Part C takes place during the fall semester, in which students submit a series of assignments (Table 2) and receive feedback from instructors via an online learning management platform (Canvas). Most of the assignments are designed to help students with their Capstone projects: a required final course of this graduate program, in which they must individually conductevidence-based research, identify, and solve an industrial problem that would bring significantimpact to an organization.

The development of leadership is especially important for students whowish to pursue management careers including project management (PM) which is a highlyneeded and promising career path. Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading. TheNational Research Council Board on Engineering education noted that undergraduate curriculumneeds to be reformed in order for undergraduates to get extensive exposure to interdisciplinary,hands-on skills, creative design, and systems thinking[2].

Again, within thesetwo groupings, two-year programs in a certain technology field tended to be very similar to oneanother and would conform to the technology accreditation commission (TAC) of ABET criteriaespoused at the time.

IntroductionThe available funding for manufacturing research and national strategic directions have inspiredresearchers and produced a surge in manufacturing education and research among educationalinstitutes including high schools, community colleges, vocational training centers, anduniversities. Although there are more students interested in manufacturing, some institutes haveto balance between the steep increment of student enrollment and available resources.
