. The new criteria specify that engineering programs shouldseek to continuously improve their degree offerings through an ongoing assessment processthat includes constituent input. Our own department has specified undergraduate alumni asone of the prime or key constituents that will be queried for input into our own processes.For the first time in our history, we sent a detailed survey to all of our undergraduate alumni.We also solicited salary information that could be submitted anonymously. The results fromthe survey will be presented and discussed.IntroductionThe Department of Engineering Management at The University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR)has been in existence for over thirty years, and was among the first degrees of its kind in theUnited

Despite these technologies being taught mostlyin computer science curricula than in engineering programs, the authors indicate that ethicalconsiderations, biases, and social implications are often not adequately addressed in education[19]. One of the four identified strategies for higher education is to redesign their programs toincorporate "hands-on data fluency and management courses". They recommend that therecommended data fluency courses should include data management, statistics, machine learning,data ethics, and the social implications of future intelligent systems to manage the increasingcomplexity and

It is preferred that the leadershipdevelopment be an accommodative platform for other purposes such as program assessment andassessment of student learning outcomes.2According to Malzahn, Whitman and Toro-Ramos3 a lack of effective leadership exists acrossindustry, government and academe. This lack is attributed to confusion as to what/who is aleader and how leadership is related to management. Dixon4 points out that leadership is aprocess that relates leader, follower and purpose. The role of followers in the process ofleadership is often neglected, adding to the confusion. Malzahn, et. al.3, also suggest thatleadership development within engineering programs may
