The name QUEST is an acronym for Quality Enhancement Systems and Teams. The QUEST curriculum covers quality management, process improvement, idealized design, and systems design. In the capstone course, QUEST students conduct consulting projects for corporate clients and present their results at a conference.〔
==History==
In 1990, the University of Maryland, College Park began a total quality initiative on campus. President William E. Kirwin and senior staff spent a year in total quality training, examining both administrative and pedagogical processes on campus to address the challenges of a dim financial forecast and declining enrollments.〔Olian, J. "Total Quality and the Academy: Problems and Opportunities." in eds. Ruben, B. ''Quality in Higher Education.'' Transaction Publishers, 1995. p. 243 & 248.〕 In October 1991, 18 months into the University of Maryland's efforts, IBM launched a grant competition for universities to improve total quality in higher education.〔''Ibid.''; Zairi, M. "Total quality education for superior performance." ''Training for Quality 3(1)'' 1995 (Link to article )〕 IBM offered eight awards in the amount of $1,000,000 cash and $3,000,000 of IBM equipment, and received 204 applications.〔Zairi, M. "Total quality education for superior performance." ''Training for Quality 3(1)'' 1995 (Link to article )〕 Of the eight universities to receive awards, the University of Maryland was the only school to include an undergraduate program as part of their total quality initiative, a program which began as the IBM-TQ program and continued in 1998 as QUEST.〔Assad, A. and Olian, J.
