  11. Organizational Overview: EMCI • Body of Knowledge Textbook • English hardcopy • New • Chinese hardcopy • English eBook • Spanish eBook • All editions being revised/published as Second Editions in 2009

  12. Organizational Overview: EMCI • Examinations • English online • New • English and Chinese paper-based • Spanish online • Pilot Exam Programs • Prospective AKPs • Prospective Corporate Customers • Product Repositioning

  13. Organizational Overview: ASEM • Founded in 1979 at the University of Missouri-Rolla* by a group of 20 visionary engineering managers in industry, education, and government • Serves to speak for the engineering management profession in the US • Addresses management issues unique to engineering-, science-, and technology-focused companies across disciplines in an increasingly interdependent society www.asem.org * Now the Missouri University of Science and Technology

  14. Organizational Overview: ASEM • Advocates for industry and education cooperation to promote best practices in engineering management through research, professional development, and conferences among students, faculty, industry, and government. • Engineering Management Journal • 20 years, published quarterly • Providing practical, pertinent knowledge on the management of technology, technical professionals, and technical organizations • 30th Annual Conference in Springfield, Missouri October 14-17, 2009 • Promotes best standards practices in the engineering management field through departmental accreditation in related disciplines • Seeks partnerships with organizations such as EMCI to provide value to its members

  15. EMCI-ASEM Collaboration Process • EMCI approached ASEM in Fall ‘05 • MS&T facilitated contact with ASEM Board in Fall ‘06 • EMCI attended ASEM Board Meeting in March ‘07 • Motion approved to explore collaborative partnering • EMCF Pilot established in September ’07 • Exchange of ASEM and EMCI BOKs for evaluation in January ’08 • EMCI attended ASEM Board Meeting in March ’08 • ASEM and EMCI finalized partnership in May ’08 • Network of ASEM-certified Engineering Management Departments • Corporate members and sponsors • Subject matter expertise for BOK, Exam, and Curriculum Advisory Committees

  16. EMCI-ASEM Collaboration Challenges • Multi-Organizational Cultures • EMCI = Multisociety • ASEM = Multidepartmental • Clash of the Titans (Experts) • Academia vs. Industry • Balancing and Managing Expectations • Harmonizing academia- and industry-based needs • Addressing these needs around a unified BOK

  17. ASEM No EM on FE for BSEMs Opportunity for BSEM graduates and departments EMCI EMCF ≠ Young EMsw/<3 yrs work exp Opportunity to bring young EMs into certification Collaboration Impetus: Reposition EMCF

  18. Collaboration Impetus: Reposition EMCF • EMCF Pilot Initiated in AY2007-2008 • Three ABET-accredited BSEM departments • Missouri University of Science and Technology * • University of Arizona • United States Military Academy • Exams administered through May 2008

  19. Collaboration Impetus: Reposition EMCF • Pilot Results • Each participating department received discreet and overall results • Data showed sufficient correlation between academic program knowledge and real-world entry-level expectations • EMCI Examination Committee recommended full repositioning of EMCF

  20. Collaboration Impetus: Reposition EMCF • Formal Repositioning of EMCF • Approved by ASEM Board in November 2008 • Sets forth new eligibility criteria • BSEMs • Master’s • Special ASEM exam fee • ASEM Departments as AKPs • ASEM Incentive: 20% of EMCI Examination Fee

  21. Toward a More Perfect BOK • EMCI and ASEM developed BOKs in parallel • EMCI Industry-focused, less academic emphasis • ASEM Academia-focused, less industry emphasis • BOK Unification = Opportunity for Synergy • EMCI needs ASEM’s subject matter expertise • ASEM needs EMCI’s infrastructure and reach

  22. Toward a More Perfect BOK • Blending of the BOKs: BOK Update • ASEM and EMCI set up an MOU • Shared each other’s BOKs • Distributed among EMCI BOK Committee • ASEM Board Members join EMCI BOK Committee • SME approaches EMCI to merge its CEM • CEM BOK author becomes member of EMCI BOK Committee • CEM BOK shared among BOK Committee Members

  23. Toward a More Perfect BOK • EMCI, ASEM, and CEM BOKs Merge • EMCI BOK Committee Meeting in January 2008 • All founding societies, ASEM, and SME represented • Elements of ASEM and CEM BOKs incorporated into EMCI domains • “Champions” assigned by domain to beef up content and references

  24. Toward a More Perfect BOK • EMCI, ASEM, and CEM BOKs Merge • Meeting of the Minds: February 19, 2009BOK and Exam Committees Meet Jointly • BOK Committee agrees on revised BOK • Exam Committee employs revised BOK to craft exam questions • Revised/new/deleted content • EMCF Repositioning • Curriculum Advisory Committee begins work on creating a “baseline curriculum” template • Complements BOK in framing course development for AKPs • Strengthens the certification standard and brand
