STUDENT LEARNING THROUGH CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Tom C. Roberts, P.E., Shagun Sharma Kansas State UniversityIntroductionFrom Fall 1995 to Spring 2013, more than 2,650 students completed a one hour Personal & ProfessionalDevelopment course in the College of Engineering at Kansas State University. The course originatedfrom a late 1980’s series of Saturday morning professional development workshops designed for key stu-dent leaders. The workshops were combined into an elective one hour course (DEN 275) named“STARS” in the early 1990’s. Enrollments were low (10 to 15 students per semester) and decreasedwhen the university changed from semester to hourly
