The Master ofScience in Engineering Management (MSEM) is a graduate degree that combines the strengthsof a traditional MBA with a focus on engineering and technology. Courses are geared towardproviding students the best of both worlds. Not only do they have an opportunity to refine theirtechnical skills, but it is done in a management context.These programs include core courses like most MBA programs, such as project management,quality engineering, engineering economics, statistics and organizational behavior, but with atechnological stream

Role of Axiomatic Design in Teaching Capstone Courses Edwin Odom, Steven Beyerlein, Christopher A. Brown, Daniel Drew, Lloyd Gallup, Sam Zimmerman, and Jeremy Olberding University of Idaho/Worcester Polytechnic InstituteAbstractHelping undergraduate engineering students learn effective design practices that are applicable tothe modern workplace is one of the most complex challenges of engineering education. Onestrategy to help students master open-ended design projects is to use a systematic process.However, students often want to jump past the front end of the design process and thiscompromises the quality of the final product. This paper examines the suitability of

given one five-week, one six-weekand one three-month design projects. The students are expected to apply familiarization,functionality and testing to their projects. Any design decision is expected to have the designtrinity at its foundation. We do not, however, expect the students to master these conceptsimmediately. By giving the students multiple projects they have the opportunity to learn fromtheir mistakes and to show continuous improvement in their application of the design trinity.The effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated in several ways. Perhaps the mostcompelling measure comes from a student evaluation administered at the end of the year. Aspart of this evaluation students are asked to assess their own development in a

One group has developed effective strategies both for persistently contacting the supply (ability to communicate – outcome g) and for wisely using the time to master the techniques needed for their project using less expensive, readily available material (learning new skills – i, and using modern tools, k). The other group has done little to prod the supplier and little to advance their project.

reasoning]; select [from among available options for expanding production capacity, and justify your choice]; critique [an essay, report, or article for accuracy and style].Levels 4–6 are known as the higher-level (or higher-order) thinking skills. All engineering instructors would say that they want their students to master higher-levelthinking skills, but in many cases their lectures and homework assignments focus almostexclusively on Level 3. Then, if they put a high-level question on an exam (to see if the students“know how to think”) and the students do poorly on it, they blame it on the students’ lack ofability or poor study habits. Their criticism is misdirected. The only way people acquire skills is through practice

The student chooses to forego the cultural aspects of a civilized education for thetemporary riggers of the specialty training that must be mastered. In short, the culturaleducation must wait until after graduation when the engineer has more time for these moreearthly (dare it be called trivial) pursuits.
