Application of DEJI Systems Engineering Model in the Development of a New Faculty Mentoring Program in Higher Education

摘要

A case example is presented for developing a new faculty mentoring program at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) using the Design-Evaluate-Justify-Integrate (DEJI) systems engineering model. AFIT is a graduate school of engineering and management, and technical professional continuing education for the United States Air Force. It provides advanced education to the Air Force and other military and government organizations. This case example provides a structured approach that can be followed to design, evaluate, justify, and integrate elements of any new work design, such as developing and executing a faculty mentoring program in an unconventional educational environment.
