Alice Squires, Systems Engineering Education Researcher: Evaluating Effectiveness of
Distance Learning Pedagogies

Alice Squires received her MBA, graduating Summa Cum Laude with Recognition, from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and her Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, graduating Magna Cum  Laude, from University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. She has completed the requirements for a Master’s in Systems Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology, and is applying those courses as a PhD candidate towards a doctorate in Systems Engineering. Her current research focus is in systems engineering education with an emphasis on asynchronous remote distance learning pedagogy.

She is a Certified System Engineering Professional with both the base level of certification and the Acquisition designation through the International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Alice is currently the Technical Director of the School of System and Enterprises’ Online program and also serves as a faculty member in Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. Alice has over 25 years of experience, the three most recent years focused in academia as she completes her doctorate.

Prior to entering academia, she served as a Senior Systems Engineer consultant to Lockheed Martin, IBM, and EDO Ceramics, for Advanced Systems Supportability Engineering Technology and Tools (ASSETT), Inc. Before ASSETT, Alice served as a senior engineering manager for General Dynamics (GD) where she managed the department that developed
the requirements and performed the integration and testing for the vehicle electronics on the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) built for the United States Marines. Prior to GD, she served as a senior systems engineering manager for both the production control of Lockheed Martin’s radiation hardened manufacturing line and the hardware development and design verification for the payload design carried by the Asia Cellular Satellite (ACeS) System launched on February 12, 2000, and still in use today. Alice served as a technical lead for IBM for nearly ten years after graduating with her Electrical Engineering bachelor’s degree, and she began her professional career as an analyst for Delex Systems, Inc where she developed code for and demonstrated the HARPOON Interactive Tactical Training System (HITTS).
