qualityprocedures, yet many employers find newly hired technical graduates unprepared to apply qualitycontrol concepts learned in the classroom. Skills and experiences beyond basic coursework areoften necessary for meaningful and correct application of quality control concepts16. Mosttechnical manufacturing programs require some level of quality control training including basiccoverage of quality management concepts and statistical data analysis, but offer little insight intoimplementation issues and the practical problems faced by industry4. This approach can be quiteeffective in establishing a basic understanding of quality control theory, but may leave gaps in astudent’s ability to successfully apply that understanding in the manufacturing

We are not sure what isthe cause for this prior knowledge. It may be that our students have a “hands-on”background that is greater than we had anticipated.Unfortunately, there are also some topics that were covered in the course, but which thestudents apparently did not learn very well. This is shown in Table 5 below. Table 5 Topics that were covered in the class, but where the students still did poorly Average per Average per Question

A one-time retroactive survey found participants reportedstatistically significant interest in STEM careers based on participation in an OST program.
