摘要

Academic departments need to assess and upgrade their existing programs and course offerings for important reasons such as: ⅰ) to regularly evaluate a curricula's structure, ⅱ) to maintain competitiveness, ⅲ) to evaluate the resiliency of a given academic program, and ⅳ) to ensure its relevance to the fast changing environment and context. This paper aims to demonstrate the complexity-derived concept of 'vulnerability' and how it applies to difficult decision-making situations. We use a graph theory-based complexity perspective as a tool to supplement decision making in assessing a department's course offering. Specifically, we can regard Old Dominion University College of Engineering's Engineering Management and Systems Engineering (EMSE) department or specifically its graduate program offering as a multi-component (many body) system consisting of its internal connectivity (i.e. combination of course offering as member interactions) defining structural complexity and as a source of vulnerability. We explore an alternate methodology that combines the state-of-the-art in clustering text analysis as well as complexity-induced vulnerability quantitative techniques recently developed for risk quantification of complex systems.
