considered nothing morethan a set of managerial theories that students should be aware of prior to entering industry. Thisis especially true in the mechanical engineering/technology discipline where many institutionsonly have one course dedicated to quality control, which is often geared toward a specificmanagement theory such as Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing. However, in the mechanicalengineering/technology discipline, there is a plethora of roles which graduates may assume inindustry, many of which require knowledge and skills in quality. It is critical to understandexactly what skills manufacturing industries are looking for in future employees. A quick searchon any job board such as CareerBuilder or Monster will indicate that employers are

Control) method [9]. It has since then beenadopted by many other companies to achieve their respective goals both in production of goodsand in rendering services. Due to the success of this method, academic institutions attempted toadapt six sigma methodologies to improve the quality of education and services. These conceptshave great potential for improving process efficiency and quality of higher education. Theimprovements can be enhanced by integrating other similar concepts such as lean manufacturingand SPS (statistical process control).Lean manufacturing was originated as “a philosophy of continuously simplifying processes andeliminating waste”[16]. By streamlining the processes, cycle times for data collection and analysiscan be reduced in

practices are foundational for leading global manufacturers in America 21, 22.These practices have systematically identified and attacked waste, defined as anything that doesnot add value. A primary change in manufacturing operations is that processes are driven by pullfrom customer orders, rather than a push to create available inventory.Increasingly, project management practices are seeking to integrate lean thinking into projectpractices. A good example is the adoption of agile project management in software development,placing increased value on intermediate, working code than comprehensive, documented,complete systems. Nevertheless, most legacy project management systems and practicescontinue to rely on push-oriented activities that fail to

CoursesIntroductionMany of the current best practices in education have parallels in lean manufacturing strategies.This suggests that lean practices can be used as a framework for the design and delivery ofengineering courses. The purpose of this paper is to provide ideas for implementing leanmethods in the educational process. The specific focus is on the lean concept of using smallbatch size to improve production and quality in engineering education.Small batch production provides several benefits in a manufacturing process. These includeshortening time to final product, enhanced quality, and increased product flexibility [1]. Thispaper examines how similar benefits can be obtained by applying small batch ideas to education.A central premise of this paper is

Then, they get an opportunity to develop a betterproduction method by utilizing and integrating lean manufacturing techniques they have learnedin the classroom setting.II.

When an organization is operatingin a "lean" state, there is no ladder to climb since there is no higher level to attain. To build asuccessful career, engineers need to become “rock climbers”, i.e. think like an entrepreneur andadopt an entrepreneurial spirit.The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program at Eastern Michigan University providestechnical students with an education that merges
