Projects involving public and private entities make up a significant portion of both oftheir reviews, indicating the utility of such partnerships to both parties.The projects described above demonstrate the value of partnerships between government andacademia. Additionally, the Department of Civil Engineering at the UMD places great value onhands-on, real-world projects. The UMD recently published a strategic plan consisting of severalgoals. One of these goals was to strengthen ties with local communities in an intentional, visible,and mutually beneficial partnership. Following the publication of the strategic plan, the City ofDuluth

Concepts fromthese texts have guided the redesign of the Management of Engineering Systems course.Another guiding concept that has influenced the redesign of this course is that most courses inthe Engineering Management curriculum will eventually be delivered in the 8-week acceleratedonline program. Once each course is developed, it will be offered on a rotating schedule based onthe needs of the cohort in the accelerated program.
