SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Guidelines and Schedule of Activities for Completing ENGM 690 – Engineering Management Project In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Master of Engineering Management Revised April 2011 GUIDELINES AND SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES FOR ENGM 690 – ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PROJECT Introduction In accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Graduate Engineering Catalog, the ENGM 690 Engineering Management Project (EMP) will normally be taken in the last semester of the student’s academic program. Before graduating and receiving the Master of Engineering Management Degree from Christian Brothers University, the student must first pass ENGM 690. Consequently, early in the program ENGM 690 should be identified and discussed with the Program Advisor to ensure successful completion of the course and graduation from the program. The following are guidelines for completion of the EMP. Concept and Philosophy The EMP provides an opportunity for the student to apply the newly acquired skills from the Master of Engineering Management Program. The EMP replaces the traditional master’s design project or thesis. In many cases, the student’s employer grants financial support and provides an existing work environment for the Final Project. Consequently, it may be appropriate that the project be jointly administered by an “Executive Sponsor” (highest ranking manager associated with the project) of the student’s company or activity and the Course Advisor. Each student must submit an EMP proposal, which must be approved by the executive sponsor, identifying the nature of the management problem to be solved with predicted consequences. Objective of the Project The objective of the EMP is to solve an existing engineering management problem in the student’s company or activity. The problem should be of such complexity that the solution requires application of principles learned in two or more of the courses studied while in the program. Project Schedule and Time Lines It is essential that the student submit a draft of the proposed project to the course instructor at least one month prior to registration for ENGM 690. After approval by the Course Advisor, the proposal is then presented to the student’s Executive Sponsor for final approval. The proposal is then submitted to the Course Advisor prior to registration in ENGM 690. It must have a cover sheet bearing certification from the executive sponsor that the problem is authentic, and its solution will be considered among the various problem solutions evaluated by management. All these steps must be accomplished prior to the final day of registration ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PROJECT PAGE 2 for the semester. Otherwise, the engineering management project will not be completed in time to assure graduation. The format in Table 1 should be used to submit the project proposal: TABLE 1 – PROJECT PROPOSAL OUTLINE I. Introduction (State the purpose of the proposed project.) II. Problem (What is the justification for this project?) III. Objectives (How will this project contribute to solving the stated problem?) IV. Product (What will be the delivered outcome and what will it do for the firm?) V. Methodology (How will you do the work?) VI. Resources, Time (Will you be able to deliver the product? On time? VII. Coordination with other departments (How will you interact with other organizational elements?) VIII. Costs or budgets (What are the expected costs for implementation?) IX. Gantt Chart or Network Diagram of activities, times, and completion date Upon completion of the project, a written report will be submitted, accompanied by an oral presentation. The Executive Sponsor of the student’s company or activity and the Course Advisor will jointly evaluate the quality of the work, but the final grade will be assigned by the Course Advisor. Progress Reports The student will be required to give at least two interim progress reports during the semester. It may be appropriate to give one or more progress reports to the Executive Sponsor and others that may have been involved in the project. The Project Advisor will be willing to attend these briefings. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PROJECT PAGE 3 Persuasive Elements in Progress Reports In making oral or written progress reports, the student should be straightforward about problems encountered in the project. This will facilitate feedback to assist in the ongoing project. Because the progress report is a very persuasive element, some students may be lured into using inflated or overly optimistic tones. This can, and often does, result in an unprofessional or unbusinesslike report. Progress Report Outline An outline of the Progress Report should be provided to all attendees. The report will cover, as a minimum, the following information: TABLE 2 – PROGRESS REPORT OUTLINE I. Introduction (What work and time does the report cover? Why was the project undertaken?) II. Related Facts and Background (These are facts bearing on the problem. Is the work progressing as planned? What are the current results of the project? What progress is anticipated or expected until the next report or the final report?) III. Conclusions (What are your current findings overall?) IV. Recommendations What do you think should be done?) Oral Presentation The oral presentation of the final report must be scheduled well in advance of the due date of the written report. An outline is suggested in Table 3 for the oral presentation. This is one possible outline for a presentation to managers or other groups. It is designed to cover key information from a project in a logical sequence. You can follow this outline exactly or modify it to fit your needs. It is suggested that you discuss each of the items listed. These presentations should take about thirty minutes. They should be self-contained; covering the context, purpose, key activities, and results of the project in a way that is understandable to anyone unfamiliar with the project. The student must remember for such presentations, potential audiences include other employees, the board of directors, customers, and suppliers.

