During the second semester, additional lectures on design for X, quality(including QFD, FMEA, Six Sigma, and robust engineering), data management, and ethics weregiven, with students refining and optimizing their design through further iterations as necessary,depending on the results of finite element analysis, prototype testing, and other investigations.Many students lacked an understanding of quality (not only as expressed in such tools as TQM,QFD, or Six Sigma, but also in producing quality work beyond meeting minimum requirements).The student teams had occasional homework assignments to

Many of us, including those who have decided to ignore the “Evaluation” andsuch other beauty contests, remain rather skeptical about the ethics behind such moves.Symptoms of The AilmentAnecdotal evidence suggests that there is a problem, with employers cited as grumbling that theyno longer could be sure of what they were getting when they hired a student with a given GPA.A senior professor was recently overheard telling his teaching assistant about his policy on
