organization of this unit is often treated as a singledepartment and is determined by the size of the student body and the number of faculty in eacharea. This type of unit is rarely seen in Engineering and involves management of variousdisciplines by people not experienced in those disciplines. This leads to many students and facultynot being well served within their area of study or expertise.The disciplinary content of these units is discussed along with the types of managerialorganizations being utilized. Pros and cons of the various organizational structures are discussedalong with correspondence to program size. Finally, some comments will be offered to helpalleviate some of these problems.1.

CONCLUDING REMARKS Given today’s industrial engineering development environment, the study of Project Management is an essential element of an EET academic program. By integrating the teaching and application of its basic concepts in a senior capstone project course, students become prepared to assume the dual role of project designer and project manager when given real industrial project assignments after graduation.

Engineering DisciplineA subject that is broadly seen as being relevant across all engineering disciplines is ‘projectmanagement’, since the ‘project’ has become the way in which engineering organizations dotheir work4. As such undergraduates and graduates from engineering programs are invariablyexpected to have functional knowledge and skills in project management (PM) 2. A well-designed engineering curriculum should go a long way to preparing the future project managersinvolved in various engineering careers. Providing sound education to students and practitionerscan alleviate project failures. Engineers can be taught a baseline set of modern projectmanagement theory as well as practical tools and techniques that can be applied to both large

Specifically, the time has arrivedto require students to have exposure to management topics such as entrepreneurship, financialmanagement, and global economics.
