CSU Degree program code for Engineering Management 49042 CIP: 15.1501Program Overview and RationaleRationale, including a brief description of the program, its purpose and strengths, fit with institutional mission, and a justification for offering the program at this time. The rationale may explain the relationship among the program philosophy, design, target population, and any distinctive pedagogical methods. Program Purpose and Description The MSEM is an interdisciplinary online degree designed to develop management, engineering, and problem solving skills as applied to the technical, financial, and organizational requirements of engineering projects. It is a joint program between CSULB’s College of Engineering (COE), College of Business Administration (CBA) and College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE). The curriculum for the MSEM degree will require the completion of 30 semester units of coursework (10 required courses and a comprehensive exam). There will be four courses from CBA (Accounting 500, Finance 501, Management 500 and Marketing 500) that will provide a comprehensive foundation in business principles. There will be six courses from COE (MSEM 506B, 507B, 570B, 591B and two advanced courses from either Civil, Mechanical or Computer Engineering & Computer Science.Together these courses will constitute the engineering-focused application of business administration tools. A comprehensive exam will provide a culminating experience.Students will be admitted each Fall as a cohort and take the courses in a lock-step manner. The program will take less than two years. There will be two classes in Fall I, two in Spring I, two in Summer I, two in Fall II and the final two in Spring II.Engineering Management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to achieve an organization’s specific goals. It is required when optimizing manufacturing processes, implementing technological improvements, undertaking construction projects, and any additional situation where efficiency and effective implementation are desired. Such projects require management capabilities to coordinate the work of all relevant stakeholders. Engineers that have the requisite managerial perspective can transition from a purely technical role to an effective leadership position.StrengthsThe MSEM program director(s) and faculty specialists who teach in the program will offer pertinent advising about program content, courses, and preparation for the comprehensive exam. In addition the College of Business Administration’s Graduate Program Office has an established student advising system that offers individualized service to graduate students. The COE and the CBA Graduate Program Office provide in-depth career counseling in conjunction with the University’s Career Development Center. The MSEM program has an active and engaged Advisory Board with high levels of visibility in the regional engineering field. The Advisory Board has been formed and has met on campus already. The proposed program benefits from a MSEM Director with many years of experience in working with graduate students. Also, the CBA Graduate Program Director is an experienced Marketing professor with experience in growing graduate programs, and CCPE has rich experience in developing relationships as part of their education, outreach and training programs. Program Philosophy and JustificationThe global need for engineering managers has increased dramatically over the past fifteen years. The number of professionals who earned advanced EM credentials grew 10 times over the past decade (PMI 2011 (A)). Worldwide it is estimated that more than 1.2 million job openings will be posted over the next several years (Halfond 2011). In the United States alone, it is estimated that the demand for EM will grow 8% by 2018 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2011 (A)). It is also estimated that the increase in employment of engineering managers will be faster than the average of all other occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2011 (B)). This significant number of EM job openings will be necessary to fulfill new industry needs and replace retiring professionals. Furthermore, EM has been ranked the third-most desired skill required by business professionals (PMI 2011 (A)). The number of students who earned degrees in EM has increased by 14% during the past two years (ASEE 2012). In a recent survey published by the Project Management Institute (PMI), it was revealed that more than 30% of its members plan to earn graduate degrees in EM (PMI 2011 (A)). Despite the obvious worldwide need for EM professionals, there is a wide gap between industry and academia. This gap is illustrated by the lack of enough EM programs offered in American universities. It has been documented that only about 20% of American engineering schools offer programs in management (PMI 2011 (A)). The worldwide the situation is no better, as more than 4,500 engineering schools around the globe do not offer management programs (PMI 2011 (A)). As more organizations seek out highly skilled engineering professionals, more educational institutions must offer quality EM programs that meet industry needs. Due to the market-driven need to fulfill California’s job market vacancies, development of a CSULB online MSEM degree is proposed. The program will not only serve Southern California’s industry needs, but its online format has the potential to attract a large pool of regional and statewide engineers. These professionals may desire to advance their careers, but often have difficulty managing their workload demands in a way that would allow them to attend an on-campus, face-to-face program on a weekly basis.This program will not only help CSULB to meet these evolving and expanding market needs, but will also graduate leaders who competently compete in the challenging national and international project management environments. This MSEM will assist in building strong partnerships between industry and CSULB on a local, regional and global scale.Alignment with the University’s MissionAs a globally-oriented program designed to advance its graduates’ career opportunities, it aligns with the University’s mission of being a “globally-engaged public university committed to providing highly-valued educational opportunities”. And by offering a curriculum that responds directly to employer skillset demands, it aligns with “CSULB’s core academic purpose to graduate students with highly-valued degrees,” as described in the University’s Strategic Plan.Proposed catalog description, including program description, degree requirements, and admission requirements. For master’s degrees, please also include catalog copy describing the culminating experience requirement(s).Degree Program NameMaster of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM)Catalog Description Engineering Management (EM) is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to achieve an organization’s specific goals.

