Engineering Management TodayDefining Engineering Management: Engineering Management as a discipline is not tightlydefined, as demonstrated by a relatively wide variance among academic EM programs. Thediscipline is often grouped with Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Management ofTechnology. Although very few EM definitions exist, current discipline trends are representedby the following: Engineering Management is the art and science of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and directing and controlling activities which have a technological component.2 Engineering Management is

We also examine the basis forusing academic performance and self-efficacy as learning measures. We then describe theOracle-based exercises, examine the questionnaires and rubrics used to evaluate them, anddescribe the research design. Finally, we present the study results followed by a discussion of thecontributions and implications for further research.2.
