Development of an Integrated Model for New ASEM Products and Services

Abstract

Many technical professional societies have technical divisions to which its members can belong. The American Society for Engineering Management has had no divisional structure since its inception. Within the last decade, ASEM has developed the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK), which is comprised of eleven domains of knowledge. The various product and service offerings of ASEM are moving to structures that align with the EMBOK domains as part of the society's strategic plan and vision. The Society is now considering how to effectively introduce Domain Interest Groups, or DIGs, to better serve its members and the profession worldwide. This paper will present the results of a survey of persons interested in engineering management across the world. This survey was presented to the ASEM membership, ASEM LinkedIn group, the ASEM Facebook group, the ASEM Twitter group, and others. Executives, managers, engineers, and students provided feedback relative to their career needs, knowledge domains, professional development, professional certification and licensure, participation in professional societies, and future ASEM conferences. This information will be used to help identify how interest groups and customer needs can be introduced in order to meet the needs of engineering managers, as well as further the discussion on marketing and developing new products and services by ASEM.
