Training and Education for Smart Cities, Communities and Enterprises Using ISEM Concept

Smart digital enterprises and cities require interdisciplinary skillsets that cover the entire system life cycle and integrate knowledge from information systems, systems engineering, technology management and emerging digital technologies. This paper describes the ISEM (Information Systems Engineering and Management) concept that concentrates on the planning, engineering/reengineering and management aspects of Smart Digital Enterprises and Cities. Case study of one ISEM program is used to illustrate how such a program could be used to educate leaders of Smart Enterprises, Smart Cities and Communities. This paper also shows how an innovative Digital Transformation Lab could be used to educate and train graduate students and government officials through hands-on experiments.
