摘      要：The rapidly evolving engineering technology and globalization process have changed educational roles and expectations from teachers. All these lead to some curriculum and teaching reforms that focus on introducing potential programs which provide students with challenging technologies. A new graduate course has been developed at University of Bridgeport to establish entrepreneurship opportunities for today s challenging world. Some advanced technologies, including Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Standard Operation Procedure (SOP), and Lean Manufacturing, have been introduced in helping students to gain high level of engineering experiences. It also helps students to examine political, social and economic issues that associated to engineering project delivery processes that can lead to save product process expenses, increase manufacturing efficiency, improve product quality and shorten production period. Although this course was taught at mechanical/manufacturing engineering majors, it also can be applied to most areas of US industrial and engineering practices.
