West Point’s Engineering Management Program received the 2023 American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) Founder’s Award.

“This award annually recognizes the top undergraduate engineering management program leadership out of the 50 international programs eligible,” ASEM explained. “The judging criteria is based on demonstrated contributions to undergraduate engineering management education and practice, recommendations from stakeholders outside of the institution including employers and alumni, and other significant achievements related to undergraduate engineering management program leadership.”

The Department of Systems Engineering Management Program has won this award 18 times since 1991.

"We are outrageously proud of the team's diverse accomplishments in Engineering Management (EM) – it is no surprise EM continues to be a highly subscribed major,” said Col. Julia Coxen, head of the Department of Systems Engineering. “Big thanks to the extremely impressive and elite team of EM leaders, faculty and cadets in the Department of Systems Engineering. ALL SYSTEMS GO!"

In addition to earning the top program award, West Point also earned the 2023 ASEM Founder’s Award for the Best Student Chapter. The Student Chapter has won this award six times since 2001.

“This award annually recognizes the best chapter out of the 25 international student chapters eligible,” ASEM cited. “The judging criteria is based on nine criteria ranking the student and faculty international and local contributions to the engineering management profession.”

These international awards highlight the program and student club’s continued excellence in providing opportunities for cadets to experience engineering management in and outside the classroom through guest speaker series, field trips and other enrichment activities.

“The dedicated leadership, faculty, staff and cadet leaders have been critical in the program’s and club’s success,” exclaimed Maj. Sam Yoo, officer in charge of the EM Student Club. “With 328 cadets on the roster for the academic year 2024, we look forward to the upcoming year.”

At the U.S. Military Academy, students studying EM examine the engineering relationships between the management tasks of staffing, organizing, planning and financing, and the human element involved in production, research and service. The ASEM Student Chapter takes learning beyond the classroom by promoting the development and practice of the EM profession through meetings, professional contacts, discussions and written publications.
