N2 - There has been recent growth in undergraduate Engineering Management (EM) programs in the United States., From 2003 to 2006 the number of Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited EM programs has grown from three to five: Stevens Institute of Technology, NJ; was the second ABET accredited program in the United States; getting accredited in 1992. The growth Stevens has experienced in its undergraduate EM program since its inception has been gradual and anticipated. However, since 2003, the recent upsurge in growth has been exponential and future anticipated expansion in the available programming has led to the creation of focus areas or concentrations within the overall Stevens' EM program. The purpose of the addition of these concentrations is two fold: to allow the students to more closely align their interests with their courses and to attract more students to the EM field in general. This paper provides guidance to the expansion of one of the oldest EM programs in the country by examining the experiences and processes at Stevens Institute of Technology during its creation of the concentrations within its existing EM Program.
