What are the reasons for believing that the PPG will form a crucial reference set of information for education bodies?
It is our intention to position the guide as the primary reference for the (yet-to-be-developed) Registered Enterprise Architect examination (similar to the BAR exam), and work with universities to set it up as essential reading for relevant programs such as: A) Graduate courses in EA as offered through Industrial Engineering (IE) or Business schools. Such courses should attract graduate students (or eligible seniors) concentrating in operations research, engineering management, operations management, and computer science, and B) Degree programs as graduate degrees or academic concentrations in Enterprise Architecture. An MS in IE with EA concentration, an MBA with EA concentration and a MS in Computer Science with ETA (Enterprise Technology Architecture) could be some of the possible choices.
