The future plan of utilizing SAP softwaremodules1 in the graduate level engineering management course and in the selected undergraduatelevel engineering courses will be described. This plan is based on collaboration between thecollege of engineering and the college of business at Southern University in association with theSAP university alliance program.I.

, industrial espionage resultingin major financial losses, and many more malicious after effects. By using worms, viruses, Trojan horses, andvarious malicious tools, hackers have managed to make safe computing a more difficult task. This has resulted inintroducing the concepts of cybersecurity in the education of computer science, information technology, and relatedfields. Cyber defense concepts are being introduced in traditional engineering and technology programs. To this end,we have developed a course module on “Secure Programming” to effectively teach the best practices of securecoding in Fairleigh Dickinson University’s undergraduate engineering programming course. This paper presents thecontents of this module and our experiences in teaching it

leadership education programs: effective leadership, innovation and technology,independent learning, experiential learning and systems thinking. The analysis of the competenciesfound a diverse spread across the programs. Overall, six key competencies emerged:communication, innovation, creativity, execution, personal drive, and teamwork. This analysisprovides insight on the focus of engineering leadership education and the progress of the field. Thefindings can be used for the development of new engineering leadership programs.IntroductionAs society drives forward and a new generation of engineers is just around the corner, we must askif we are properly educating our engineers for the future. Professional skills such as leadershiphave become critical
and knowledge of social sciences and humanities as well as theawareness of social and environmental impacts emanating from professional practices.Fawcett and Roberts4 observed that the engineering profession will be invisible andmarginalized in the public domain if it continues on the path of celebrants of technologywithout social values. As technological innovations become more common, the wonder oftechnology, in public eyes, recedes and with it the profession that developed it and services it.Yet despite the continual rhetoric, in engineering schools, departments and faculties, of Page 12.495.2meeting needs of industry, there is

It is one of four universities in the Northwest to be granted aranking of Carnegie Doctoral/Research-Extensive. There were over 3,000 undergraduatestudents in engineering and over 2,000 undergraduates in business as of Fall term, 2002.1 In2003, the university completed a strategic plan emphasizing five multidisciplinary themes. Oneof the thematic areas is “optimizing enterprise, technological change and innovation.” 2 Tocapitalize on this theme, university administrators are looking at greater levels of collaborationacross disciplines, departments and
technology becomes more essential for basic social functionssuch as communication, work, or recreation. Clearly, this technology has not been evenlydistributed because of cost, education, and cultural issues. Consider the decision as to where amanufacturing plant will be located, which should be heavily influenced by justice (social,economic, racial, distributive). Certainly a just design will comply with any applicable laws andcodes.

evidence for needing and the calls for a new model of engineering education are extensive.These calls have come from a wide variety of sources, such as: The National Academies of Engineering (NAE) in The Engineer 2020 and Educating the Engineer of 2020 publications: "If the United States is to maintain its economic leadership and be able to sustain its share of high-technology jobs, it must prepare for this wave of change. Although there is no consensus at this stage, it is agreed that innovation is the key and engineering is essential to this task; but engineering will only contribute to success if it is able to continue to adapt to new trends and provide education to the next generation of students so as to arm them with the
