A Process Engineering certificate program has been developed and conducted utilizing the talents of members from five different engineering departments. Now in its third year, the success of this 12‐credit “megacourse” is due in large part to the use of Total Quality Management (TQM) principles and methods in the development and teaching of the course. Students benefit by learning TQM, by seeing it applied, and from an overall improved course.
