Lean Six Sigma is a course designed to equip students with practical problem-solving skills and hands-on experience in Lean Six Sigma methodology, to better prepare and be more competitive for jobs. Instead of focusing on theoretical knowledges, the course is structured in a workshop style setting that the class will break into multiple teams, each working on a capstone style project from real-life (from class) throughout the course. This setting will allow students to systematically apply the newly learned Lean Six Sigma methodology and tools in a just-in-time fashion that leads to the final project report, to effectively tell the story and journey of what have been done and achieved - a much needed capability at work. This course, while devoting 1 session to review relevant statistical analytics, will focus on non-statistical tools and can be used to prepare for Lean or Six Sigma certification. The 1st and 2nd sessions are laying out the foundation for the course and projects, thus are more critical and cant be missed.

Three observations inform this course: - Engineers at every level of an organization can exhibit leadership, amplifying their contribution and effectiveness. - Many engineers who are asked to assume leadership roles do so without the benefit of leadership education or a ‘roadmap’ for their role. - The core capabilities, competencies, principles and practices of highly effective leaders are relatively consistent and can be developed. The course addresses three basic questions: 1. What makes for a highly effective leader? 2. Who am I as a leader and how do I exhibit my leadership? 3. How do I develop my leadership? It is designed to develop engineering students’ leadership capabilities by building their own “roadmap” for their leadership; increasing clarity about one’s self-as-leader; strengthening their awareness for interpersonal and leadership effectiveness within organizations; and sharpening their capability for managing their leadership development throughout their career and life. Designed in seminar format, the course provides students with multiple readings, personal reflection, assessments, exercises and case studies and large and small group dialogue. Students are encouraged to consider a vision of their career within a global mindset and grounded in the Engineering Code of Ethics. Assignments are intended to facilitate career management and presenting oneself as a professional and as a leader.

This course focuses on grid modernization concepts and emerging technologies that are transforming the ways in which electric energy is generated “made”, delivered “moved”, and utilized “used”. The power industry has been rapidly modernizing over the past few decades, and it is now at a critical juncture as it enters a new era of innovation, demanding many decisions to be made that will impact generations to come. One significant aspect of this change is the emergence of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), including Microgrids, which offer fundamentally different characteristics and capabilities from our past generation mix. At the same time, new enabling technologies such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and advanced operational software provide grid operators with significantly improved situational awareness and control over the grid conditions. Additionally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to play a significant role in utility planning and operational tools, optimizing and creating new ways of allocating resources and improving efficiency. The key to “all this” is “architecting a grid” that can seamlessly integrate diverse electricity supply-side and demand-side resources, while energy policy and industry standardization guide the path towards a safe, reliable, resilient, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective grid of the future. This course explores the multifaceted components of grid modernization, which are integral to the evolution of power system planning, operations, and electricity markets in the coming years. We begin by examining policy, customer, and business objectives, which serve as the primary driver for modernizing the grid. We then proceed to understand and classify the necessary functions and capabilities that support these objectives. These functions and capabilities are implemented through emerging technologies, which require an evaluation of their maturity levels. We will discuss how to evaluate the maturity levels of these technologies. Subsequently, we explore the Department of Energy (DOE) guidelines for formulating grid modernization strategies and implementing new smart grid technology. We also introduce a cost-effectiveness framework that discerns valuation approaches depending on the type of investment being considered. These guidelines are the product of consensus-building efforts spearheaded by the DOE, in collaboration with key stakeholders such as state public commissions, industry representatives, and technology providers.
