The program is designed for degreedengineers who are currently employed, and who have a need and/or desire to enhance theirknowledge, skills, and competencies in Systems Engineering. There is a growing concern aboutthe decline of the US technical workforce in general, and especially in the field of SystemsEngineering.1 As projects and products become more complex, the need for Systems Engineeringexpertise is ever increasing. While statistical evidence quantifying the specific needs for SystemsEngineers is lacking, anecdotal stories clearly show that there is such a need. The targetaudience for this effort is companies and individuals who require better Systems Engineeringcapabilities, but lack the

Engineering in Professional Practice (MEPP) program.MEPP is a two-year engineering leadership graduate program that serves as an engineering-focused alternative to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, providing mid-careerprofessionals the technical, management, computer, and communications skills for today's globalbusiness environment [1]. Only 30 students are admitted each year to the MEPP program. Togain admission, students must have earned at least a B.S. in engineering, and must have at leastfour years of applied engineering experience.The MEPP program is cohort-based; the 30 students admitted each year progress through thefixed curriculum as a stable group. This cohort-based design facilitates close relationshipsamong students [2,3

He proposed that there areseven broad areas wherein children and adults can excel and listed them as follows(Armstrong, 1993).

.”1 Engineering technology faculty are a part of a field that must embracechange. However, this “built-in resistance” often stems from the reinvestment of the timerequired to master new technologies and maintain quality-learning environments in theclassroom. Therefore, increased value is placed upon the instructor’s technical expertise anddissemination as students become more technologically sophisticated.Is the mastery of contemporary technological theory and application alone enough to adequately Page 14.529.2prepare students for the workplace?

(1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have absolutely no experience “under their belt

In reviewing the unemployed, the question arises is there ashortage of jobs or a shortage of qualified workers? The qualities or attributes that employerslook at in job applicants is not a one size fits all nor is it a strict hard skills environment. Whilehard skills are quantifiable, soft skills are more subjective but according to a survey conductedby CareerBuilder in 2015, 77% of over 2,000 respondents claimed that soft skills were just asimportant as hard skills while 16% said that soft skills were actually more important than hardskills [1].

The reliance on digital manufacturing by industry has grown as high performancecomputing technology evolves. Recognizing the far reaching implications of this technology onresearch, several government programs in the 1980’s and 1990’s promoted the growth of highperformance computing. Today, programs such as XSEDE promote the use of high performancecomputing to conduct research in multiple fields such as engineering by supporting scholars andresearchers in using these computational resources [3
