It was essential that the students acquired a verystrong foundation of the fundamental principles. Statics is used as a very important foundationcourse for a variety of subsequent topics such as strength of materials, dynamics, fluidmechanics, machine elements, machine design, manufacturing processes, etc. It is observedthat this category recorded the maximum possible score of 5 on the Likert scale. Thisindicates that the instructor did cover the material. The author is extremely pleased with thisresult.

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
