Abstract
In today's competitive environment, businesses must adopt continuous improvement to succeed. As a result, engineering students must become familiar with continuous improvement to function in business when they graduate. The best way for them to learn is by putting these ideas into action in school. This paper presents a plan that shows students how to use their available time effectively, track their progress, foresee problems before they occur, and take action to prevent those problems. The paper is written primarily for students and has applications for all of education. I urge you to pass out copies of it to students you know and at ASCE Student Chapter meetings.
