Abstract
A laboratory- and project-based "Lean Six Sigma Nanomanufacturing" course has bee developed for ngineering technology (ET) students under an NSF Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Grant, Type 1. This course introduces ET students to nanomanufacturing by combining hands-on nanotechnology laboratory experiments and Six Sigma analysis with lectures on Lean Manufacturing principles and implementation. ET students are introduced to nanotechnology principles, projects, and laboratory procedures by approaching the subject from the perspective of manufacturability and quality assurance. The following laboratory experiments and projects simulate nanomanufacturing processes: production of CdSe quantum dots, electrodeposition magnetic Ni nanowires, fabrication of organic LEDs, and fabrication of TiO(2)-based dye-sensitized solar cells. Various conventional analytical techniques support the laboratory experiments, including fluorescence and electron microscopy, Raman and UV absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, optical transmission and reflection measurements, atomic force microscopy, and data collection based on imaging with a CCD camera. Analysis techniques generate suitable data sets for quality engineering and statistical process control using Lean Six Sigma methods. The course Materials comprise a suite of indepent modules that can be adopted to suit particular syllabi, educational objectives, and available time and resources of various educational institutions.
