The master of science in the management of technology (M.S.MOT.) program is administered by the College of Sciences and Engineering's Technological Leadership Institute (TLI). The two-year, executive-format program integrates the fields of technology and management and provides working engineers and scientists with management knowledge and skills needed to assume a technical leadership role within their organizations. The program focuses on management in technology-based environments in traditional and emerging industries. The curriculum includes technical and advanced management courses, such as pivotal technologies, technology forecasting, project management, management of innovation, intellectual property management, and strategic management of technology. The core management curriculum includes areas such as finance, marketing, accounting, strategic planning and decision making, and conflict management. Students proceed through the program and advance as a cohort, taking a prescribed sequence of courses together. Case studies, class discussions, and study-group interaction stimulate the learning process. Students also participate in off-campus residencies, including an international residency; complete individual and team projects; and develop final projects as part of a capstone course. Most students receive corporate financial support.
