best summary of our experience in Cambodia may come from the students who participated.A post-internship survey provided a collection of comments which reflect the things they learnedduring a short five weeks and validates the claim that we must address more than technical issuesin the educational experience. One student commented “what impressed me the most wasthat we experienced [the] real version of what we were studying in concepts on value chainmanagement, manufacturing process improvement and nurturing growth in the developingworld. It was more than simply academic. It was like having a large exclamation mark oneverything I learned and had studied in Manufacturing Engineering Technology

The perceptions ofthe students were collected over a period of two years as a part of class assignments anddiscussions for a Lean Manufacturing class. The students’ opinions and comments concernedbroad areas of stability, standardization, jidoka, just-in-time, employee involvement andcustomer focus. The majority of the students focused on the various categories of waste (muda)and unevenness (mura) in a university system. Some of the identified waste involved poorcampus layouts, uneven scheduling of classes, poor understanding of curriculum
