Figure 1: The Lean CycleValue DefinitionThe focus of this paper is on improving teaching efficiency for engineering faculty. Efficiency,however, is insufficient if the teaching is not effective. As such, this paper defines value as thecreation of an Efficient and Effective Engineering Educational Experience (5E). This includesboth student and instructor, though our focus here is on the instructor side of this value.Defining the Value StreamThe value stream is the process that produces the value. In a manufacturing process, the valuestream is typically a sequential process where a manufactured part goes from raw material tofinished product in a set

I really hope that the Smith engineering education will allowme to look at problems as a whole or at least be more aware of what my blind spots are/what things I may be lessknowledgeable about so that I will be able to look at problems more holistically and not create more problems bytrying to solve one problem.”Elements of SuccessThere are three main elements to the course design that were especially effective in this course: (1) The students were members of a strong cohort.

They may need time to explore whether or not their interests and abilities are sufficient toeffectively learn the mathematics and science that are prerequisite for success in engineering.They may need more exposure to engineering to make a final commitment to the intenseeducation process that lies in front of them.Such students have unique advising and educational needs.

Class experience withstudents who lack background in microprocessor systems has shown that Figure 2 sends a veryclear image to students on how microcontrollers work, and also it heavily simplifies the learningprocess in the next topics on microcontrollers. Since there are many types of microcontrollers in the market with different capabilities de-pending on the number and functions of its I/O ports and system memory, students must be taughtto understand that each manufacturers provides all details on the critical information about eachof their microcontrollers.

The reliability portion is meant to furtherstrengthen knowledge of basic probability concepts, while at the same time introducing animportant application. The remainder of the course is completely new material for most of thestudents. It is a standard part of the industrial engineering curriculum, although I suspect thatvery few students who learn it in a traditional way will ever apply it.As theory, probability is rich and beautiful, and students should be taught to appreciate it.

First, the engineering education reforming taking place in China will be described bylooking at Chinese current EE curriculum requirements. And then, the curricula, semesterarrangement, credit and degree systems are compared between Chinese and U.S. electricalengineering undergraduate programs. The emphasis on math, core EE subjects, project designand working experience in industry is stronger in Chinese EE programs comparing to that of U.S.universities. But the tendency of teaching as many core subject courses as possible has resultedin a complete neglect of computer aid and modern tool applications in the curriculum. Thesedifferences may have
