B. Program Course Requirements The Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain for High Tech program is structured with 15 semester units of required course work 5 courses at 3 units each. The courses must be taken in the order indicated. 1. MSE600 Decision Tools for Engineering Managers (3). 2. MSE402 Engineering Project Management (3) 3. MSE606A Production & Operations Management for Engineers (3) 4. MSE617 Seminar in Quality Management for Engineers (3) 5. MSE610 Engineering Supply Chain Systems (3) C. Certificate Program Completion Requirements Criteria for the awarding of the Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain for High Tech are: 1. Complete the 15 units of program course requirements with a minimum program GPA of 3.0; 2. Earn no grade lower than a B C in any individual course. 3. Satisfactorily complete all program course requirements within 3 years of program admission; and 4. Submit application for the award of the Certificate to the Department Graduate Coordinator. Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain for High Tech The Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain for High Tech program is designed for Post Baccalaureate individuals seeking professional development in Production and Supply Chain systems. Certified individuals will have knowledge of fundamental principles of technology management, decision and risk analysis, corporate innovation, production and operations management and supply chain, a field in high demand around the globe. The certificate program is designed to help you lead management decisions in companies. Courses focus on some of challenges for engineering firms face today and provide a solid foundation for creating new wealth and prosperity within a new or existing

4 business. Faculty members with both academic credentials and years of relevant business experience in industry will help you build the skills, tools and techniques you need to find solutions in production, operations for engineering environments and for supply chain management. This applied program is offered in a highly interactive online format that makes it possible for you to immediately apply what you learn. 8. Justification of Request The new Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain in High Tech has been developed by the MSEM EM Task Force. The certificate has been developed in response to a need on the market to hire people in high tech organizations who have knowledge of the production and supply chain management. The program is to be one for mid career working professionals. It is hard to develop leaders in any industry especially in the IT or technology sector as most managers who come with an engineering background do not have sufficient managerial experience to manage and oversee today s high tech companies. Preparing engineers for understanding the concepts, principles and methods of decision and risk analysis in the context of production supply chain systems is vital. 9. Estimate of Impact on Resources within the Department, for other Departments and for the University This Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain for High Tech for engineers will be housed within the MSEM Department. Only students enrolled in the Engineering Management Program will be allowed to enroll in this certificate, normally as part of a cohort taking courses online in a prescribed order through Tseng College. The program will be supported by a special fee structure that is higher than fees for current graduate programs. Ongoing program costs will be covered by fees and marginal costs. The cohort program is a very efficient program, since candidates will move through a prescribed program with their cohort of approximately 20 persons. There are no electives. The courses in the certificate will also be available for regular Engineering Management students, thus will use the same faculty and administrative and support staff, as well as library and computer facilities already available. 10. Student Learning Outcomes A. Student Learning Outcomes for the proposed program Proposed SLOs of the Graduate Certificate in Production & Supply Chain for High Tech: Upon successful completion of this program, graduates will be able to: a. apply decision and risk management tools for engineers b. understand and implement management of high tech companies c. apply knowledge of production and operations management in engineering firms d. understand the concepts, and methods of quality management e. Understand and apply the supply chain systems methods 11. Methods of Assessment for Measurable Learning Outcomes A. Assessment Tools

5 The program will use the assessment methods used by the Engineering Master Program. The program will use the Student Learning Outcomes as standards for the assessment of the certificate candidates. Other indicators, such as students course grades, program GPA, and self assessments will also be used to measure the certificate participants progress toward the standards. These measures of student knowledge and skills will provide the foundation of the program assessment. Assessment data on the certificate candidates will be collected at several program transition points, as required by 1) Admission, 2) Program Completion. B. Procedures to Insure Faculty Involvement Participation in the assessment of the certificate participants will be a requirement for serving as a faculty member in the Graduate Certificate in Production and Supply Chain for High Tech program. Rubrics used by the MSEM Department for the assessment of the MSE undergraduate programs for ABET Accreditation were developed for some key assessment points, and faculty will undergo training in the application of the rubrics to ensure inter rater reliability. Assessment data on the Certificate participants will be collected on a regular basis by the EM Program Director and compiled in electronic form on program databases for easy reference. The same methods of assessment for this course, which is a graduate course, will be used as for the ABET accreditation assessment for the undergraduate program in the MSEM Department.
