The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program prepares graduate students to assume the responsibilities of professional engineering management. The EM program provides students from all engineering backgrounds with the necessary leadership abilities, technical expertise, and communication skills to meet the need for both tech-savvy and business- savvy professionals. To achieve this aim, the EM curriculum combines business basics, quantitative methods, and behavioral science in a practical, problem-solving framework.
Furthermore, the program is flexible and EM students can tailor their courses to suit their needs and preferences. Students can select from two areas of concentration (1) Financial and Industrial Engineering (FIE) and (2) Project and Program Management (PPM). In addition, students can elect to pursue the thesis or non-thesis option within the program.
MEM Program Educational Objectives
The educational objectives of the MEM program are as follows.
