The Master of Science program in Engineering Management requires the completion of 33 credit hours. Courses are divided into three categories: Core Courses (18 hours), Elective Courses (12 hours), Field Project (3 hours). The elective course work allows students to concentrate one of three areas (Consulting Engineering Services, Manufacturing/Process Industry, Systems and Information Technology) which mirror the principal professional areas from which EMGT students come.
Engineering Management is flexible with respect to students’ choice of electives and encourages students to select courses that meet one of our emphasis areas or technical courses from Business Administration, Public Administration, Engineering or Computer Science programs. All such elective courses must be listed as graduate courses, taken for graduate credit, and approved by an EMGT faculty member in order to apply toward the Master of Science in Engineering Management degree.
The curriculum is designed to make its graduates sensitive to customer needs and to changes in business and industry and government.
Throughout the EMGT program, emphasis is placed on team-based approaches, written and oral communications skills, management of technology and continuous improvement.
Case studies and a field project encourage the practical application of concepts. EMGT students are encouraged to choose work-related topics for their field projects.
