SCM-MS Philosophy     Two groups of educational principles guide the program to help the students become successful supply chain leaders.
    Essentialist Principles:
        - Emphasize the most essential topics/concepts instead of black-box techniques.
        - Master skills and knowledge by moving from less to more complex.
        - Encourage thinking objectively, analytically, flexibly and imaginatively.
        - Support the lectures with real-life-like problems/cases.
        - Blend the experience from work, home, school to create an effective and entertaining learning environment.
          Active learning is also supported by company projects/internships arranged by centers C4ISN and ICDRIA, fieldtrips and games.
    Progressive Principles:
        - Provide a broad curriculum supported with wide range of electives.
        - Gear the program towards student/business interests.
        - Encourage interaction among students who learn from their peers as well as from instructors.
        - Provide a self-paced (with online material), self-directed learning and close relationships with the instructors.
        - Update the program in consultation with the Industry Advisory Committee composed mostly of SCM practitioners.
          The Industry Advisory Committee has members from corporations such as
                    Blockbuster, EDS, Fujitsu, i2, JC Penney, Lennox, McKesson, Pepsi-Co, Texas Instruments and UPS.
