a revision of the course (see Exhibit 7).Exhibit 7. 595.781 Executive Technical Leadership Course Building on a Strong FoundationBased on this feedback, we introduced:• Additional senior executive roles: We expanded the senior executive roles that students play from only VPs of Engineering and Manufacturing to VPs of Research, Technical Services, and CTO/CIO. Creating these new roles introduces a more comprehensive division of labor at the senior technical levels in the real-world.• Contemporary topics: Senior technical executives are constantly being challenged with innovative methodologies, processes, and technologies. We integrated Agile approaches, methodologies, and cultures into the strategic and execution framework

quickly.The MSPS program prepares students with science, technology, engineering, and mathbackgrounds to take on management roles when they enter the job market by providing themwith the skills needed for a successful career. A compelling aspect of this program is the capstoneinternship. Students have the opportunity to gain exposure to their field of study. Students andtheir internship employers report that the MSPS program coursework prepares students for asuccessful internship. The internship program is mutually beneficial for the student and theemployer. The students are continuously rated with above-average skills, including interpersonalskills, knowledge of concentration, oral and written communication, quality of work, and overallperformance

extended abstract describes a pilot study of AdVentures in which there was an averageimprovement of 10% in student performance in a group of engineering management master’sstudents. Further research is needed to confirm this finding; should it hold, this AI-enablediterative approach offers an effective and scalable solution to negotiation/management education.Theoretical FoundationAdVentures is rooted in research on negotiation strategies, artificial intelligence, and experientiallearning. The use of AI technology in negotiation is an active topic for negotiation, management,and computer science researchers [2]–[4]. With the release of chatGPT in November 2022,interest has skyrocketed; over 100 million users signed up within the first two months

Management Program Assessment: LessonsLearned with Digital DeliveryAbstractIn the United States, the assessment of undergraduate Engineering Management (EM)undergraduate programs has significantly evolved as viewed through the lens of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Initially, the assessment processprimarily emphasized fundamental engineering skills and knowledge. However, with time, therehas been a notable shift towards a more comprehensive approach encompassing broadercompetencies such as leadership, communication, and teamwork. This shift is in response to theinterdisciplinary demands of modern engineering management. ABET has adapted to thischanging landscape by emphasizing outcomes-based assessment more strongly

programs, achieving high effectiveness andfosters the achievement of set goals.IntroductionEfficiently managing large educational STEM programs, particularly interdisciplinary projects,requires a harmonious blend of team dynamics and individual personality strengths [1]. Theseprojects bring together experts from divergent disciplines to collaborate towards common goals,making the team set up a critical determinant of success. While much attention has been givento factors like team composition, size, and tenure, the impact of team members’ personality traitson overall team effectiveness remains unexplored.Interdisciplinary Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) projects involvecollaboration across multiple disciplines to address
