They ensure that alltechnical aspects of a project are properly integrated and managed, leading to successful projectoutcomes. This literature review explores the key components, methodologies, and best practicesof SEMPs, drawing from a range of sources, including government and industry guidelines, aswell as academic research.1.2.1 Key Components of SEMPs A SEMP typically includes several critical components: project overview

: A METHODOLOGYAbstractThis paper introduces a methodology for teaching the Design of Experiments (DoE) MechanicalEngineering course. The concept centers on three principles: a multidisciplinary approach, studentempowerment, and real-life engineering challenges. The DoE course curriculum centers aroundtwo phases, Project 1, and Project 2, with critical problem-solving as the core focus. Project-basedlearning involves teams selecting real-life challenges and adopting a connection between students'missions and global issues. It progresses through establishing project needs, cultivating ownershipthrough role-playing, and developing technical knowledge. Work Plan Development encompassesdrafting experimental plans, data collection strategies, and

is inspired by the use of projectmanagement (PM) tools from operations research.A complex project requires two phases, planning and execution. The planning phase establishesa series of major tasks and continues breaking them into smaller parts. The next step identifiesdependencies among the tasks creating the critical path where the two major constraints are timeand resources required. The Critical Path Method (CPM) is used to identify the vital chain ofevents to finish a project. The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) weredeveloped to expand CPM capabilities. The innovation included a probabilistic model using best,worst, and expected times to complete each task. Therefore, PERT produces an estimatedcompletion time of the

However, other priorities, a reduction in total courses from 38 to 36, and a generallack of support from engineering faculty for new programs led to inaction on major curricularchange until the past three years. A new administration and strategic growth plan adopted by thecollege in 2016 provided a renewed opportunity to consider how the engineering division mightrespond to some of the recommendations of the earlier reviews.
