Typically project management instruction is designed and well suited for productdevelopment and process improvement projects where the tasks can be clearly defined. It ismore difficult to apply project management techniques to research oriented projects even thoughinvolving undergraduate students in leading-edge research programs often has strong and longterm impact on student creativity.

Many product failures can be traceddirectly to breakdowns in the architectural or systems engineering practices of the design team.Despite the increased emphasis on systems engineering, most systems engineering textbookstend to focus on specific tools (such as requirements or interface management systems) ordescribe the systems engineering and systems architecting process in a rather generic discussion.Case studies are typically brief and relatively sparse.A typical teaching approach is to introduce a tool, illustrate how the tool can be applied,introduce another tool, etc. However, cultivating expertise in specific tools that may not be inuse by a student’s employer adds

such as designing supplier quality audits. The rubric is a useful tool for a manager to decide what level of expertise an engineer iscurrently in, which in turn can help the manager determine what type of assignment, instructionand feedback an employee needs (see Table 5). For example, to get an individual to the novicestage, an instructor/manager should either teach the basic skill/theory/principle or allow time andresources for the individual to learn them, rather than assuming they already know them. This isa very different type of instruction then needed to move an individual from proficient to expert.In that situation the manager should be focused on encouraging the individual to draw on theirexperiences and help build their self

An example of a process improvement involves recording scores on theaccounting section of the Educational Testing Service standardized test. Additional data such asfaculty assignments, textbooks, course design, teaching methods, and course order werecollected. To improve average test scores from 42.4% to 46.5%, the input variables werealtered.
