their creativity. Someworry about bringing a solution to life due to their little engineering experience so far. In week 2,there is a dip in motivation. Most students again find teamwork and discussion helpful. Somecomment heated discussion within their team and difficulty reaching consensus. During week 3,there is an increase in motivation. Many say they enjoy the hands-on rapid prototyping activity.Week 4’s planning activity such as coming up with a materials list gets some students excited.After week 5’s proposal presentation, many students comment that they find sharing their ideasand seeing other students’ ideas interesting. Week 6 is the first construction and testing week.There is a spike in student motivation. Many students share that

provided by the governments, most of theprestigious research centers in Latin America are found in public universities, with veryfew exceptions in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. On the other hand, universitiesstruggle to get economic resources, beyond student´s tuition and fees, to support theirresearch and improve the quality of the education they deliver to be well positioned in themany university ranking systems produced by large international companies. Moreover,defining priorities in the research lines becomes a very hard task for deans and graduatedirectors, most of the time these budgetary discussions affect the organizational climatethat is needed to ensure good results in scientific production.

Four students have been recruitedsince 2010 and one more is expected to work in the coming summer. Among those students, twohad already been hired by company Y and both have served as liaisons to continue thepartnership.

the so-called “six themes of Six Sigma”: genuine focus on the customer; data andfact driven management; processes are where the action is; proactive management; boundary-less collaboration; and drive for perfection-tolerate failure [1], this paper unpacks thecollaborative processes and perspectives by which this course was developed and continues toevolve and improve. Authors suggest that collaborative industry/academic efforts may benefitby reflecting upon their work product through the six themes of Six Sigma as an alternativeassessment framework to traditional academic assessment approaches.IntroductionSix Sigma – An improvement mindsetSix Sigma is a quality management system that swept the industrial sector in the 1990’s andbecame
