Abstract :
Because so few universities and colleges understand, teach and/or practice the philosophy, concepts and tools of total quality management (TQM), industry practitioners have for many years been providing this much-needed education and training in a variety of venues, both to recent graduates and their more senior colleagues. This paper reviews the intent, content and results of a comprehensive TQM course which has been taught under the sponsorship of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) and The George Washington University Continuing Engineering Education Program (GWU/CEEP).
