MS Engineering w/Integrated Technology Management

General Characteristics

The Master of Science degree program in Engineering has the following objectives:

  • Provide preparation for further study in engineering profession.
  • Provide an empowering terminal professional degree for students who intend to become practicing engineers, a degree that not only retains the strong learn-by-doing emphasis and industrial interaction found in the BS curriculum, but which also provides an attractive efficient educational option to undergraduate students.
  • Provide education for the more complex and evolving interdisciplinary areas of engineering, such as research and development, innovative design, systems analysis and design, bio-engineering, biomedical  engineering, manufacturing, mechatronics, and engineering management.
  • Update and upgrade opportunities for practicing engineers.
  • Allows graduates to maintain currency in their fields.

MS - Integrated Technology Management

Specifically the ITM program  goal is to develop "career ready" graduates who will be integrators of engineering disciplines, industry concerns, and technology management.  Many of the program courses involve actual integrated problems or opportunities from industrial organizations in a collaborative learning environment.

Prerequisites

Students are required to possess a bachelor's degree, from an accredited program in engineering, computer science, or equivalent technical degree.

Course Requirements

IME 596 Projecct Requirements

As part of the culminating experience in the MSEngr - ITM program students must complete 10 units of project work. These projects are usually completed with an industry partner company. Typically the first part of the project is completed while on an internship over summer quarter. The guidelines for this portion of the project are listed below. The second part of the project is usually completed after the internship while the student is back on campus, usually during fall quarter. This portion of the project is called a "Team Project" because in the ideal situation the student works to complete a graduate level project in connection with the company and a faculty advisor. The details of this second part of the project are listed below.
