The MBA provided at most university business schools did not suffice. 1From the beginning EM programs were designed to prepare any and all graduate engineers fortechnical management positions. Thus the incoming graduate students to these programs camefrom any and all engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil. chemical, petroleum, etc.).So from the onset, EM programs had and continue to have an interdisciplinary flavor. There arefew EM undergraduate programs in the United States (or the world for that matter).2 EvenUniversities that do have undergraduate programs, accept non-engineering management bachelordegreed applicants. The faculty teaching in most EM programs, also come from a

By analyzing the connection between initial course performance and overall GPA, we seek togain valuable insights to better support graduate students throughout their academic journey.IntroductionGraduate programs in the Engineering Management (EM) program are designed to equip students withthe interdisciplinary knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex technical and managerialchallenges. To ensure students are adequately prepared, most programs require completion of corecourses in areas such as probability, statistics, mathematics, and operations research. These

These educationalopportunities can be classified into several categories: engineering management, systemsengineering, engineering entrepreneurship, and leadership, internship, and other multi-disciplinary programs. Most of these programs are designed to introduce engineers to thebusiness world through courses, project teams, and interaction with business enterprises andbusiness leaders.The overall purpose of this study is to summarize the approaches
