Electronic Enterprise Engineering Program
The multi-disciplinary Electronic Enterprise Engineering (EEE) program seeks to help organizations prosper in the rapidly changing electronic marketplace. EEE will develop techniques, methodologies and architectures for enterprise engineering and train the next generation of enterprise engineers in these skills.

Electronic Enterprise Engineering: Program Goals
The Electronic Enterprise Engineering program strives to help organizations fully utilize
computer support in operations and decision making. We propose a process-oriented approach that will enable
enterprises (companies, educational institutions and
non-profit organizations, governmental agencies,
etc.) to:
- manage and evolve all technological and organizational processes
effectively;
- integrate and manage all enterprise information electronically; and
- empower knowledge workers at all levels with improved job support and broad decision support capabilities.
The three goals interact with each other. Effective process engineering requires broad access to an organization's information base for
process design, on-going analysis and enactment. The combination of improved processes and the integrated tool environment our EEE architecture provides for process engineering will make many workers more effective at their jobs. Additionally, processes which embed standard rules as well as
well thought-through decision options would enable employees to perform their jobs with less management supervision and greater flexibility. Here too, greater access to information, along with processes to help evaluate this information, will empower employees with more autonomy.
The EEE approach should empower an enterprise to make the
best use of
its informational assets for operating effectively in this new era of
electronic commerce.
Electronic Enterprise Engineering: Program Structure
At the New Jersey Institute of Technology, we view Electronic Enterprise Engineering as more than an academic research effort. We have an industry consortium through which we shall conduct requirements analyses and field studies. We also are developing a full curriculum so we can train an
EEE-cognizant work force. The EEE program spans multiple departments and research centers at NJIT, and eventually at other partner universities.
To this end we actively are developing the following components of the EEE program:
- practical and theoretical research in EEE-topics and their seamless integration
- a weekly seminar series
- a full undergraduate, masters and Ph.D. curriculum
- certificate programs for continuing education
- industry partnerships
NJIT Commitment
NJIT has committed ten faculty positions to the Electronic Enterprise Engineering program for the next five years.
