Starting Salary

The average starting salary for engineering managers varies from year to year, but normally is one of the higher starting salaries for engineers at Stevens. Stevens Engineering Management graduates consistently rank among the top three starting salaries of all engineering disciplines graduating from Stevens.

The average starting salary for Engineering Management graduates from 2019-2022 is $74,250.

Job Placement

Engineering Management graduates from the Class of 2022 had a 100% Career Outcomes Rate, with 57% of graduates continuing their education.

The School of Systems and Enterprises offers several awards and professional development opportunities.

Accelerated Master's Program (AMP)

The School of Systems and Enterprises participates in the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) designed for Stevens undergraduate students who also want to pursue a master's degree. Many engineering and science students wish to jointly pursue a master of engineering in Engineering Management or Systems Engineering with their undergraduate degree. Admission criteria to the program are junior standing, an application, and a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0. The advantage of the AMP program is an undergraduate and graduate degree in a reduced time period (five years).

Cooperative Education

The Cooperative Education Program at Stevens provides real-world experience to students while they pursue their education. The success of the program is built on the capabilities and enthusiasm of the co-op students and the challenging work assignments provided by the co-op employers. About 30% of Engineering Management students are enrolled in the Cooperative Education Program. At Stevens, we believe that cooperative education is first and foremost a powerfully effective educational process. Co-op is built on a theory/practice model of learning that unfolds through five increasingly sophisticated work assignments. In addition to the educational benefits, co-op helps student clarify and test their career goals and earn money to pay part of their college expenses.

Senior Design

Senior Design is the culmination of an Engineering Management education, typically spanning the three semesters in junior and senior year. The scope of the project is decided in discussion between a sponsor and the Stevens Senior Design coordinator. A suitable project is one that provides value to the sponsor, is appropriate to the time scale and meets the academic requirements of the program.

Sponsorship provides a context for the project and is a meaningful bridge to the "real world" of professional work. In keeping with this, our goal is to have students work on cross-disciplinary teams so that they gain experience in the type of environment that they will experience in their careers.

Sponsored Senior Design can significantly benefit both the students and the sponsoring organization. Recent industrial sponsors have been United Parcel Service, Ethicon, New Jersey Department of Agriculture, United States Postal Service, the City of Elizabeth (N.J.), Century 21 and Medina Consultants.

Engineering Management Honor Society

Stevens Institute of Technology is the Beta chapter of Epsilon Mu Eta, the engineering management honor society. In addition to being eligible for engineering honor societies such as Tau Beta Pi, excellent academic and community service allows consideration for membership into the Engineering Management Honor Society as well.

American Society for Engineering Management

The American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) exists to help its members to develop and improve their skills as practicing managers of engineering. Stevens has a chapter of ASEM that holds regular events for students on campus. Some of these events include resume-writing workshops, career panel discussions and visits with the U.S. Military Academy at West Point's chapter of ASEM.

Areas of Concentration

Some students may wish to cluster electives in ways that would help them gain expertise in area of specialization within engineering management. Engineering Management students can focus their field of interest by concentrating in either Systems Engineering or Financial Engineering by taking three specific courses among two technical electives and three general electives in various ways.

Awards

• The Hans J. Lang Award for Excellence in Cost Engineering and Engineering Economics

• The Frederick Winslow Taylor Award

• The Humphreys/ Ennis/ Lesser Award

• The John Mihalasky Award

• Donald N. Merino Award for Academic Excellence

The Sponsored Senior Design program is the culmination of the undergraduate engineering management education.

Teams of up to four students typically work on the sponsored Senior Design consulting, entrepreneurial and product development projects for two to three semesters. The scope of the project is decided in discussion between the sponsor and a Stevens Senior Design coordinator. A suitable project is one that provides value to the sponsor, is appropriate to the time scale and meets the program's academic requirements.

These projects are typically conducted in the two-semester design sequence during a student's senior year. The goal is to have students work on multidisciplinary teams to gain experience in the type of environment that they will experience in their respective careers post graduation. Stevens faculty members with expertise in the field(s) of the project, together with the sponsor, provide joint supervision of the groups. Progress is presented twice per semester and a comprehensive final report is submitted upon project completion.
