McGill University in Montreal, Quebec pioneered an innovative course designed to give university students a chance to work with an industry participant on a real-world problem. The program has been in practice for the past 35 years, and has facilitated over 200 projects. Students work on an engineering problem, provided by a company, involving product design, manufacturing processes, or service improvement. The program allows senior mechanical engineering students and industry leading companies to become fully immersed in the systematic problem solving technique, Value Engineering.
The course is lead by a certified value specialist (CVS), which allows students to work towards both course credit and MOD I certification. Benefits of the program are felt both by the student and the industry participant. Industry participants receive real solutions to the problems, as well as potential new talent for their organization. As part of the course students prepare presentations of their findings as well as a written report.
