Business Process Reengineering (BPR) for Engineering Management (EM) Majors: Industry Perspective and Students’ Feedback

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is designed to address the BPR concepts, the technologies and the strategies for implementing business transformation and best practices by emphasizing the role of BPR in managing technology and the engineering functions. BPR was first introduced to the senior year engineering students in 2006. The course was then redesigned in 2007 to improve student learning and also prepare the students to address the tasks and challenges related to BPR in their early industry career. This paper discusses the improvements that were made to the course based on an industry survey, student feedback, and performance. The authors believe that these discussions will help the academic community to design better courses related to BPR.
