Engineering Management and Systems Engineering (EMSE) at Missouri University of Science and Technology prepares students to lead and improve complex, real-world systems at the intersection of engineering, people, data, and artificial intelligence. Our programs combine technical depth with systems thinking, management, and analytics so students learn how to make sound decisions in uncertain, technology-rich environments.
EMSE students learn by doing. Through project-based courses, industry collaboration, and applied research, you’ll work on problems involving complex systems, data-driven decision-making, and AI-enabled technologies—developing the skills to lead teams, manage projects, and guide digital transformation across engineering and technology-driven organizations.
Students must meet with their advisor to have the advising hold removed before you can register for Fall classes.
Join the oldest and most storied engineering management program in the country.
The undergraduate engineering management degree program has been continuously accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET since 1979.
This program prepares students for leadership roles in engineering, business, and education, balancing engineering preparation with complementary education in business and management.
See our ABET Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes for the undergraduate engineering management degree program.
The field of engineering management focuses on the convergence of engineering, management, and innovation in high-technology environments. There is a growing need for engineers who can see the big picture—professionals who communicate effectively, understand the business implications of technical decisions, thrive in ambiguity, work productively in teams, and apply critical thinking to real-world problems. The graduate Engineering Management programs at Missouri S&T prepare students for these leadership challenges.
Missouri S&T’s program is the founding academic home of The American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM), established by Professor Bernard R. Sarchet, the department’s first chair, with the support of then Chancellor Merl Baker. Today, the program is strengthened by faculty research excellence in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and intelligent systems, giving students hands-on exposure to managing and leading in AI-enabled, technology-driven organizations through applied coursework, projects, and research.
Enroll in one of the best systems engineering graduate programs in the world.
As one of the leading systems engineering programs in the nation, Missouri S&T is recognized as the only university in the world to have four International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Stevens Doctoral Award recipients.
The INCOSE Certification Program has recently recognized the Missouri S&T systems engineering academic program as an alternative to the INCOSE knowledge exam as a way for individuals to prove their systems engineering knowledge and obtain certifications.
This program trains graduate students to look at engineering systems as a whole, and take an interdisciplinary, top-down, interactive approach to those systems.
