商品簡介
This book addresses instructional issues that impact the intersection of what engineering faculty teach, what engineering students learn for workplace effectiveness, and what engineering employers look for when hiring and inducting graduates into the workforce. Borrowing from the precepts of "lean engineering"--to eliminate waste and always look to where design decisions can add value--the book's thesis is that engineering education can be made more efficient, and more successful, as measured by graduate rates and by workforce outcomes. The book's contents include an analysis of current shortfalls in engineering education and specifically education as it relates to professional practice. Further, the authors describe desirable improvements as well as advocacy for the use of lean-engineering tenets and tools to create a new future for engineering education. This book includes global applications of lean engineering, which has particular relevance for the developing world.
