Master's Degree in Engineering Management

By combining courses in systems, engineering, and management, we provide the right mix of technical and management content to prepare engineers and scientists to assume positions of increasing responsibility.  The information age has produced problems that are complex, interdisciplinary, and economically driven.  Our program is designed by industry to meet these challenges.  Through the use of multiple delivery methods to include traditinoal graduate classes, web based, and executive modules, we have developed a program that is one of the leading edge of engineering education that meets the needs of the working professional.

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
OR
EM 620 Engineering Cost Management
EM 605 Elements of Operations Research
SYS 611 Simulation and Modeling
OR
SYS 681 Dynamic Modeling of Systems and Enterprise
EM 612 Project Management of Complex Systems
EM 680 Designing and Managing the Development Enterprise
SYS 625 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering

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. 

A faculty advisor must approve other options.
