projects.2. PROGRAM DEVELOPME TDuring the Spring of 2010, JSU’s Technology Department was selected to receive a grant fromthe U.S. Department of Homeland Security to establish an Emergency Management Technologyprogram and offer scholarships. In September 2011, Technology Department received anothergrant from DHS, through its Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics CareerDevelopment Grants program. This grant enabled EMT program to award scholarships to moreundergraduate students who demonstrate career interest in Homeland Security. In 2014, JacksonState University received two additional grants, from DHS and Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC), to augment the EMT program with new curriculum and state-of-the-art laboratories.The EMT

Relying solely on teaching approaches such as problem based learning are unlikely to Page 26.507.2 1help students to develop critical thinking skills. In addition, emphasis should also be given to theassessment and evaluation of critical thinking skills.This paper provides a review of the Master of Science in Engineering Management andSustainability Management programs, both of which were designed to incorporate “criticalthinking skills” as a major focus. In addition, the paper illustrates examples of
2: Courses such as controlling, staffing, planning, etc., if claimed as ECC for EMprograms must be designed and taught with engineering relationships. A generic version, not Page 26.172.11specifically focused on engineering management, is not appropriate for an EM program since it isno different from a business course or a management of technology course. 10Recommendation: These relationships must be highlighted, assessed and evaluated in the self-study. Some type of committee structure should be in place to monitor/assess the ECC content forthese

This paper reviews the literature oncapstone projects in general, to draw lessons that can be learned to formulate the basisfor designing the course. It then describes how the course objectives, teaching andlearning activities and assessments are devised. A typical delivery of the course isthen described where the three elements have been detailed. The main learningactivities were reviews of lessons from other

US15,83. Clearly, the future of American innovation leadership is not as certain as in the past, andother countries are strong competitors in this innovation race. One potential solution is toincrease understanding about the best way to manage innovation. To that end, we offer atheoretical framework, Organized Innovation, which could be used to help leaders better manageinnovation efforts. It is based on our decade-long research program on National ScienceFoundation (NSF) Engineering Research Centers (ERCs)84. The ERC Program was launched in1985 with a mission to strengthen the competitiveness of US firms through improved researchand education. The central tenets of the ERC Program include an emphasis on educating futurescientists
“skin in the game” to make experiential learning productive? 4. How can the Baldrige Process be tailored to meet the needs of an overarching system, measure the effectiveness of technology based businesses, while also providing processes from which others can learn without detracting from the those elements that are currently successful.Here are some of our findings that could contribute during this discussion: 1. Strategic planning is not included in many engineering management programs that teach design and development of new or innovative technology. How then can strategic alignment be achieved by the organization’s engineering management? 2. Development of mutually beneficial partnerships, trade
