Engineering Management
The Master of Science in Engineering Management offers graduate students an opportunity to develop the technical expertise and the business competence that is in high demand for management positions in technology-based industry.
Part-Time
Our Master of Science in Engineering Management is an interdisciplinary program that bridges the gaps between the fields of engineering, technology, and business. Combining core courses in engineering and finance with electives throughout the College of Engineering, the program provides a solid balance of fundamental engineering principles, management and leadership techniques, and the art and science of business within the engineering industry. Students gain the theoretical, quantitative, and analytical skills and tools they will need to contribute to interdisciplinary teams or to take a leadership position in engineering management and address complex business challenges with innovative, practical, and effective solutions.
This degree program is designed primarily for engineers with a technical business focus who are interested in managing technology-based programs. Students from other backgrounds are accepted on a case-by-case basis. All students are prepared for various potential careers in the engineering management field, including project management, product development and management, supply chain management, and technical organizations.

The College of Engineering Graduate Cooperative Education Program (co-op) is one option for experiential learning and is available on a competitive basis to selected students. Cooperative Education at the graduate level is not just a way for students to gain real world experience, but is a way to challenge, network, expand and fine-tune their knowledge within their respective industry. The goals of cooperative education are to:
- Apply knowledge and skills in new, authentic contexts.
- Develop new knowledge and skills.
- Integrate and use the deepened knowledge and skills in your academic programs.
- Reflect on and articulate how you used your knowledge and skills, how you gained new knowledge and skills, and how “theory and practice” work together.
The Graduate School of Engineering placed over 200 students with some of the most sought after technical skills in positions nationally during the 2015 academic year. We have a team that prepares students for cooperative education experience through resume building, developing interview skills and guiding professional development.
