the demand for our EAPM graduate students is very strong, and this isexpected to continue to 2005.B. Industry’s Needs. Since our constituents are private industry, we surveyed industry’s needsand designed the curriculum around those needs. Many of the desired qualities of our EAPMprogram were related to manufacturing, because Southern California has the second largestmanufacturing center in the U.S.In 1990, a detailed survey was conducted with over 50 top executives from aerospace/defenseand commercial manufacturing companies [13]. Their three strongest needs were: (1) an inter-disciplinary engineering and business curriculum, (2) 30-36 semester-hour master’s program,and (3) relevance to manufacturing and total quality.In the Fall of 1994

The AeA was responding to an internal report generatedby a task force from its state Council which advised that “state colleges and universities mustincrease capacity and improve access for would-be students” and that “the legislature shouldfocus on funding new capacity in higher education.” The only State university on the west sideof the state offering an EE degree received state funding to increase capacity by 20%, but theneed for more qualified graduating engineers remained unmet.
