| Why EM?> |  "The engineers' role has changed from performing solely technical
operations to being involved in the integration of engineering,
technology and business operations. The Engineering Management
discipline fills this critical education need by graduating engineers
who understand the increasing demand for efficiency, effectiveness, and
integration in engineering and business operations across varied industries."

Engineering Management
A Master's degree in Engineering Management (EM) builds upon undergraduate engineering and science education with studies in business, management, and Systems Engineering (SE). The traditional engineer and scientist often lacks a formal education in the human, financial, and management skills necessary to advocate the use of technology for high quality, cost efficient, complex systems. Our Master’s degree is unique in that we strive to create an engineer who is well prepared for a future in the management of engineering and technology integration.
Graduates from this program will be prepared to work effectively at the interface between engineering and management and to assume professional positions of increasing responsibility. The six core courses for this program are:
EM 600 Engineering Economics and Cost Analysis
EM 605 Elements of Operations Research
SYS/SDOE 611 Modeling and Simulation
EM/SDOE 612 Project Management of Complex Systems
SYS/SDOE 625 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
EM/SDOE 680 Designing and Managing the Development System
Students lacking a strong quantitative background that includes and introduction to calculus and statistics may be required to take several ramp courses as defined by the admission conditions listed in the acceptance letter.
Students are encouraged to take an integrated four-course sequence leading to a graduate certificate for the four advisor approved electives or four additional courses in Systems Engineering, Engineering Management, or Enterprise Systems. Most of these certificates are offered online via web-based instruction. Approved four-course sequences include:
Agile Systems and Enterprises,
Construction Management,
Enterprise Architecture and Governance,
Financial Engineering,
Logistics and Supply Chain Analysis
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practices,
Project Management,
Systems Engineering and Architecting,
Systems Engineering Management, or
Systems and Supportability Engineering
A faculty advisor must approve other options. Note that all of these certificates are available to undergraduate students as part of the four plus one program.
