The master of science in engineering management (MSEM) provides technical professionals with the tools and skills to manage technical organizations and resources to promote economic growth, competitiveness, ethical decision-making, and environmental responsibility and sustainability. The program is designed to help advance the career path of engineers and address the urgent needs of engineering managers to effectively manage people, projects, technology, and information of varying size and complexity. It also prepares those who want to continue their studies in the field of engineering management in other academic institutions or research based organization. To meet the needs of working professions, courses are offered in the evening and are available for remote sites by interactive television (ITV) or online sessions. Full-time enrollment is possible and the course structure allows for unique research opportunities.