This proposal considers MSEM 591 B to be a new course to be developed (Table 4.6).According to ABET accreditation requirements, each student learning outcome SLO needs to be covered and assessed in at least three required courses. As shown in Table 4.3, each SLO is covered in 7 courses, at least. MSEM program faculty members will design and implement assessment methodology, rubrics and standards to be administered in selected courses. According to ABET, each SLO should be assessed every two years. Table 4.3 shows a proposed assessment schedule every two years. 70% of students, or higher, who exceed and meet expectations is targeted. If this benchmark will not be met, a plan to improve the student learning outcome will be developed and implemented to ensure delivery of high quality program. Furthermore, a student and employer satisfaction surveys will be administered at least twice in six years to monitor overall program performance.

At the beginning of third semester, direct advising will take place to provide job search suggestions and best practices. At the end of the third semester, a program satisfaction survey will be sent studentsFigure 4.2 Advising and Course RoadmapDescribe how accreditation requirements will be met, if applicable, and anticipated date of accreditation request (including the WASC Substantive Change process).The MSEM program will be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Accreditation must meet three sets of standards: strategic planning standards, participants standards (faculty qualifications and sufficiency), and assurance of learning standards.The proposed MSEM program will be subjected to a well-developed strategic planning process and a strategic plan. The assessment activities needed to demonstrate assurance of learning are detailed above in section 4.b. of this document.ABET requires that for each program, sixty percent (60%) of annual teaching effort is delivered by faculty who actively engage in teaching activities and go beyond their direct teaching responsibilities. There are sufficient participating faculty members who meet this requirement.Accreditation Note for Master’s degree program proposals:If subject to accreditation, establishment of a master’s degree program should be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding bachelor’s degree major program. The proposed MSEM is subject to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation. An extensive accreditation maintenance review is conducted every five years. The College of Engineering received extension of accreditation by ABET in 2012 for their Undergraduate degrees. The next maintenance of accreditation review will take place during AY 2017-2018.5.

This focused advanced coursework will be appealing to potential students to advance their own specific skills and to their employers who may be directly contributing to the program costs and expect an immediate return.Third, the CSULB MSEM is a partnership among three vibrant colleges. The sharing of academic and administrative roles provides for insights not bound from a single perspective. Working together, curriculum evaluation can be focused on building the strength of the program to offer the most current thinking on all the subjects.Fourth, the CSULB MSEM program has the only program-specific advisory board. While other engineering colleges (including CSULB’s College of Engineering) have advisory boards, they serve all degrees and programs. The MSEM Advisory Board has already met twice and is enthusiastic about the program and its approach to providing business administration knowhow spread across four topic areas that they agreed were essential for success as future managers. They also embraced the concept of engineering specializations as being attractive from an employer point of view. Their involvement will be ongoing and regular and include curriculum review, student interaction and program promotion. Fifth, the CSULB MSEM has done very recent research on the national, regional and local need and demand for such a program. Utilizing the services of the Education Advisory Board and Burning Glass Technologies (all within the last two years), commissioned reports made it evident that the MSEM market is not even close to being saturated and that there are plenty of career opportunities waiting program graduates either within their current firms or elsewhere. Those reports provided important input into the planning process and insured this program was designed to be relevant and meet the needs of both industry and the potential students. In addition, the comprehensive survey sent to working engineers clearly indicated strong interest from the respondents. It is documented and noted before that the growing demand for this specific graduate degree is not being met by current programs. All these differences are intended to put the student at the center of this graduate experience. The delivery format, the curriculum, the administrative resources, the external advice, the recent need and demand analysis all work together to insure that from the student perspective, the MSEM is smooth running and completely relevant for the engineer manager they are striving to become. List of other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to the proposed program. Presently, the College of Business Administration has a unique degree with the College of the Arts, an MBA/MFA in Theatre Management that has proven to be quite successful. The students complete the coursework required for both programs in a manner where they combine business administration courses and theatre courses each term over the length of their studies. The working relationship between these two colleges has been very cordial with COTA students