The responses that follow describethese value costs: “Another disadvantage would be for students that hope to entercorporate/industry, having a masters before having any formal job experience may put them at adisadvantage. Many companies and schools will also pay for someone to get their masters, sothat may be a disadvantage as well if the student ends up paying for it.”; and “I can see studentsbeing overqualified or maybe coming into lower offers had they transitioned to the workforcefirst and then back to college. This is an assumption and opinion; it very well may not be thecase and should be communicated with students.”One can argue that when it comes to the “lack of experience,” students are expected to

partnership and with the sponsorship of two Mexican states, Yucatan andZacatecas, and CANIETI (Cámara Nacional de la Industria Electrónica de Telecomunicaciones yTecnologías de la Información de Mexico – Information Technology, Telecommunications andElectronic Industry Chamber of Commerce of Mexico). CANIETI’s goal is to improve thehuman capital development in Mexico’s information technology sector. One approach to achievethis goal is to send Mexican students to pursue master and PhD degrees in the United States. ForYucatan and Zacatecas, the motivation was similar. These states want to improve human capitaldevelopment and have scholarships from the Mexican government to sponsor Mexican studentsto pursue master or PhD degrees abroad. However, due to
transformative change in the graduate program arenafrom a traditionally prevalent Master of Science program is a Professional Master of Science orTechnology program (PMS or PMT). At a college in a mid-western land grant university, the PMTgraduate degree is designed to help advance, or even change, the career path of professionals to reachtheir professional goals. The objective of PMT is to leverage the real-world experience and sharpenprofessional skills while providing the educational credentials sought after highly by industry. Thus, theProfessional Master of Technology program (PMT) at Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus is aninnovative interdisciplinary graduate degree program that helps working professionals and studentsexpand their

Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Assessing Current Programs Against the New BOKAbstractThrough the formal development of Policy 465, the American Society of Civil Engineers hasdefined the Body of Knowledge (BOK) that describes the knowledge, skills and attitudesnecessary to become a licensed professional engineer.1, 2 The BOK is presented in the form of 15outcomes that prescribe the necessary breadth and depth of knowledge required for a practicingcivil engineer. The levels of competence for these outcomes are defined as recognition,understanding, and ability. The attainment of the BOK is expected to occur through a broadundergraduate education, specialized education at the masters level, and practical experienceduring the

The purpose of the simulation game was to adapt industrial and systems engineeringconcepts and methods to ill-structured problems. This purpose was translated to three mainobjectives. First, the game was aimed at fostering information-seeking tendencies, whereinstead of relying solely on assumptions about a problem, students would seek appropriatequestions and ask them to the game masters (instructors) and other game players (student teams)in order to reduce ambiguity and uncertainty. Second, the game was designed to fosteradaptability, where the boundaries of the solution space depended on students’ ability to act
