projects.2. PROGRAM DEVELOPME TDuring the Spring of 2010, JSU’s Technology Department was selected to receive a grant fromthe U.S. Department of Homeland Security to establish an Emergency Management Technologyprogram and offer scholarships. In September 2011, Technology Department received anothergrant from DHS, through its Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics CareerDevelopment Grants program. This grant enabled EMT program to award scholarships to moreundergraduate students who demonstrate career interest in Homeland Security. In 2014, JacksonState University received two additional grants, from DHS and Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC), to augment the EMT program with new curriculum and state-of-the-art laboratories.The EMT
the School of Engineering, was responsible for designing and creating a sustainable outcomes assessment program that achieved 100% engineering faculty participation at this institution [5]. It took seven uninterrupted years of persistent effort to reach the current level of “faculty culture” that sustains this program in a stable manner. The second element is based on the research finding that it takes 10 years of active engagement to become an expert in any domain, even for the most talented individuals [6, p.412; as quoted in 7]. Clearly, it takes patience and persistence to reach a high level of achievement. After the grant period, all

StanfordUniversity there was a need to give students in the graduate programs in Aeronautics andAstronautics ‘hands-on’ experience to learn systems engineering. To provide this experience,the Space Systems Development laboratory was started in 1994 to take students through the fulllife cycle of a project. In this case it was designing, building, launching and operatingmicrosatellites in space. The program now is finishing the third generation of microsatellites andstarting a new program concentrating on building picosatellites called CubeSat (10 cm cube,weighting 1kg).Although the program has successfully launched two of their microsatellites and have launchesfor three more, it was determined that the best education value could be obtained by building

This level of growthsuggests that there might be great opportunities for growth within Master’s degree programs inEngineering Management. The questions are: Who are these new engineering and sciencestudents that might gain from an Engineering
design process.Therefore, it is important to educate engineering managers about the key role that both systemsarchitecture and systems engineering play in the success or failure of an engineering system. Itis the belief of the authors that this may be accomplished reasonably well in a single course inprograms where a more in-depth course sequence is not a realistic option. Although combiningthese topics restricts the depth at which either may be taught, there are natural synergies thatallow this combination.The goal of this combined course is to familiarize the engineering management students withboth systems architecture and systems engineering, to understand the common pitfalls associatedwith each, and to begin to develop a mindset that
