M.S Engineering Management
Engineering a Better World by integrating engineering, business and people
About The Program
The M.S. in Engineering Management program is designed to inspire and educate a new generation of technical leaders with analytical knowledge, business insight, advanced communication and project management skills. The program equips students to design and implement data-driven, innovative, and effective solutions for improving processes and systems in industry and society.
Emphasizing Learn-by-Doing and a project-based engineering education approach, students typically work closely with a faculty advisor to research on solving real-world problems. The MS Engineering Management program helps students sharpen both technical skills and non-technical skills required for success in their careers.
Many recent graduates have landed positions in high-tech companies such as Cisco and Workday; aerospace industry leaders such as ViaSat, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Parker Aerospace; manufacturing companies such as Tesla Motors, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson; and consulting companies such as Deloitte to design and improve business operations.
