Lean & Six Sigma Certification
Our usual program is Lean every Fall, Six Sigma every Spring, for each year. The certification is administered by IISE Nationals and is a Green Belt level. It is available to all students at LSU, not only Industrial Engineers. Alumni/Professionals are able to sign up as well with a separate registration process and pricing.
Advantages of these certification courses:
-
Industrial Engineering coursework at LSU includes a class for Lean ("Lean" IE 4530) and a class for Six Sigma ("QC" IE 4453). As seen in the flowcharts, Lean is typically taken in Fall of Senior year while QC is taken Spring of Junior year. If a student is pursuing an internship, and has not taken the respective IE class, the course gives the foundational knowledge needed for the job.
-
As compared to other universities, our IISE chapter provides certifications to a consistently large amount of students. The Lean and Six Sigma certifications are noticed by employers and are a big reason why employers look to LSU for process improvement specialists.
-
The course instructors are chosen by IISE Nationals for their experience and credibility in training people on Lean and Six Sigma. These instructors have a history of making an enjoyable learning environment for students and teaching in a way that makes concepts "stick" after the course is over.
