In successful companies, the professional staff includes not only experts in
engineering and experts in management, but also experts in the integration of
those disciplines. Engineers entrusted with leadership roles will require the
knowledge of tools not found in many undergraduate curricula. These include analytical
and quantitative tools for decision making, including statistical and operations
research techniques. Linked with these topics are issues such as marketing, organizational
behavior, and quality. They are ultimately integrated in the study of project
management and the management of technological innovation. Course work addressing
all these issues will provide engineers with the tools to lead effectively and
manage technology within their companies.
The Master of Science in Engineering Management program is designed to provide
practicing engineers and specialists in related fields with the requisite skills
to advance to management positions and assess and manage new and existing technologies
specific to a company’s needs. Successful students earn a Master of Science degree
through the completion of 35 credits of course work culminating in an industry-based
management project.*
