modernmarketplace. Accreditation bodies stress the importance of building programs that not onlycontain a global emphasis, but also include adequate assessment measures to assure studentlearning and success with established objectives.This paper details an ongoing curriculum development effort between four engineeringdepartments, two in the U.S., one in Puerto Rico, and one in Spain. The partnership betweenMissouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSUP), University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM), and Universidad Publica deNavarra (UPNA) is developing an integrated supply chain management curriculum designed tofoster effective communication skills.

(Kocaoglu, 1984) and currently, there are probably more than100 universities in the US offering an undergraduate and / or graduate programs in EM. EMprograms are generally embedded within the departments of industrial engineering or systemsengineering, depending on the universities (Farr and Kotnour, 2005). However, in order to reflectthe gradual shift from manufacturing to turn-key systems integrators in a global economicenvironment, many universities have aligned their EM programs with their systems engineeringprogram (Farr and Beude, 2003).Research Model and MethodologyThe objective of the research is to revisit and update the graduate EM program at Stevens inorder to make it more appealing to both the students and the industry employers alike

Page 15.493.11Case studies were also developed to put the student into a real-world situation where they have touse what they have learned to resolve the problem or issue. In each case, the students are to applytheir knowledge of improvement programs to the assigned projects and case studies; thenanalyze their effectiveness, suggest improvements, and implement them. Additional case studieswere developed from the study's findings and used as an integral part of the lecture anddiscussion sections
