This program is not atypical college degree program. Modeled after Toyota Maintenance System, this programprovides the opportunity for a work/study environment to the students where they are honed tobecome a well-versed technician with knowledge and skills in core manufacturing practices(safety, 5S, lean manufacturing, problem-solving and machine reliability) as well as six essentialprofessional behaviors (attendance, initiative, diligence, interpersonal relations, communication,and teamwork).In this paper, authors who have

organizations say about what mechanical engineers need toknow? NAE, CFAT, ABET, and ASME all stress an integration of technical skills but say verylittle about specific technical content. NCEES’s FE exam specifications might be the onlydocument from a national engineering organization that approaches a standard for technicalengineering curriculum content but these specifications are not a credible source on whatengineers have to know. Looking at the leanness of the ABET program criteria for ME, ASME’snon-participation in the NSPE BOK, and ASME’s statements in Vision 2030, one couldcharacterize ASME’s stance as being that almost no particular technical content matters verymuch but that it is essential for engineers to be able to solve problems and

The team mustask itself, “What should be the result—or objective—of our collective effort?”2As stated earlier, one of IEW’s chief concerns is to provide an excellent Capstone Designexperience for the undergraduate seniors. Past experience has shown that seniors often needsubstantial shop training in order to complete their projects. This lack of experience often leadsto extra fabrication time, thus reducing the availability of shop facilities for other design teams.To reduce such inefficiencies, a summer course in Lean Manufacturing is offered as a means ofintroducing
