’s experience.

Almost all students entering our BME curriculum believe that BMEgraduates conduct research, and many of these students have unrealistic notions about theamount of attention to detail required in a research career. Because of these perceptions, thecourse often comes as a shock to students in the class because of the mismatch between thestudents’ expectations and the reality of engineering.

Because the institution’s primary goal is to train officers to serve in the United StatesArmy, the authors examined the Army’s Leader Development Strategy. This documentdescribes the rationale behind leader development, the environment in which the training occurs,and the strategy for developing leaders. One excerpt that stood out is how the documentdescribes leader development as a “career-long synthesis of training, education and experiences”and goes on to describe the “self
