Master of Science - Engineering Management

The Engineering Management program includes contributions from faculty with a wide range of both academic and practical industrial experience.  Students gain knowledge in the concepts and theory underlying contemporary techniques in the management and operation of technology-based organizations as well as how to apply those principles in real-life situations.  

A wide variety of jobs are offered to Engineering Management graduates, including project engineering, plant engineering, information technology, or engineering administration.  Our graduates are employed in many technology-based industries such as aerospace, heavy equipment, electronics, and energy.
