applying it as a change agent.Students had to produce an integrating final project in one semester (around 18 weeks), andboth students and instructors pointed out that, at the end of the whole degree program,students were not ready to undertake a high caliber project which incorporated much learning,skills, and professional attitudes.Responding to that problem, the university introduced a Capstone Course in systemsengineering in the mid 1980s. It came in the next to last semester of the program, just beforethe student thesis and graduation. Lasting 17 weeks, the course required students to developan intervention for improvement in an administrative system, aimed at integrating andapplying methods and skills learned along the way. Thus students

a personalizedapproach to create and sustain a supportive community for remote candidates. The existence ofsuch a community can ultimately increase the potential for long-term academic success.A low-residency version of an established graduate level Engineering Management program waslaunched at Duke University in 2009. This cohort-driven model utilizes a blended classroom toinclude distance and campus students in shared course sections each semester. Distance contentis delivered in the form of recorded classroom lectures posted online weekly. The distributedprogram participants are predominantly employed on a full-time basis and typically complete thedegree in two years. The credit requirements are identical for both distance and

The class (graduate level Manufacturing Strategy)This paper refers to the experience of using a videogame in a Manufacturing Strategy course.This class is a mandatory subject in the graduate Specialist degree in ManufacturingManagement. We will explain briefly the structure of the course and the use of the game as aneducational tool.3.1. Course StructureThe Manufacturing Strategy is a 24 hour course, presented in six four-hour sessions. It aims toconvey the importance of strategy in any

regarding the need to modify the engineering curriculum in order to betterprepare engineering graduates to face the new challenges that the current engineeringenvironment presented. In 1994, “industry and academe realized that their concerns were thesame, [therefore] they began to mobilize through ABET, the organization responsible for settingthe standards of engineering education” (ABET, 2004, p. 1). As a result, the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) acknowledged this call from industry andeducational leaders, and started working towards changing the standards of engineeringeducation in order to guarantee that engineering students not only have an education in thetechnical disciplines of engineering but also in human
