The Engineering Management M.S. program provides superior graduate education for technical managers from engineering, science, mathematics, and computer science. Program graduates are more effective managers in technology-based organizations and are better able to promote entrepreneurial activities for new businesses.
This program integrates management with technology by focusing on 3 dimensions:
- Technical: an understanding of and proficiency in engineering and science.
- Human: the ability to build a collaborative effort within a group.
- Conceptual: the ability to apply analytical thought to the management process and to the enterprise as a total system.
Courses are offered synchronously online and are taught by faculty with decades of experience in the topics they are teaching. Faculty biographical information and other program information may be viewed on the program's website
