Using Agile Curriculum Development to Design a Systems Engineering Program Curriculum

This project reports on using an Agile Curriculum Development approach to increase the participation of working professionals and their employers in developing and fielding two updated master's programs.Participation was increased by including these stakeholders in marketing assessments of program needs, involving them significantly in program content and delivery design, and collecting feedback on a consistent basis to allow for continuous process improvements.While this approach was seen by all stakeholders, students, faculty, and employers, to be successful, there were future improvements in course delivery that have been identified for our next program offerings.

Abstract

This project reports on using an Agile Curriculum Development approach to increase the participation of working professionals and their employers in developing and fielding two updated master's programs.Participation was increased by including these stakeholders in marketing assessments of program needs, involving them significantly in program content and delivery design, and collecting feedback on a consistent basis to allow for continuous process improvements.While this approach was seen by all stakeholders, students, faculty, and employers, to be successful, there were future improvements in course delivery that have been identified for our next program offerings.
