Application of Lean Manufacturing Concepts to Evolving a Policy for Engineering Education

This work analyzes the current situation of engineering education in India, especially technical universities characterized by low-quality infrastructure, inflexible curricula, and poor teaching resources including faculty, usually resulting in low student learning and very low graduate placement ra...
