Recent studies by professional organizations devoted to engineering
education, such as Vision 2030 (ASME) and Vision 2025 (ASCE),
highlight the need for the restructuring of engineering education.
Deficiencies of many engineering graduates include poor systems
thinking and systems analysis skills, lack of sensitivity for
sustainability issues, poorly developed problem solving skills and
lack of training to work in (multi-disciplinary) teams, as well as
a lack of leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, and project
management skills. The book's contents include an analysis of
current shortfalls in engineering education and education related
to professional practice in engineering. Further, the authors
describe desirable improvements as well as advocacy for the use of
lean tenets and tools to create a new future for engineering
education. This book presents, for the first time, an outside-in
lean engineering perspective of how this commonly accepted and
widely practiced and adapted engineering perspective can shape the
direction in which the engineers of the future are trained and
educated. By its very nature, lean engineering demands systems
thinking and systems analysis as well as problem solving skills. In
this sense, "Lean Engineering" immediately talks to sustainability
of operations. Hence, this book adds to the body of knowledge
regarding engineering education. It blends the perspectives and
expertise of mechanical, industrial and production engineers and
academics and the perspective from social sciences on the
challenges encountered in engineering education. Because of the
unique mix of authors, the book presents a well-rounded perspective
of how lean thinking can address shortcomings in engineering
education.
