IntroductionMaster of Engineering Management (MEM) students offer a unique perspective to educators.Since most of these students are several years into their career, they have strong opinionsregarding the value of course topics for the near term in the current job and in the long term fortheir professional and personal development. As a result, they judge the quality of coursecontent, in large part, based on the likelihood of application. For many

hours.First semester course loads are in essence a measure of college students’ commitment andinvolvement in university life. Motivation, persistence, and commitment have long beenrecognized as critical for academic success. Those students that initially take a full loadare making a conscious commitment to college, which sets the pace for their entirecollege career. In a college student retention study, Cope and Hannah state, “personalcommitment to either an academic or occupational goal is the single most importantdeterminant of persistence in college.”4 In another study that focused on the performanceof students who dropped or withdrew from courses, those who did so had lower grades.Students who maintained more difficult schedules received higher

In addition, the course is open tohigher level developmental students as well as high school students through a dual enrollmentprogram, thus providing an opportunity for students to explore science, technology and relatedsocietal issues early in their academic career.
