when both the ECE and Industrial and Manufacturing (IME)departments at our College modified their capstone design courses into a two-semester projectformat, compatible with the format already being used by ME. This has allowed a substantialexpansion of our interdepartmental collaboration on multidisciplinary projects. In the rest of thissection, we briefly review the evolution process of our efforts to foster a systematic integrationof more multidisciplinary projects to enhance our College’s senior capstone design curriculum. Curriculum Modifications. Several major changes in the capstone design curricula inboth the ECE and IME departments have enabled better integration of the multidisciplinarydesign experience at our College

A number of organizations have failed in the implementation of LeanManufacturing by failing to sustain it [2], [3] & [8]. This is primarily due to lack ofsufficient number of trained employees to reach a critical mass for organizationaltransformation. Training all employees in the principles of Lean is a critical part of Leanimplementation process. Educational institutions can do their part by incorporating Leanwithin their curriculum.
