engineering education must bereformed to include livelong learning, ethics and sustainability; while continuing to teach the Page 15.119.3core undergraduate curriculum. As we ponder the future of higher education’s role inEngineering Management, it may be helpful to start with a baseline of those courses that form agraduate program. An initial cut at the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge wasprovided by Peterson and Humble.3 They sampled 28 programs of higher learning ranked bynumber of students and examined their graduate program of study. They indicated that althoughtheir data was incomplete patterns began to emerge. They generated two lists of
