Given the breadth of the engineering profession,and the lack of an engineering leadership domain definition, specific program objectives in placetoday depend in large part upon the worldview of those administrating the program or teachingthe course. A literature review on the topic revealed a broad field of perspectives indicative ofthe early stages of domain definition.2 Thus, program facets related to engineering leadership(e.g., innovation and technology product design, and managing complex systems) requireprogram-specific assessment to determine efficacy.

another student success advantage; namely, they encounter less complexcurricula.IntroductionOver the past few years we have developed a number of metrics for quantifying the complexityof academic program curricula.5, 7, 11 This has led to the development of a curricular complexitymetric that directly relates how the structure of a curriculum impacts a student’s ability to progressthrough that curriculum to graduation. We refer to the general study of how program curriculaimpact student academic success as curricular analytics. Research in this area demonstrates thataccording to these complexity metrics, engineering programs tend to be among the most complexcurricula at a university.

Muchof engineering management is conceptually qualitative. Quantitative concepts are required to tiethe discipline to the field of engineering. Thus, there is a requirement for both types of concepts.Hick’s (1999) study found that qualitative concepts were the most likely to be missing. Thisstandard ensures that the program is, in fact, an engineering management program. The centralfocus must be on management in some context, at some level.The remainder

To demonstrateachievement of competencies expected of students graduating from a program in engineering, itis necessary to identify outcomes for courses that are needed to achieve identified programoutcomes. Thus, student learning outcomes, based on program outcomes and course outcomesmust be continually assessed and would serve as the basis for plans to improve programs andcurricula in the programs. Improvement in program outcomes will depend on changing andimproving the curriculum through the course outcomes.Available literature indicates a focus on course outcomes as the way to demonstrate achievementof program outcomes 16-19. But course outcomes can give only limited
