Students areasked to address and document (as appropriate) these factors in their final project report.Project groups meet with the course instructor weekly throughout the semester. Although onefaculty member is in charge of the course, project teams are strongly encouraged to consult withother faculty members in their areas of expertise.

Adding a separatecourse to the IE department in this area would benefit the MSIE degree program as well as theMSEM program. Also, the department already teaches a Law and Ethics course on the under-graduate level, but either restructuring the current course to be taught on a graduate level, oradding an additional course on the graduate level would also be valuable.Two other courses that would be valuable additions to the department would be ProjectManagement and Technology Forecasting & Commercialization.
