- Lean learning academy: an innovative learning concept in engineering curriculaPublication . Martens, Ignace; Colpaert, Jan; De Boeck, Liesje; Vaz de Carvalho, Carlos; Ávila, Paulo; Lopes, Manuel; Bastos, João; Fonseca, LuísToday, companies are faced with decreasing profit margins due to economic crisis and global competition. At the same time, in many higher educational institutions, students attend rather unattractive courses by sitting and listening to lecturers teaching ex-cathedra. This paper describes how Lean Learning Academy, an innovative training programme on lean manufacturing, can contribute to the competitiveness of companies, to the employability of employees and students, to the motivation of students, and to the attractiveness of engineering curricula. The training programme can be considered as a successful innovative alternative for the traditional way of teaching.
