in various delivery modules such as during the regular semester or in a modular format which would be preferable to engineering management students who are already working in industry.b. The course could also be offered jointly between the business and engineering schools at a university. This would prove beneficial as it would provide varying perspectives of understanding systemic risk. Alternatively, the program could also be offered through joint collaborations with other schools.c. The material on systemic risk could be offered through an extension of existing courses. This is a particularly useful approach to implement when the course syllabus only allows a certain amount of credits and it is difficult to drop any other
