As in every profession, current academic professional behaviors have developed over thelast fifty years under the influence of the academic reward and recognition systems that havegrown over that same time period. The rewards to faculty at the UA are similar to typicalsystems in PhD granting institutions, in that they focus on tenure and promotion with a largeelement of the assessment function concentrated on research attainment and publication.Even with an increased

However, as projects become more complex and theuncertainty associated with technical aspects of them increases, the risks related to not only thoseprojects but also the environment have to be considered from a holistic or systemic perspective. Inthis dynamic environment, it is important for engineers and engineering managers to understandvarious aspects of risk management such as risk identification, risk tracking, risk impactassessment, risk prioritization and risk mitigation planning, implementation and progressmonitoring.In this paper, the authors review all the existing courses in their Engineering Management (EM)program and analyze the current offerings of
