) QualificationsBased on the above it is obvious that the quality of the ASEM EM BoK depends greatly upon thequalifications of the EM faculty and industry experts. The ASEM EM BoK had a rating systemto qualify the reviewers. Requirements are similar to those used for accreditation and Promotionand Tenure decisions.Criteria include the following: - PhD in the subject field - Professor or at least Associate Professor level - Tenure Status - Refereed articles in field - Text(s) in the field - Funded research in the field - Practical experience at the executive levelOverall ratings were excellent and will be published in a journal article on this topic.Future Plans to Use EM BoKThere a number of other activities that is based on the approved

However, the results of this project verified that thesame goal can be accomplished by employing a timer module to provide the equivalent functionsof the more expensive and complex systems that require extensive computer programmingcode(s) and/or hardware to operate properly. Furthermore, production cost and effectiveness ofthis idea were the major parameters of this project, and the timer module proved to

Additionally, an EngE2984course grade of C- or better is needed to meet the pre-requisite to continue to the nextengineering course(s); this is true for all freshman program courses.

. During the first three clue hunts, each team member had the chance to be a leader for thefirst time. Upon completion of the solution report, each team member including the leaderassessed the leader’s strengths and weakness without necessarily knowing what exactlyconstitutes a good leader. This served as a learning experience where each student decided whats/he wanted to see from a leader or what s/he should work on as a leader. For the last three cluehunts, each student was required to serve as leader one more time, but this time a more formalleadership assessment was performed. Various leadership skills were stated on a form and eachstatement was rated with a 5 point scale. The leader was given the completed forms, whichincluded a self
