Table 2: What Exactly are the Specializations & What Career Paths Will They Support ISEM Specializations (3 Courses Plus Related Capstone) Technology Management in the Digital Age: take ISEM 547 (IT Management), 6 semester hours in MGMT and using Technology Management concepts in Capstone. Smart Cities, Communities and Enterprises: take ISEM 572 (Smart Cities) and at least 6 semester hours from (ISEM 503, ISEM 565, ISEM 558) & using smart city concepts in ISEM Capstone. Techpreneurship (ENTP): take 9 semester hours in ENTP & Capstone in ENTP or choose the ENTP Concentration Next Generation Technologies (Blockchains and Quantum Information Science): take least 9 semester hours in QIS/BC and Capstone in NGT AI and BI for Business: take at least 9 semester hours in AI/BI (e. g. , ISEM 503, ISEM 565, ISEM 761) and use AI/BI concepts in ISEM Capstone. Ph. D Prep(Ph. D): take 9 semester hours to prepare for Ph. D Admission & Thesis Digital IT Infrastructure (Io. Ts, 5 G), Industry 4. 0): take at least 9 semester hours in Digital Infrastructure (DI) -- e. g. , ISEM 534, ISEM 536. ISEM 555, ISEM 558 -- and use DI concepts in Capstone Analytics, Project Management, and CISC Focus by taking 3 courses from any of these programs and using any of these concepts in ISEM Capstone (thus having a double major). Build Your Own (BYO): Almost unlimited number of highly creative Specializations by combining any graduate course work in ISEM shown in Exhibit 1 with any other HU courses to meet the changing needs of modern digital enterprises. For example, a student can take two courses in digital health, one in security, one in analytics, and one in entrepreneurship to launch a unique Possible Careers Manage, plan, architect & integrate the digital enterprises Planners, Architects, System Integrators of Smart Enterprises Launch your own business in the technology sector or join one R&D of BC & QIS solutions in supply chains, Cyber security, etc Manage, lead or participate in future AI/BI applications Technology Architect and a DI Specialist for Smart City Projects Plan, architect. integrate and manage data & computer science initiatives A very large number of interesting scenarios. For example, an ISEM student with fashion degree took ISEM 502 to start web design shop. Also, a
