leadership roles in project management andproduct development. MEM 605 is a seminar-based course that provides an open atmosphere,allowing for multiple discussion opportunities and guest speakers that can provide students withreal-world contexts to supplement traditional textbook knowledge.3. Multidisciplinary Design Projects at ________ UniversityThe capstone senior design experience for Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Electrical andComputer Engineering (ECE) students at _________ University has rapidly developed into oneof the most valuable learning experiences for the undergraduate students. The course sequencecovers two semesters and provides a multidisciplinary, team design experience to students inboth the mechanical and electrical/computer

This is closely followedby the other classical management, note management – not engineering management, areas ofstrategy and marketing and our industrial engineering roots (OR/simulation, production planningand control).Several additional items were gleamed from this study; 1. Eight of the 28 programs had an experience requirement. This requirement was almost Page 12.647.6 uniformly distributed at 2, 3, and 5 years. 2. Only one program seemed to require a thesis – the ABET accredited one. 3. Capstone projects were common but not universal for

up by the students themselves based onguidelines provided by the ESIM program instructors.Finally, each concentration area in the ESIM curriculum includes a capstone experience thatstudents are required to complete. The capstone experience is designed by the student inconsultation with an ESIM faculty member and a sponsor from their employing enterprise.Capstone experiences are designed to be similar in economic or performance impact to projectsconducted by Six Sigma black belt holders. The latter are required to complete a project thathas, at minimum, a $1 million impact on their employing enterprise.The capstone projects for the ESIM concentrations will not have as stringent a requirement as aSix Sigma black belt, but it is intended to be

engineering courses, communication skills are not taught explicitly;however, students are expected and held accountable for being able to speak and write well.Consequently, there is a need to change university engineering programs in order to provideopportunities for students to develop communication skills (Pet-Armacost, & Armacost, 2003).The importance and need for oral and written communication skills in engineering has beenclearly recognized. Engineering students who have good communication skills are more likelyto succeed and advance in the professional world than those who don’t.Team-Working Skills in EngineeringIn today’s work environment, project tasks generally involve the establishment of teams formedby people from different functional
