allows rapid evolution of the set of topics for advanced studies tocomplete the undergraduate degree.In this report we discuss the general background leading to our approach, the current state of ourprogram, and the specifics of our new program. Although not a traditional “engineeringmanagement” program, we believe our approach will lead to an academic program that willdevelop productive engineering managers. The emphasis in this paper is on the need for the typeof program we have designed, and on the specifics of our implementation for meeting theperceived need. In subsequent papers we will report on results from our experience with our newprogram. We will describe in a forthcoming paper on the process we followed in developing ourdesign for

Frequentlythey apply for admission, fill out financial aid forms, and apply for TAP and Pell grants. Thenthey rush to spend any excess funds that appear in their account. They spend their moneyrecklessly by purchasing designer sneakers and IPods and then have difficulty paying fortransportation to the college.

Typically project management instruction is designed and well suited for productdevelopment and process improvement projects where the tasks can be clearly defined. It ismore difficult to apply project management techniques to research oriented projects even thoughinvolving undergraduate students in leading-edge research programs often has strong and longterm impact on student creativity.
