An unconventionalsolution, such as co-locating engineering and humanities programs in the same department, canaddress these needs by helping to provide environmental engineers both breadth and depth(Figure 1).Figure 1.

The objective of the Stevens ISE program would be to position the school as aregional leader in systems analytics and data science as applied to engineering design.I/M/S Engineering programs tend to focus on one or more concentrations; in areas suchas ergonomics, manufacturing, supply chains, information systems, or data science.Columbia focuses on analytics and applied mathematics

lack of access to role models particularly female role models. Anoverview of these factors suggests that, to minimize the effect of the factors that discourageyoung girls to choose engineering and technology majors, it is important that focus be placed onthe K-12 system. More specifically, the negative perceptions that girls develop at a young ageshould be corrected before they enter high school. Research shows that emphasizing the effort onearly learning environments would make a significant impact [12]. If the gender profiling anddeveloping the concept that females are not good in STEM can be intervened in early schoolyears, at least there is possibility that female students might pursue careers in STEM areas infuture.Recognizing the fact

Furthermore, as system and productintegration extended beyond single engineering disciplines the membership of the advisoryboard had to be similarly extended. A topical and relevant example of this is the blurring ofboundaries between Computer Science and Electronic Engineering in the emergent marketfor the Internet of Things [5]; the new products consisting of a fusion of technologies fromboth disciplines. With the advent of trans-national joint degree programs betweenUniversities in separate continents, the problem is further exacerbated by the
