The engineering management master's program enhances students' learning to help them stand out among peers in professional settings. Using diverse teaching approaches, participants cultivate leadership and technical competencies to effectively navigate both interpersonal dynamics and technological challenges in our interconnected global workforce. This program equips students with versatile management, leadership, and technical abilities that complement their STEM backgrounds and accelerate professional growth.
Students can pursue two degree options: the Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) or the Master of Engineering Management (MEM). The MSEM combines coursework with a culminating project, whereas the MEM substitutes this requirement with eight additional graduate credits. Both programs mandate three one-credit graduate seminars, introducing specialized engineering management concepts and industry professionals beyond standard curriculum offerings.
Coursework spans multiple focus areas including entrepreneurship, operations, Six Sigma, and systems engineering, all examined through an engineering management lens.
These degrees aim to open diverse STEM career paths or advancement opportunities by expanding on undergraduate education with advanced, discipline-specific knowledge. The MEM specifically provides a rigorous professional curriculum for those wanting deeper expertise in applying engineering management principles to their existing field. Similar to MSEM candidates, MEM students gain crucial business knowledge and leadership capabilities to address modern workplace challenges that blend technical and human factors.