thriving in the MBA classes. The faculty interaction has been likewise productive as CBA faculty serve on the theses committees of the MBA/MFA students. The CBA looks forward to working with the COE on the administration and implementation of this new program. The program will be offered in an online format. This will help CSULB fulfill its mission which specifically refers to the University’s image as a “globally-engaged public university” for “people of California and the world” that is “preparing leaders for a changing world.” The MSEM will fully support and enhance the CSULB brand as a “highly valued degree” with widespread visibility as a model for innovative educational munity participation, if any, in the planning process. This may include prospective employers of graduates. An Industry Advisory Board has been established to provide guidance and assistance in defining and implementing program goals, evaluating programs and students success, strengthening our strategic industry and professional association partnership. The Advisory Board has been involved in reviewing the proposal.Additionally, an online questionnaire was developed and distributed to major regional employers. A total of 238 respondents have completed the questionnaire, with 63% responding very interested and another 27% somewhat interested. Applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data.

Types of evidence vary and may include national, statewide, and professional employment forecasts and surveys; petitions; lists of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges; reports from community college transfer centers; and enrollments from feeder baccalaureate programs, for example. In this section we provide specific and compelling evidence of student interest in the proposed program by first reporting the highly-encouraging results of a survey conducted to gauge interest in our program. We then provide a more holistic view of student demand by presenting evidence from the following perspectives: 1) results from a large-scale survey; 2) salary attractiveness; 3) competition from other graduate programs. Multiple data sources are cited, including national, regional, local and statewide data, as well as data generated by professional organizations and associations in the field.Survey ResultsTo demonstrate potential demand for the proposed MSEM program, an online questionnaire was developed. After extensive pre-testing, the link to the survey instrument was distributed via professional contacts at major regional employers, recent graduates and senior engineering students. A total of 238 respondents completed the questionnaire and provide a strong case for the demand for such a program.Following a brief description of the proposed degree and its online nature, the survey began by asking the respondents their “initial reaction to such a program”. 63% responded very interested and another 27% somewhat interested. This very high level of interest is critical because the subsequent questions only included those with those two responses to the first question. Thus the confidence in the survey’s remaining questions is quite high as it includes 90% of the original respondents.The next important question centered on interest in a specific engineering concentration (matching our proposed degree specializations) or general management. The results were split fairly evenly (42% favored a specific concentration; 58% favored general engineering management).The most crucial question of the survey followed where specific details about the duration and the cost of the program were clearly stated. The question used the “how likely would you be to apply” scale that started at 0% and increased in 10% increments to 100%. With realistic figures for the resources needed to complete the program, 41% of the respondents indicated they were 70% or higher likely to apply and then enroll in the proposed MSEM. This is strong evidence that there is solid demand for the MSEM.The survey then asked when those with a 50% or higher likelihood of applying thought they would be applying. 68% of those respondents felt within one year and a third of those indicated they would apply right away. The survey demonstrates two important factors about this respondent base. First, they are very forward thinking and they see the value of having management skills to complement their engineering talents. Second, they are realistic about the time and cost commitments necessary to achieve such a degree and willing to make the sacrifices of their time and financial resources to achieve a long term personal goal.Promising Job OutlookAn analysis of possible employment opportunities was done using a search tool called Burning Glass. Burning Glass’s proprietary tool called Labor/Insight TM gives information about employer demand for specific educational requirements, job titles, and competencies over time and by geography. A fuller description of the tool is available at examined career postings for engineering managers. The data is presented from a national, statewide and Southern California perspective (though the proposed program could attract students from anywhere, the stated experience of other online MSEM programs is that their students mostly come from the local area). The numbers reported in the bar charts below are numbers of job postings found using the specified criteria.Scenario #1 below is a full year (2014) nationwide snapshot of the number of job postings with “engineering manager’ in the job title, and a graduate or professional degree required, and business skills required, and at least one skill from the following: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science (our ‘specific’ course areas) (but not ‘Analyst’).