Acknowledgements Writing the Project Report There are generally four classifications of reports: letter, informal and formal, technical paper, and oral presentation. The differences in the format are subjective in many cases and may be a matter of style and organization rather than content. It is the intent of these guidelines to clarify what is expected of the student when submitting the written text and giving the oral presentation associated with ENGM 690. Audience Considerations Since the project calls for technical reports, oral and written, the following observations are offered. First, assume that there are two different audiences for each report. There is the technical audience that understands and is very interested in technical details, calculations and analysis. Second, there is the management audience who is interested in the alternatives, recommendations and costs. The management audience depends on the technical group to check the validity of the technical details. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PROJECT PAGE 5 Organization of the Report These guidelines for writing a technical report have been adopted to simplify the process for the students. There is no intention of restricting or dictating to the student a method for writing a technical report; however, there is evidence that such guidelines serve a useful purpose. Still, there is no objection to the student using a format established or adopted by the company where employed. Elements of the Report The essential elements of any report are purpose, scope of work (work statement), background data and information, problem statements, alternative solutions, and recommendations. Term papers and technical reports differ in many ways, and the reader may be especially different. There are differences in plans of organization, approaches to the topic, methods of citation, and methods and approaches to solving the problem. Any report is a drill in logical discourse. Therefore, it follows that the elements of a report should be organized in a logical sequence. The following format is one that has worked well for many authors of technical reports: A preferred technical report outline is shown in Table 4. The specific details may vary from one report to another; however, the basic elements of the outline should always be present. Executive Summary Because the technical report is developed for two audiences, the management and the technical, the report should begin with a concise and comprehensive summary. This is frequently called the Executive Summary. The summary should be followed by a comprehensive and inclusive discussion of the specifics on which the Executive Summary is based. The actual writing of the technical report begins with the specifics of the research study. Subsequently, the Executive Summary is written. Foreword Although it is neither required, nor often seen in technical reports, a Foreword is considered appropriate for this project report. Students may rely on the cooperation of numerous individuals in their company and may also receive financial support for their academic effort. Moreover, the engineering project may be supported or funded through internal management or development funds. It is considered good form and appropriate to recognize those who have contributed to the individual’s quest to have the Master of Engineering Management Degree conferred.

Other Pertinent Data or Supporting Documentation Format and Appearance There is a general structure for reports. The engineering management student, in developing the final report for the Master of Engineering Management Degree, must be consistent in the appearance of the report. This includes the presentation of headings, subheadings, footnotes, endnotes, illustrations, figures, tables, and references. The style guide for the report is to be selected by the author. The author is expected to be consistent with the particular guideline chosen. Many employers publish their own guidelines for their employees. These guidelines will ensure that the documentation format is consistent. Other employers may depend upon the employee to select and follow one of the popular style guides. Copies. One original copy will be submitted to the Course Advisor. The student should consider providing copies of the report to those persons who significantly contributed to the successful completion of the project. Cover Page An example of the cover page of the final report is to be found in Appendix A. The cover page must have the approval signature of the person with the authority to approve the project. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PROJECT PAGE 7 Submission of the Course Grade A course grade will be assigned to the project in accordance with the Graduate Engineering Catalog. The grade must be submitted to the Registrar at the end of the semester even though the project may not be complete. In the event that the final report and oral presentation are not completed by the deadlines identified in Appendix B, the Course Advisor will submit a grade of “I” (Incomplete) for the semester. The student will have until the end of the following semester to complete all EMP work assigned. If at the end of the following semester, the Incomplete is not removed by the students, the “I” stays on the record and is calculated in the GPA as an “F”. To remove the grade of “F” to graduate and receive the degree of Master of Engineering Management, the student will be required to register again for the project, ENGM 690. Upon re-registration for the course, the student will be eligible to submit the Final Report as required for graduation.
