However, as projects become more complex and theuncertainty associated with technical aspects of them increases, the risks related to not only thoseprojects but also the environment have to be considered from a holistic or systemic perspective. Inthis dynamic environment, it is important for engineers and engineering managers to understandvarious aspects of risk management such as risk identification, risk tracking, risk impactassessment, risk prioritization and risk mitigation planning, implementation and progressmonitoring.In this paper, the authors review all the existing courses in their Engineering Management (EM)program and analyze the current offerings of

Outcomes of teaching the SCM course in twosemesters were compared by class average grade, grade distribution, students’ perception of thelevel of challenge in their work on a design project, and IDEA teaching evaluation scores fromstudents.

need is by using teams (Varvel, Adams,Pridie, & Ruiz Ulloa, 2004). Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S. Adams & Ruiz, 2004; Pascarella &Terenzini, 2005). Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors. Several initiativeshave been done in engineering education -like project-based learning and team-basedlearning to try to promote teamwork skills (Felder & Brent, 2009; Prince, 2004). However

For many engineeringfirms, due to increasing cost pressures resultant from globalization, products are designed incountry X, made in country Y, and the customer and after sales support could be in country Z.Hence, the engineer of the 21st century has to be able to work with people in all of these roles;thus making international exposure extremely important to engineering majors—very often,giving them a competitive edge over other engineers who have only been educated or worked ina single culture.Additionally, according to John Grandin4 who runs the International