The salaries are very attractive and do not include the benefit packages that usually supplement these managerial positions.? For example, 89% of the firms in Los Angeles County that employ engineering managers provide medical and dental petition from Other Graduate ProgramsThe analysis of competitive programs revealed that there is a need in the marketplace for an online MSEM as proposed.Within the CSU there are not any comparable programs. Though there are other MSEM programs at nine campuses, only four have an online component. Two of those do not involve an engineering college (Dominguez Hills and the Maritime Academy) and the other two are in Northern California and blend on-campus with online education (San Jose and Monterey Bay).There are four California private and UC schools offering an online MSEM (or an equivalent). UCLA is the public university; the three private universities are National University, USC and Stanford. Nationally, as of 2013, there were 37 additional online MSEM programs. These ranged from the most recognized engineering colleges (Duke, MIT, Purdue, Stanford) to more regional institutions (Kettering, Robert Morris, Worcester Polytechnic Institute). One important note is that our proposed program is clearly the right mix of a 30-unit program that costs about $30,000.Online Master of Science Degree Programs in Engineering Management InstitutionDegree TitleStateRequired Credit HoursModalityTerm ScheduleProgram Length YearsTotal Tuition CostArizona State UniversityM.

As such, policies and procedures advancing access to the University are in place across the campus and will be employed in the proposed MSEM program. Included in such an environment committed to diversity and accessibility is the affordability of university programs and student financial aid opportunities. For master’s degree proposals, cite the number of declared undergraduate majors and the degree production over the preceding three years for the corresponding baccalaureate program, if there is one.The primary target audience for the MSEM program will be individuals with a baccalaureate degree in engineering. Though the program will be online and may well attract a large number of international students, the following table shows the number of engineering degrees awarded in the US for the previous three years.*YearNumber of Undergraduate Engineering Degrees% Growth from Prior Year201393,3606%201288,1766%201188,0115.6%Table 6.3*(Brian L.

These individuals could expect to do any or all of the following types of work depending on the size and capabilities of the firms where they are employed:Development of new products and services.Management of teams involved in development projects.Verification of the technical accuracy and rigor of methodologies used.Proposing, securing approval and managing technical project budgets.Coordinating technical project schedules.Determination of staffing needs as projects progress in order to balance workloads and staffing requirements.Providing appropriate feedback to upper management as to the realistic progress of all assignments.Instituting organizational-specific personnel feedback for assessment of all tasks completed by professionals supervised.These engineering managers will use their engineering skills combined with management techniques to provide technically-appropriate oversight in a variety of project-centric assignments. From initial planning to post-project assessment, they will be involved in each phase of turning an idea into an operating system. They will spend most of their time ensuring that others are doing their work in a competent, professional manner while allowing those individuals the opportunity to learn, plan and even make mistakes. These engineering managers will not only get projects accomplished, they will build confidence in others to become the managers of the future.Specify the expected number of majors in the year of initiation and three years and five years thereafter. Specify the expected number of graduates in the year of initiation, and three years and five years thereafter.The MSEM is intended for engineers who need to develop their management, engineering, and problem solving skills as applied to the technical, financial, and organizational requirements of engineering projects. It is anticipated that students will come from the following engineering disciplines: Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Construction Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial/Operations Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and other emerging disciplines such as nanotechnology. It is also possible that there would be interest from professional architects in the MSEM. Their work involves projects of various sizes that definitely demand managerial talent. They certainly have the creative skills necessary and their training is rigorous enough to be able to do the coursework. However, the survey did not include any architects. This comment is only to recognize the employment category and statistics presented in section 6(a) above.Anticipated enrollment and graduates across time:Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5Year 6Year 7Expected Students25303540404040Expected Graduates 0253035384040Table 6.6Students will take 2 classes each term including the summer between the first and secondyear for a total of five terms.

