What about the education oftomorrow’s engineering manager? Will the EM graduates of 2020 succeed with thetopics being taught in the EM curriculum today?A few years ago, students, alumni and employers were

video technology has become a widely used medium for education. A prominentimplementation of this technology, interactive distance learning, involves groups of students atlocal and remote sites connected by audio and video teleconferencing. This approach has madethe task of delivering vital undergraduate and graduate engineering courses to distributedaudiences much easier.As this approach has permeated more curricula, distance education instructors have increasinglyassigned projects that require distance learners to work together as an element of the final coursegrade. This trend presents an interesting opportunity for researchers to understand the nature ofinteractions among course participants involved in project teams.This paper presents the

In response to this input, starting withCohort 2 in the fall 1999 semester, specific readings were assigned weekly from the book “TheHuman Side of Managing Technological Innovation” by Ralph Katz (now in its second edition).These readings are generally followed, although significant campus or community events thatillustrate topics in management are sometimes substituted at the last minute in order to use themas emerging case studies that directly affect the student’s environment.By the fall of

The programshave much in common, but differ in their focus on different industries and on different tools.Some programs seem to have been designed to meet the needs of specific industries and even ofspecific companies. We use these findings to support conclusions about the nature of systemsengineering education and to make recommendations to industrial engineering

tuition andliving costs or burdensome loans that follow graduates long into their careers. Furthermore,many college graduates cannot even find jobs in their major field. This can be the result of asluggish economy or employers looking for career skills that were not really taught and learnedin college. Thus, the authors started pondering ways online education could help alleviate thesedilemmas. There are various challenges that need to be considered not the least of which is thecredibility offered to online programs. A large part of our society still believes, “You get whatyou pay for.”, and considering that underlying psychology, it will be a challenge for employers tohire people with free online educations.

Additional domains and/or topics are often added at the discretion of the program.Such additional areas of expertise may offer a uniqueness that sets the program apart fromothers. However, if there is more uniqueness than foundational topics, the program may considerchanging the title of the program to something that more appropriately fits their unique offerings.The first step in the review is to identify all core and elective courses that reside within thedepartment. It may be appropriate to include core courses from other departments when they areprerequisite to the discipline-specific knowledge core.

But it is equally, if not more,important to educate the existing leaders on this topic since they need to learn and adapt to a newform of leadership.Understanding globalization is a good start to becoming an effective global leader but thelearning does not end there.
