The following is a brief synopsis that describes the purpose of the program as a whole and what we intend for students to get out of it by the end. Use this only as an aid in helping you to summarize the program in your own words. A series of courses, experiential training sessions, and team projects that serve to teach students how to function efficiently in a quality driven environment. Through the application of quality principles and tools on real problems, students learn how to maximize efficiency of processes including product design. Examples of factors explored are process flow, communication, customer expectations, manufacturing specifications, cross-cultural communication.
Students also learn tools to convert data to information.
The culmination of the program is an industry practicum project which requires students to call upon their training and as a consulting team apply their knowledge to a problem in a specific company.
