program development to the specificsof developing the MS Systems Engineering program (MSSyE) at National University’s Schoolof Engineering and Technology. Most particularly, the focus will be on incorporating principlesof engineering management into the MSSyE curriculum. This answers the question regardingwhich specializations, if any, should be included in this new curriculum, and why engineeringmanagement should be one of them. It also shows how this was accomplished according to alimited body of graduate curriculum design knowledge.Systems Engineering and Engineering Management Relationships Systems engineering, by its very nature, is not specialized and even seems to be difficult todefine.

desire to contribute positively to society and to helpdevelop “cutting edge” technological innovations were common themes that engineeringstudents considered from pre-high school, through high school, to their early college years.Consistent with previous studies [3]-[5], math and science interest, participation in STEM-related activities and clubs/organizations, and career considerations and professionalopportunities contribute to students’ major choice decisions. By examining the influences of student engineering major choice across life stages usingthe life course perspective, we found that the sources of influence can vary across time. Whilesocial influence is a common theme across the life stages, the source of the influence—the“who

last spring indicated that 23% ofthe respondents had not chosen a major. Of those listing a major, only 3.4% had selectedengineering. However, just fewer than 20% had selected areas (Science, Electrical/IndustrialMaintenance, Construction, Computer Information Technology, and Homeland Security) thatcould lead to engineering. Additional information is necessary to ascertain the motivationsbehind these selections. The survey information collected will be used in the initial preparationof the new recruiting materials for both institutions.The University has updated many of its policies to assist veterans with the transition.

:“Engineers know from experience that this view is untrue. [From an engineering perspective],technology appears, not as derivative from science, but as an autonomous body of knowledge.Aero planes are not designed by science, but by art – despite some pretense and humbug to thecontrary. The creative, constructive knowledge of the engineer is the knowledge needed toimplement that art.” Vincenti’s core theme is that engineers and engineering educators need to present,explicitly, the engineering worldview with the corresponding understanding of engineeringknowledge and engineering practice. 2 Duke engineer Henry Petroski, adopting the ‘natural’engineering perspective, had an article in The Washington Post entitled, “If you want to changethe
