impact the lean tools can bring about. Consequently, lean simulation games havegained a special role in training workshops and educational programs of lean manufacturing.A lean simulation game typically contains a series of operations that reflect real-world tasks ofwork. In a simulation, several phases of lean implementation are carried out step by step todemonstrate the impact of lean. The simplified tasks allow the participants to learn the leanconcepts and skills in a reasonably short time. Many lean simulation games have been developedin the past. Verma5 reviewed 17 popular lean simulation games, such as the TimeWiseSimulation of the Lean 101 training program, Aircraft Simulation developed by Lean AerospaceInitiative (LAI), and some games

In light of this range of reported experiences, it maybe useful to review the experience of other, less technical, disciplines’ approach to studio, andthen consider a set of specifications offered initially by Kuhn in the context of architecture.1.1 Characteristics of Studio EducationOne could look to any of the artistic disciplines for insights into studio education, as suggestedby Walker and Jennings, above.

Class time is spent discussingdesign trade-offs in real engineering applications, such as the trade-offs between allowabledesign time and the quality and cost of the product. The students, with guidance from the faculty,discuss the types of factors that should influence the choice of design. Examples includefunctionality, economic factors, spatial compatibility, safety, and reliability. The effects ofethical considerations on design are also presented.

While the main purpose of this methodology isfor the students to experience experiment planning and design, the laboratory instructional needsof the other students cannot be compromised to the extent it was during this past course offering.In addition, the student designed labs could be taken a step further in order to try to simulate inthe problem assignment a task that might be more representative of a real world experience.

This allowed us to checkout the documentation and circuitry in a “real world” environment, but still provided a limitedamount of competition to the two teams of students. This approach worked well, with thestudents providing feedback on things they found confusing or unreliable. Two problems thatwere particularly challenging were the photocells buried in the track bed, and electrical powermanagement.Looking at the specification sheets, it appeared that the photocells had a wide
