Initially, severalmajor criteria that appear commonly in the literature were listed and given to a sample audience(from UNC Charlotte MS in Engineering Management program) for feedback. The participantswere also asked to add to the list any criteria that they believed to be important. A total of 11participants provided inputs. This set of criteria included substantive learning, complexity,duration, customizability, timing flexibility, fun, learning objectives, discussions, engagementlevel, interaction, cost, pre-requisite knowledge, key topics covered, configurability, industrysettings, real-world connection, graphics, interesting topic, intuitive game play, “non-boring”duration, and different player modes.Based

Program Design • The MEM program employs a cohort design in which up to 30 students are admitted each year, and the group progresses through a fixed curriculum as a cohesive, well-supported learning community. Courses are designed to enable students to customize their learning through the selection of individual and team projects in each course. • All courses employ a problem- and project-based curriculum. Students pursue and apply their learning through required discussions with colleagues at their
quantitative research topics. Dr. Lampley also serves as the Graduate Program Coordinator for the Post Secondary and Private Sector Leadership concentration in the ELPA de- partment. Dr. Lampley teaches a variety of courses including Research Methods, Educational Statistics, and Quantitative Analysis.

Areview of nationally ranked University web pages show that typical career paths for ISEgraduates included careers in manufacturing to improve operations inside manufacturing plants.More recently, ISE roles have expanded outside the plant to design and improve supply chainsand transportation systems that connect manufacturing facilities.2,3The need to incorporate supply chain management (SCM) content is indirectly confirmed as theSociety of

, 2016 A Case for Incorporating Preconstruction Cost Estimating in Construction Engineering and Management ProgramsThe need to effectively manage costs during the construction phase of a project to meet budgetconstraints is widely understood by both practitioners and academics. Most, if not all,Construction Engineering and Management undergraduate and graduate programs require thatstudents complete construction cost estimating courses as part of their core curriculum.However, the value of estimating the owner’s planning, design, and procurement costs during thepreconstruction period is not typically included in the Construction Engineering andManagement curriculum. Preconstruction costs are usually defined as all work required
skills.IntroductionOperations management refers to the systematic design, direction, and control of processes thattransform inputs into services and product for internal, as well as external customers. It is a vitaltopic that every engineering management student needs to understand because it is at the heart ofthe creation of wealth for business and the improvement in the living standard of citizens of allcountries1. Operations Management has been listed as a core course in the management scienceand engineering programs all around the world3. This course usually covers broad areas such asprocess analysis, quality and performance, capacity planning, supply chain, inventorymanagement, forecasting, operations planning and scheduling, and resource planning etc., whichare

(STS) perspective.In the field of industrial science and engineering, there are a variety of different systems that are analyzedand designed, and the criteria of distinction between those systems is always the primary and basicelement. An organization can be considered a complex socio-technical system, consisting of a technicaland a social subsystem. Organizations are defined as a social unit of people that are structured andmanaged to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. All organizations have a management structure thatdetermines relationships between the different activities and the members, and subdivides and assignsroles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out different tasks. Organizations are open systems, thus theyaffect

The study also examined the factors of support within the institution, withan emphasis on understanding the effectiveness of various programs and policies (i.e. family-friendly policies, mentoring programs, faculty diversity initiatives) designed to support womenfaculty in engineering.Background on the Problem Compared to their male peers in academic engineering programs, the female faculty isless likely to reach full professorships (Easterly and Ricard, 2011; Touchton, 2008). Rather,women are concentrated at the lower ranks of academia as assistant professors, lecturers andadjunct faculty (Fox, 2010). In 2006, women accounted for 30.5% of non-tenure track instructors, but only 11.9% of associate professors and 3.8% of full

As a result, BIM education in CMprograms has been given more emphases, and a number of CM programs in the U.S. haveincorporated BIM contents in their curriculum through various strategies. While recent studieshave suggested that integrating BIM into existing CM courses is

The one common denominator for first-year engineering courses is that theyare all different. They range from a single class taught by a single professor in anengineering department to 2000 to 3000 students from an engineering college broken intoa number of very large sections each year. The emphasis of these classes ranges fromteaching a programming language to teaching design using a team environment toengineering analysis. Many times programming languages are a primary emphasis ofthese courses with a single platform or a combination of platforms being taught,including MATLAB, C, C++, Fortran, Excel, visual
