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.

Grid technology modernization has been accelerating over the past several decades and the power industry is nearing an inflection point. One significant aspect of this change is a new electric generation, particularly distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrids, coming onto the grid which offer fundamentally different characteristics and capabilities from our past generation mix. At the same time, new enabling technologies such as communication and information technologies are being connected to the grid, allowing grid operators to have a significantly improved awareness and control over the grid conditions. The key to this emerging smart grid is its ability to seamlessly integrate diverse electricity supply-side and demand-side resources with enabling technologies, standardization, and regulation, which is the focus of this one-semester course.
