William Boze, Engineering Manager, Newport News Shipbuilding, a Division of Huntington Ingalls Industries
"I pursued Â鶹´«Ã½ and the coursework available to solve an industry engineering problem common in the design of marine and aerospace vehicles.  That journey exposed me to systems engineering and engineering management practices, and tangentially to Dr. W. Edwards Demings’s system of profound knowledge theory.  With the encouragement and support of two respected Â鶹´«Ã½ professors, I solved that industry problem, graduated with Masters in Engineering Management, and used all that I learned to improve the performance, value and respect of my organization.  Today, I manage the Strategic Facility Plan, Facility Master Plan, and Tactical Capital and Expense Spending Plans for a 550 acre shipyard."
