An interesting approach involves engaging students in Lean SixSigma projects that directly impact their academic experiences. This provides practical learningopportunities while addressing real-world challenges.Since 2012, the Electronic Systems Engineering Technology Program has offered a Lean SixSigma course, where students earning a grade of B or higher receive a Yellow Belt Certificate.The course features case studies to illustrate how the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze,Improve, Control) process can enhance products or processes.

Although there are some common skillsthat are shared among the four programs that were studied in this paper, which also need to beprioritized to support the technical skills [10], there needs to be specific outcomes for eachprogram. This will help provide guidance to the industry on how to evaluate a successful internshipprogram and also provide guidance to the institutions on what areas need to be addressed whenpreparing students for the workforce.References:[1] R.