Furthermore, the library has extensive borrowing options for books, journal and conference papers to support the program.The University Library has access to many databases that would support the MSEM program. These include the following:ABI Inform CompleteBusiness Source PremierEconLitIEEE XploreCompendexScience DirectAcademic Search CompleteACM Digital LibraryEBSCO EjournalsJournal Citation ReportsJSTORLibrary Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA)Web of ScienceThe library supports a number of statistical databases and links to datasets from government (e.g., BLS) and commercial sources. Describe available academic technology, equipment, and other specialized materials.Existing Academic TechnologyFull support to staff and students in the use of technology is provided by CCPE’s?Technology Enhanced Learning Center and CSULB’s Office of Academic Technology (ACT). These offices enhance student access, success and high quality teaching.? Academic Technology Services provided include the following: Help services Desktop support and system administration services Web and application development servicesServer hosting and server management services Classroom support servicesInstructional technology and multimedia services Technology coordination, project planning and management services Academic Technology to Enhance Learning and DiscoveryInstructional Technology Support Services (ITSS)CSU System-wide Academic Technology ServicesMicrosoft Office document compatibility problems Campus Computer Labs Spidell Technology Center, located in the Library (187 PC computers, 10 Macintosh computers)Horn Center, located on lower campus (139 PC computes and 52 Macintosh computers)CCPE ResourcesCCPE is a pioneer in offering online programs and an early adopter of “virtual classroom” synchronous course delivery technology. It has the most technologically sophisticated support structures among continuing education institutions in California.? A group of five Information Technology (IT) experts maintains a network of about 30 servers and over 100 workstations. A Microsoft centered software infrastructure includes full implementation of an Exchange server, and collaboration is supported internally and externally via the SharePoint platform.To provide full and effective learning experience, the CCPE’s?Technology Enhanced Learning Center uses “BeachBoard,” branded implementation of Desire2Learn, the?Elluminate virtual classroom and several other key online learning tools.? Over one hundred synchronous and asynchronous course sections are generally underway at any time.? The CCPE uses Plexus Spectrum, which is the comprehensive student and faculty course management system.? It acts as a content management system for the?CCPE website and assists production of?CCPE’s traditional print publications.The in-house Marketing division creates?CCPE’s catalogs and other marketing materials.? Four graphic designers contribute to development of multimedia and many other elements of online PE’s?Advanced Media Production (AMP) Center has full resources to create documentaries, marketing videos, community service programs and a variety of other broadcast quality video products.? Additional Support Resources RequiredNote: If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the program, a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the proposal assuring that such resources will be provided.Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the proposed program. The College of Engineering has ample qualified faculty to offer this program. There are enough faculty in Civil Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Computer Engineering to serve a cohort of Master’s students. These instructors are available on an overload basis to provide faculty for a self-support program. For instance, the expressed willingness of faculty to teach courses as “overload” provides the flexibility and availability of instructors to sufficiently staff the program’s courses. The College of Business Administration also has qualified facility to teach the four courses in Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing. These courses have been developed and offered in a hybrid format with the assumption they would eventually be available in an online exclusive format.As for staff support, the Graduate Programs Coordinator in the College of Engineering currently supports its state-side and self-support programs. CCPE will have a dedicated professional staff, a Program Manager and a program coordinator to provide program management and administrative support. The COE will be able to support the new program through the existing staff, the graduate program coordinator and associate dean for research. The CBA will also be able to offer support due to a dedicated staff position already in place which supports all CBA MS programs. Classes and instructors will be determined between CBA and COE. Admission decisions will be determined by the COE.Describe the amount of additional lecture and/or laboratory space required to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years. Indicate any additional special facilities that will be required. If the space is under construction, what is the projected occupancy date? If the space is planned, indicate campus-wide priority of the facility, capital outlay program priority, and projected date of occupancy.The proposed MS program will be an online program and thus will not require additional space. If there were occasional on-campus meetings, they would be Fridays evenings and Saturdays when there are ample CCPE facilities available. Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU library system. Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these additional resources. Current library resources for the proposed program are sufficient. However, to maintain the quality of library resources, the college (with proceeds from the new program) could provide an annual library budget augmentation when new programs are instituted to enable the library to acquire highly recommended books requested by the program.Indicate additional academic technology, equipment, or specialized materials that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the first two years after initiation. Indicate the source of funds and priority to secure these resource needs.The development of the online courses is a cost being provided by the CCPE. In fact, the four CBA courses have already been developed. As additional costs for technology and software occur, these will be paid for by program revenue. Therefore, there will be no additional cost to the students other than the total program fee. Self-Support ProgramsThe MS in Engineering Management Program (MSEM) is essentially a retooling/reactivation of an online self-support program that previously existed as a collaborative self-support venture between California State University, Long Beach and California State University, Dominguez-Hills. That program operated without state support from Fall 2004 through Spring 2009.The proposed MSEM program will also be fully online and self-support, offered through CSULB’s College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE). CCPE is one of the most successful and diverse continuing education units in the state of California. CCPE partners with its seven sister colleges to offer academic programs that include eleven Master’s degrees, two Bachelor’s degree completion programs, Summer, May, and Winter sessions, Open University and Study Abroad. CCPE is therefore very well versed in the provision of academic programs and in developing collaborative partnerships with other Colleges on campus. The proposed MSEM Program will leverage CCPE facilities and resources. CCPE is uniquely capable of providing the technical and other support that will help make the?MSEM Program successful. The College was a pioneer in offering online courses and programs, originally relying on a learning management system developed in-house. CCPE was also an early adopter of “virtual classroom” synchronous course delivery technology. CCPE enjoys one of the most technologically sophisticated support structures among continuing education units in California.?Its Technology Enhanced Learning Center (TELC) has state of the art equipment and software able to provide the media creation support that is necessary for sophisticated online course development. Faculty members are encouraged to come to the studio to create content, but TELC is also equipped to go out into the field. CCPE’s?Technology Enhanced Learning Center relies on the “BeachBoard” -branded implementation of Desire2Learn.? The?Blackboard Collaborate virtual classroom is integrated into?“BeachBoard” along with several other key online learning tools to provide a complete learning experience.? Over one hundred synchronous and asynchronous course sections are generally underway at any time.? TELC provides technical help desk support for students as well as training on specific programs within their online course environment. CCPE trains students in the effective use of digital technology early in their study so they will be comfortable in the online learning PE’s Information Technology group maintains a network of more than twenty-five servers and well over one hundred workstations. A Microsoft -centered software infrastructure includes full implementation of Exchange server, while additional collaboration is supported internally and externally via the SharePoint platform. Plexus Spectrum (formerly Continuity 2000) is the comprehensive course, student and faculty management system utilized by CCPE.? Spectrum also acts as a content management system for the?CCPE website along with a homegrown CMS that provides additional online content and assists production of?CCPE’s traditional print publications.The in-house Marketing and Communications group?develops all of CCPE’s websites and other marketing materials.?Their team of graphic artists also contributes to development of multimedia elements of online and other technology-enhanced PE’s?Advanced Media Production (AMP) Center utilizes a 2,200 square foot studio and separate distance-learning classroom to create documentaries, marketing videos, community service programs and a variety of other broadcast-quality video products.? AMP also manages?CCPE’s and the university’s satellite, cable,?FIOS and Educational Broadband Service (EBS) microwave distribution systems.The interdisciplinary nature of the MSEM program’s curriculum, which is the program’s greatest value, relies on the talents of faculty from several departments. Staffing the program’s courses require the ability to offer teaching assignments for “overload pay” because qualified instructors are fully committed to their own departments’ curricula. Self-support financing is therefore essential to obtaining regular and firm teaching commitments without diverting faculty talents from stateside programs. Finally, the online nature of the program makes it possible to serve working professionals who seek advanced training to enhance their career prospects without jeopardizing their existing employment and career progress. The proposed program will therefore offer a great opportunity for those professionals who need to pursue their graduate program in an online environment. This will greatly assist in resolving work and class schedule conflicts that would otherwise have been the PE is highly competitive and very responsive to the needs of students. The comprehensive resources of CSULB give the college and its students an enormous advantage. CCPE is entirely self-supporting and the revenue it generates provides invaluable support for the university’s