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

During the ECPproject, it became evident that the primary goal of creating a sustainable network of engineeringfaculty at HBCUs to focus on ECP was the driving force behind the IEC, but with a widerimpact. The ECP network was formed through a series of in-person and online workshops andinformational meetings, and the same approach was planned for the IEC. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organization to change its plans, resulting in a series of mini workshopsthroughout 2020 [2]. The purpose of these workshops was to explore policies, ideas, training,infrastructure, and other topics that would support effective partnerships, and to address

) changing the baselinedata collection from the 5th grade statewide Science Test to the 5th grade statewide ScienceReleased Exam. The first two changes align with social distancing procedures. The third changeis due to a lack of 5th grade statewide End-of-Grade (EOG) Science Test administration or scoresfor spring 2020. As such, the researchers planned to use the released exam as a proxy for 5th gradeEOG.It should be noted that even with these pivots, the team continued to experience additional ad hocchallenges throughout Year 1. For example, the student assent and parent consent process wassignificantly delayed due to several compounding factors including not being able to send studentsand families consent forms prior to the course start, students
