The introduction of Six Sigma quality principles in industry has revolutionized production, as well as many other sectors of society. Academia has not moved as quickly to adjust its curricula, as it should to keep pace with the demands of industry. This paper documents the need and structure of a Six Sigma Green Belt Certification program, driven by the industrial advisory committee of the Engineering Technology program at Western Carolina University, a regional comprehensive university that works closely with its industrial partners in multiple modes. This new program is targeted at undergraduate Engineering Technology students, and takes advantage of two existing courses and capstone projects that coordinate nicely with this certification.
