Flint, Michigan, United States - November 10, 2023 —
Adult learning theory has several principles articulating the importance of learner-centered approaches tailored to the needs, interests, and experiences of adult learners. Two of those tenets are relevance and immediate application. Adults learning new skills must be able to see the relevance and usefulness of what they are learning in order to be motivated to engage with the material. They also want to apply what they are learning immediately to their work and/or personal lives. Kettering University Online (KUO) Master of Science in Lean Manufacturing program’s recent re-design includes an impactful teaching methodology wrapped in an updated curriculum, which facilitates applied learning from the classroom to the workplace.
Master of Science Lean Manufacturing Program Highlights
Instead of acquiring skills solely on the job and tailored to a specific role, our approach is to equip students with the ability to apply lean manufacturing principles across various professions. The journey begins with a foundational understanding of assessing and enhancing quality in different processes and contexts. This is followed by a data-driven process that enables the identification of actionable steps for improvement.
Thanks to a fruitful collaboration between subject matter experts and contributing faculty, many of whom are currently working in the industry, the courses in the Master of Science Lean Manufacturing program have been re-designed with new and updated features such as:
“Through consistently using real-world scenarios, and connecting theory to practice, learners are sharpening their critical thinking skills, enhancing their problem-solving skills, and developing a wider context for understanding how to use lean concepts and tools in different industries with a myriad of applications.”
— Dr. Prakash Menon, KUO Contributing Faculty, Faculty Mentor and Lean Manufacturing Subject Matter Expert
