Currently, higher education institutions need to produce skills with new skills that will enable young graduates to enter an increasingly complex world. Globalization, the objective of massification and diversification can be incubators towards lowering the quality of training. In a process of continuous improvement, science and technology education will have to conquer these different contextual variables. However, the traditional pedagogical model separating the functions of the two main actors of the class, teacher, information transmitter and passive receiver student, no longer satisfies the requirements of the development path. This inevitably leads to a rethinking of the school in depth and the implementation of other pedagogical approaches oriented towards know-how rather than towards the accumulation of knowledge. Given the complexity of analyzing and standardizing teaching practices as well as the teacher's strategic role in steering the learning process, we have adopted a normative methodology based on the concept of the process approach, the application of which will serve the orientation of science and technical training towards the acquisition of transversal skills which will allow the learner to better adapt to the needs of the job market. However, we will adopt a technical approach based on the use of quality tools to design, with the objective mentioned above, an innovative, efficient and effective model. We propose in our study to identify to what extent the quality principles of continuous improvement constitute mobilizing elements of the process of training in science and techniques.

Organizations, in particular HR/Training departments, strive to set forth good practices, quality assurance, and improvement on a continuing basis. With the continuous growth of online university programs, it is crucial for e-learning establishments to include service quality assessments along with mechanisms to help e-facilitators consistently maintain the highest quality standard when lecturing, teaching, guiding, administering, and supporting the online learner. This chapter discusses the application of an e-quality assessment matrix (e-QAM) as part of a quality assessment model that promotes continuous improvement of the e-learning environment. This model will serve as a tool for online universities and organizations to achieve a base standard of consistent quality that is essential for program accreditation and satisfaction of global customers.

The objective of this study is to define criteria in current development of Industrial Engineering (IE) education on the basis of studies and concepts published in commonly accessible databases and knowledge exchange platforms. General assumption of the study is that the universal criteria used in developing IE study programs are already defined and some experiences on their use are already published. The expected outcome of the study is to identify the criteria that could support the development of curriculum for MSc in IE. The approach used here is content analysis with the publication related to the higher level education in the field of Industrial Engineering.

Measurement of quality management practices (QMP) is one of requirements which should be emphasized by the organizations to be competitive in challenging market. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between quality management practices and performance in the manufacturing industry using constructs namely management commitment, quality tools, continuous improvement, process management, training and organisational performance. A framework was developed based on the literature review and assessed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software used for modeling analysis. A total of 480 questionnaires were distributed, and 210 questionnaires were valid for analysis. The findings show significant relationship by the management commitment to process management and training. Also, training affects the quality tools, continuous improvement and process management. Similarly, quality tools influence on continuous improvement and process management. Furthermore process management affects the continuous improvement Next, continuous improvement gives impact to organisational performance. The results of the study can be used by managers in manufacturing companies to consider and adapt their QMPs and performance assessments toward increasing competitiveness.
