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
- EM 605 Elements of Operations Research
- SYS/SDOE 611 Modeling and Simulation
- EM/SDOE 612 Project Management of Complex Systems
- SYS/SDOE 625 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
- EM/SDOE 680 Designing and Managing the Development System
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. Approved four-course sequences include:
- Construction Management
- Enterprise Architecture and Governance
- Financial Engineering
- Logistics and Supply Chain Analysis
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practices
- Project Management
- Software Engineering
- Systems-Centric Software Engineering
- Systems Engineering and Architecting
- Systems Engineering Management, or
- Systems and Supportability Engineering
A faculty advisor must approve other options.
