. IntroductionIn the five years leading up to the beginning of our current strategic planning cycle, the Collegeof Engineering at Purdue had undergone a period of significant growth both in faculty andfacilities. The key questions facing the college centered around how to identify and realize theopportunities that this growth was creating. With this in mind, when the work on the nextgeneration strategic plan began in late 2006, inclusiveness and widespread engagement ofstakeholders were defining goals for the planning process. Reflecting this goal of including alllevels of faculty and staff as well as students, outside academic and industrial experts andalumni,approximately hundreds of people across 25 continentshave been engaged in the preparation ofthe

complain that they would like their MS and PhD students to learn more aboutbusiness, but there is not enough room in the program to take a plethora of business courses. Inboth cases, the faculty members want students to have a single course they can take that willprovide the basics of business. Yet, as we found, such a course is rare. What no one hasdisputed is the richness of knowledge, approaches, and ideas when engineering, science, andbusiness students are combined in the classroom. With that in mind, we created a new course,Business Basics for Engineers and Scientists, that serves to provide those basic skills engineeringand science professors want for their graduate students, and prepares those who wish to takefurther business or
