Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents an approach to monitoring, controlling and improving the teaching process and learning outcomes in engineering courses using Statistical Quality Control (SQC). The ABET 2000 criteria and their impact on the control and improvement of teaching and learning is discussed, followed by a brief illustration of the university system that these criteria foster. It is argued that in meeting ABET 2000 goals, an engineering faculty can apply the same principles and techniques they have taught for decades; namely systems engineering and quality control. Subsequently, an SQC approach for engineering courses and their common constituents: lectures, laboratories and tutorials, is suggested. Four illustrative case studies of undergraduate mechanical and industrial engineering courses are presented.
