This $399,694 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop comprehensive experiential learning modules in lean manufacturing and leverage state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at Auburn University to enhance learning outcomes for both online and in-person students. The project will create video-based learning content to provide remote and in-person learners with practical, experience-based knowledge in lean manufacturing processes such as 5S and value stream mapping. By offering interactive access to Auburn's 4,000 square-foot manufacturing simulation lab, the project seeks to improve critical thinking skills, attitudes towards engineering practice, and cognitive gains among a diverse population of students and educators. The findings will be disseminated through academic publications and conferences. No sub-awards are planned for this project, which has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.