mission and funds the development of new programs, such as the MSEM Program, that keep pace with the rapidly evolving workplace. In summary, it is essential that MSEM operate as a self-support program. Doing so will allow the program to accommodate the schedules of fully-employed professionals, ensure the availability of a high quality and state of the art online learning experience and environment, software, and equipment, to meet the professional development needs of students seeking career enrichment, and to ensure the availability of a highly-qualified and interdisciplinary faculty.Confirm that the proposed program will not be offered at places or times likely to supplant or limit existing state-support programs.There is no stateside counterpart of this program so the proposed program will not supplant or limit any stateside program. All classes will be offered online. Further, as indicated above, technical and other online support will be provided by CCPE. Explain how the state-support funding is either unavailable or inappropriate.Operating the MSEM program as a stateside program would require, at a minimum, several faculty across a variety of disciplines, stateside funding for a program director and support staff, as well as stateside funding for specialized software, scheduling of classrooms during periods in which stateside facilities are available, and securing classrooms within time slots that can accommodate the working need of the students. Stateside funds and facilities to support those requirements are simply unavailable.Explain how the program is different, in one or more of the following ways, from state-supported campus offerings operating on campusPrimarily designed for career enrichment or retrainingThe MSEM program is designed to enrich the careers of working professionals in the field of Engineering Management, logistics, and related fields, by equipping them with the advanced skills and industry knowledge required for career advancement. In contrast to state-supported campus offerings, classes are fully online and will be scheduled around students’ work schedules so they can advance their careers without jeopardizing their existing employment and career progress. Furthermore, the program’s learning objectives emphasize skills and knowledge demanded by employers. While having academic foundations, those professionally oriented objectives differ from those of state-supported programs with objectives that are predominately academic. Program location is significantly removed from state-supported campus facilitiesThe program client group receives educational or other services at a cost beyond what could be reasonably provided under state support.The MSEM program necessarily entails costs that would be difficult or impossible to cover if run as a state-support program. Essential program elements generating those costs include:Year round online course conversion and support for faculty and students.For self-support programs, please provide information on the per-unit cost to students and the total cost to complete the program (in addition to the required cost recovery budget elements listed earlier in this document.right-434213000The estimated cost to students is $1,000 per unit. For the 30-unit MSEM program, this implies a baseline cost of $30,000.

(ASEE)ATTACHMENT AStatements of Support from College Deans:ATTACHMENT BUniversity Library and Learning Resources ReportLibrary ServicesThe Library in GeneralThe CSULB University has more than one million volumes, more than one million microforms, and extensive collections of other non-print materials, including a media collection that contains DVDs, CDs as well as older formats such as LPs, VHS, cassette tapes, and slides along with appropriate viewing and listening equipment. The library subscribes to close to 200 electronic databases that provide access to millions of full text articles across a multitude of disciplines.The CSULB University Library is open more than any other library in the CSU system. The library schedule during regular session is as follows:Monday – Thursday: 6:45 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.Friday: 6:45 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.Sunday: 12:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.For the week before and the week of finals, the library opens its doors for 24 hour service and provides free coffee after midnight while supplies last.Reference ServicesThe Spidell Technology Center, where Reference services are located, is the place to get started with research. There are approximately 200 computers that are fully internet capable and offer access to the entirety of research services the library provides, as well as Microsoft products, many other specialized software programs, MACs, color printing, and scanners. There is a large Reference book collection with many encyclopedias, dictionaries, and bibliographies and indexes. Subject specialist librarians are available to explain and interpret these materials and are available for consultation at the following hours:Monday – Thursday: 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.Friday: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.Sunday: 12:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.Library InstructionTo foster Information Competence on the CSULB Campus, the subject librarians offer approximately 600 individual information literacy sessions each academic year. During these sessions, an introduction and demonstration of the online Library Catalog (COAST), the research databases for journal article searching, proper citing of information sources, as well as critical thinking and evaluation skills for utilizing information. In addition to the scheduled instruction sessions, the College of engineering and College of Business Librarians are also available for