About SEEM

Engineering Management is a rapidly growing field that combines engineering and business. In demand by pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics and other major industries, engineering managers work at the interface between technology and management. Technology-based companies typically recruit and promote engineers not only for their technical expertise but also for their potential as effective managers.

Recent studies show that most engineers will ultimately take on managerial positions, and that most will spend a considerable part of their professional careers in a management or supervisory capacity. In a recent survey conducted by the American Association of Engineering Societies, it was found that within ten years of the start of their careers, more than 50 percent of engineers find themselves in technical management positions, often without the benefit of formal training in management.

In the Engineering Management program you can combine a strong engineering core with training in accounting, cost analysis, managerial economics, quality management, group dynamics, production and technology management and engineering design. The course selection offered by this concentration exemplifies the Stevens interdisciplinary approach to developing strong problem-solving skills. The program prepares you for careers that involve the complex interplay of technology, people, economics and organizations, and provides the skills and knowledge needed to enable you to assume professional positions of increasing responsibility.

The Engineering Management program was accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology in 1992 - the first Engineering Management program accredited under the new criteria. Specialization within Engineering Management occurs in the Junior and Senior years.
