AB  - Integrating Project Management & Lean-Six Sigma Methodologies in an IndustrialEngineering Capstone CourseThe ability to effectively manage large, complex projects is a skill required of most engineers inindustry today. The skills required to be an effective project manager go far beyond technicalengineering content taught in engineering curriculums. Industry sponsored capstone projectexperiences require students to communicate, deconstruct the large project into manageablepieces, and manage risk and uncertainty. This is a departure from traditional engineeringproblems which have a right answer and typically have a prescribed solution method. In thispaper we discuss a pilot study that evaluates how a structured framework of project management,mimicking industry practices, affects the problem solving process throughout the project lifecycle. Specifically we develop an approach that integrates project management methods andtools with Lean-Six Sigma methods. An additional objective of this research is to develop abetter understanding of the unique aspects of the engineering problem solving process. Weassessed the student’s problem solving strategies, products, and design process reflections usingWolcott’s “Steps for Better Thinking” rubric.
