While some studies focus on the proportions of engineeringbachelor’s graduates who pursue engineering jobs and graduate degrees,1,3 other studies haveexamined the specific factors related to engineering students having plans to pursue engineeringcareers, versus non-engineering careers, after college, finding that the experiences thatengineering students have in their programs have a big impact. For example, in their study ofengineering undergraduates at nine institutions nationwide, Amelink and Creamer (2010) foundthat student satisfaction with the quality of teaching

In the deployment phase thatfollows, students apply the model to a variety of situations and test the limits of the model, oftenthrough problem solving and sometimes via lab practica.

However, as projects become more complex and theuncertainty associated with technical aspects of them increases, the risks related to not only thoseprojects but also the environment have to be considered from a holistic or systemic perspective. Inthis dynamic environment, it is important for engineers and engineering managers to understandvarious aspects of risk management such as risk identification, risk tracking, risk impactassessment, risk prioritization and risk mitigation planning, implementation and progressmonitoring.In this paper, the authors review all the existing courses in their Engineering Management (EM)program and analyze the current offerings of

As a result, SPM has beenincorporated in some software engineering undergraduate curricula (e.g., [1, 2]).There is a large body of SPM theory described in the SWEBOK. Finding ways to enhance studentlearning of this theory by providing opportunities to apply it in a realistic setting, however, isoften challenging. This difficulty stems from the fact that to truly exercise project managementskills, one needs to be put in charge of a relatively long-term, non-trivial software project thatinvolves a team of software developers.
