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 course will provide students with real-world strategies and techniques to effectively navigate each stage of the product lifecycle process, from ideation to market delivery and sunset. Each phase will be examined to identify best practices and measurement criteria for successful completion. Since exit criteria and process flow will be examined, the student will learn methods used to bring an enhanced or new product or service to successful realization along with mindset to react as required to changing market conditions that may impact their product introduction plans. This will be accomplished by utilizing a combination of lecture, discussion, group assignments, readings, books, and an individual project to reinforce key course concepts.

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.
