Master of Science in Engineering Management
The Engineering Management Program teaches you the skills you need to move up the management track in an engineering or technology company. This graduate program emphasizes the essential leadership, business, and management skills required to effectively manage and lead people and complex projects in a technical company. It is ideal for someone who is entering their first leadership role or aspires to move into management. Although not required for participating in this program, it is expected that students are, or intend to be, employed in a technology-oriented enterprise or government organization.
An applied degree, the Engineering Management program teaches real-world, industry-specific skills that you can immediately apply to your everyday work. Many courses are offered in an online or hybrid format to maximize convenience for the working professional. An optional capstone course where students carry out individual research in a management topic of interest is recommended as the culminating experience in the program.