one-on-one consultations with faculty and students on an as-needed basis.Interlibrary Loan Services (ILS)The realities of smaller budgets, burgeoning amounts of available information, and the increasing demands of faculty and student research have made access to other library collections in the region, state, and nation increasingly important. The Library’s Interlibrary Loan services are an unparalleled set of services that meet these needs. Easy online request interfaces and prompt fulfillment of requests to thousands by participating libraries allows for seamless access to thousands of materials the Library unfortunately cannot purchase. Interlibrary Services offers two options to obtain materials not currently available (i.e. checked out, temporarily unavailable, we don't own it, etc.) at CSULB:? BeachReach and LINK+ (each are described in detail below). These services are available to?all current CSULB students, faculty, and staff only.LINK+Link+ is a consortium that allows for a single search to be broadcast to more than fifty regional libraries. This service is for books and selected media only and the delivery time is within 2-4 working days. The service is available to CSULB students and faculty via COAST, thereby allowing requests to be made from any computer anywhere in the world.BeachReachBeachReach allows you to request any kind of material.? Try Link+ first for book requests as it has a faster service time for books.Articles, book chapters, conference proceedings, dissertations and books can be borrowed through BeachReach. Average delivery time for articles and book chapters is 2-5 business days. Average delivery time for books and media materials varies depending on availability and how far the item has to travel.? It can range from a few days up to two weeks. You will receive an email notification when your requests are electronically delivered to your BeachReach Account or are ready for pick up. Books and media that cannot be delivered to you electronically can be picked up at the Circulation Desk (1st floor). The Library Web PageThe Library’s web page, located at offers one-stop shopping for easily accessible information and research. Services available off the Library’s main page include:A current list of the Library’s hoursAccess to COAST, the Library’s catalogAccess to the Library’s research databasesLibrarian listings by name or by subject area that includes their phone numbers, office locations, office hours, and email addressesRequest forms for instruction sessions, consultations with a Librarian, and Interlibrary Services The Library’s 24/7 chat with a Librarian online serviceThe Librarians have created in-depth research guides utilizing state of the art web 2.0 tools. Areas of interest on these pages include:Detailed information on searching for books/media information on a business topic.Detailed information on searching for article information on a business topic.Contact information for the Business Librarian and the Economics Librarian including links to email and a form to schedule an appointment with a rmation on doing research off campus.General Library Information for ease of use.Library CollectionsPhilosophyDevelopment and maintenance of a strong, well-used and curriculum-centered collection is a joint faculty/Library venture. The faculty members in the departments work closely with the subject specialist librarians, recommending new materials to be added to the collection and helping to evaluate new and existing publications. The Library relies on and values this participation and attempts to maintain continuous communication with the department on other matters as well, such as addressing any concern’s faculty may have regarding any aspect of the library’s collections or services.DescriptionThe Library utilizes the Library of Congress classification scheme for the organization of its materials thereby approximating the academic departments. It is hard to narrow down the library materials on this subject since it is a subject that encompasses many different areas. The areas that more specifically relate to supply chain management, but are not necessarily limited to them, can be found in the following classification stems of this scheme:HC, HD and HF TE and TS Like other academic libraries nationwide, CSULB has seen a decline in resources available for library materials at a time when inflation and publisher price increases have driven up subscription prices. This makes maintaining the current collection difficult and subscribing to new titles challenging. The Library currently subscribes to more than 200 electronic databases, which are the primary research tool for finding journal, magazine and newspaper articles. There are several of these databases that are used specifically for research in global supply chain management. The Library subscribes to ABI Inform Complete, Business Source Premier, EconLit, IEEE Xplore, Compendex and Science Direct which would cover business and economics related material as well as more technical material.BudgetWhile the library’s core collection is robust it must also be noted that the Library is not able to augment the allocated funds for additional books and journal subscriptions for this program. In other words, while the library has been able to retain access to a healthy selection of expensive electronic databases available funds for books have been reduced drastically; and at this time the available amount does not meet the full book needs for the college as currently constituted. Needless to say the creation of a new program will strain that budget even further. One solution is for colleges to provide an annual library budget augmentation, when new programs are instituted to enable the library to acquire highly recommended books requested by the program.ATTACHMENT CResumes of Potential Instructors ................
