Students work in teams under the direction of a faculty advisor to complete an engineering design project. They create a mockup of their design leading to the development of a prototype to test and verify the effectiveness of their design. Students present their design and prototype to the Technologies Department Advisory Board for evaluation. This class meets Wednesdays from 6 pm – 9:30 pm.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Lean Six Sigma and the philosophies of Dr. W. Edwards Deming and the Toyota Way. The coursework covers production, process and inventory control, continuous improvement methods and how they apply to concepts of Lean Six Sigma. It also includes plant management, safety, waste analysis and workflows. Green manufacturing innovations, ISO 14000 standards and processes are reviewed.

Case studies of existing plants are used in the course. Guest lecturers and possible plant tours to see these topics in action will be part of the course as schedules permit. This class meets Mondays from 6 pm – 8:50 pm.

The candidate will have an Associate’s degree or Bachelor’s degree in a related field and/or fifteen years’ experience in mechanical engineering/design.
