Zijing Partnership
Stevens Launches Master of Engineering in Engineering Management Collaboration with Zijing Education
Through our partnership with Tsinghua Holdings Zijing (Beijing) Education Group (Zijing Education), Stevens Institute of Technology offers students in China an opportunity to earn a Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (M.Eng.) through study in China and the United States. Offering conditional first-year admission to undergraduate students, Stevens will provide operational services and student recruitment for this unique and prestigious collaboration.
The Program Structure
The program allows students to earn a master’s degree in two years by completing one year of study in China and the second in the United States. During the first year, undergraduate junior or senior year students receive conditional admission to the master’s program at Stevens if they complete/pass the Intensive English program, fulfill the undergraduate overall GPA requirement, and the English proficiency requirement (see https://sit-plus.ezijing.com/ for additional acceptable proof of English proficiency). With a curriculum developed in collaboration with Stevens, first-year courses are taught in China by Zijing Education faculty.
After graduating college and meeting entrance requirements, Stevens will offer students unconditional admission to complete the second and final year of their master’s program in the United States. This degree can be certified as a master’s degree by the Chinese (Ministry of Education) Service Center for Scholarly Exchange.
This program adopts bilingual and small-sized class teaching styles to help students adapt to the American teaching mode in advance.
Degree and Curriculum
The Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (M.Eng.) degree program provides students with a strong understanding of the technology involved in engineering projects and the management process. The program equips engineers, technical managers, business operations professionals, and others with the skills, tools, and methodologies needed to effectively manage complexity across industries. Students can expect a program with a strong engineering core with training in quality management, project management, production and technology management, accounting, cost analysis, managerial economics, engineering design, and systems integration. Our emphasis on real-world applications and hands-on learning prepares graduates to keep an organization running efficiently, cost-effectively, and importantly, ahead of its competitors.
Engineering Management Career Options
Upon completion of the M.Eng. degree, students advance to professional positions of increasing responsibility across a broad range of industries such as business, finance, healthcare, software, and technology. Examples of highly in-demand career options may include data analyst, project manager, operational research analyst, application engineer, risk manager, and research and development.
