“…This would make learning processes more responsive to industry needs and would provide long-lasting value to the ultimate customer. This research recommends having greater coordination between industry and university, creating higher barriers for entry into engineering schools, creating learning cells (or grouping of related subjects in one semester), mistake proofing and internships to be part of a policy that will help improve the quality of engineering education in India, and to learn from other countries what they are doing in lean education, for example in Brazil (Lean Education for Applied Science Universities: A Proposal by Federal Institutes of Applied Sciences in Brazil [30]), in the Philippines (Lean Education in a University in the Philippines [31]), and more (Lean Learning at Oakland University [32], Lean Education at University of Minho: Aligning and Pulling the Right Requirements Geared on Competitive Industries [33], and Postgraduate Studies on Lean Management-A Review of Initiatives [34]).…”

This work analyzes the current situation of engineering education in India, especially technical universities characterized by low-quality infrastructure, inflexible curricula, and poor teaching resources including faculty, usually resulting in low student learning and very low graduate placement rates, and identifies the root causes of these problems, summarizes the methodologies adapted by previous researchers in the lean area, and applies the lean manufacturing philosophy to engineering education. This paper applies a value stream map to analyze the current state of engineering education. This technique identifies eight wastes and is given in form of a current state diagram. A future state diagram is presented that recommends solutions to eliminate these wastes. These recommendations make learning processes responsive to needs and provide long-lasting value to students. Overall, it is beneficial in developing a policy for engineering education.

The education area is being deeply affected by COVID-19, and Brazilian students are trying to adapt. This chapter aims to research how postgraduate students are dealing with the challenges of the pandemic. From the following research question, “How did COVID-19 impact different dimensions of students´ lives enrolled at master and doctorate programmes?” the chapter describes the challenges that students from Master and Doctorate programmes of two federal institutes are dealing with and the future perspectives in the context of the pandemic. The research methodology is based on an exploratory approach, grounded on a survey for data regarding the impacts of COVID-19 in three dimensions: private life, professional life, and academic life, aiming to understand if and how their research and educational products development were affected. The results show that, despite stress and efforts, the students could adapt their research for the pandemic situation.
