The MS in Engineering Management at Milwaukee School of Engineering An Update Bruce R. Thompson Rader School of Business, Milwaukee School of Engineering Abstract: At the 1990 ASEE annual conference a paper titled “Evolution and Projections for the MS in Engineering Management” described the experience of the Master of Science in Engineering Management at Milwaukee School of Engineering, one of the oldest graduate engineering management programs in the United States. Since then, the program has faced a number of challenges, including the introduction of the MSEM at Milwaukee’s two largest

These components are alsofound in exercise devices such as the “Stair Master”.ProcedureSafety is always the most important consideration when working with students. It isessential that eye protection be utilized and that all participants read the operatinginstructions that accompanies the magneto-rheological clutch assembly and power supply.Be sure to obtain a "Material Data Safety Sheet" on the fluid from the supplier.

In mastery grading, the course is built around assessments thatare graded by a threshold that establishes mastery. There are rubric items that outline what itmeans to establish mastery for that assessment. There are no partial points, only a designationthat lets the student know how well they mastered the assessment. Mastery of an assessment canbe assigned a binary grade (pass/fail), but there are implementations where instructors havecreated up to four discrete levels of mastery. The assessments are then bundled and organized tocreate a mapping from the outcomes of the assessments to letter grades.Mastery

Improvements• Pacing: The structure of the course must be refined to allow pacing more suited to student learning. At the start of the semester, we could not clearly anticipate how long students would need to master each module and concept. As a result, we underestimated the amount of class time that would be needed for live coding sessions and practice activities. We will reconceptualize the pacing now that we have detailed, and first-hand knowledge of the time needed for each task. Overall, the computer programming modules took longer than we anticipated. This variation from our plan results from the fact that
