StructureSyllabi from 27 Industrial Engineering programs (and 1 Engineering Management program)were examined to determine the design and structure of their capstone courses. Information thatwas readily available for each program included course design (type of projects), credit hours persemester, number of semesters, grading structure, whether work was conducted as teams, and ifother disciplines were included in the course. Characteristics common across all programs arethe use of teams and the use of an A-F grading scale (with the exception of one university).The majority of the capstone course projects were strictly sponsored by industry as seen inFigure 1. Two of the universities (7%) utilized an independent project design where studentseither chose

Teams – No single issue is more important, nor more elusive for an undergraduate program than training undergraduate students to work on teams. At the graduate level, ongoing research projects managed by research professors offer students the team experience and all that it entails. Most engineering programs have senior design classes revolving around a semester-long team project. This is useful, but often, too little and too late. We need projects that encourage cooperation and facilitate mentoring early in an undergraduate’s career. The teaming of two normally independent classes is our key innovation.2. Large Systems – Our semester orientation precludes large projects. Large projects mean design, documentation, project

It is preferred that the leadershipdevelopment be an accommodative platform for other purposes such as program assessment andassessment of student learning outcomes.2According to Malzahn, Whitman and Toro-Ramos3 a lack of effective leadership exists acrossindustry, government and academe. This lack is attributed to confusion as to what/who is aleader and how leadership is related to management. Dixon4 points out that leadership is aprocess that relates leader, follower and purpose. The role of followers in the process ofleadership is often neglected, adding to the confusion. Malzahn, et. al.3, also suggest thatleadership development within engineering programs may

Unfortunately, acomprehensive study of engineering management programs across the US, conducted by Gandhiand Pinto [7], revealed that less than 1/3 of all programs offered risk management courses. Toaddress this gap in current educational curriculum, the authors discuss existing approaches toinclude systemic risk management material in engineering management programs.Systemic risk and its importance to engineering managers According to Kaufman and Scott [8], systemic risk is thought of as a risk that originatesfrom multiple sources, affects multiple agents and propagates quickly among individual parts orcomponents of the
