About the Program
Mission
The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program prepares graduate students to assume the responsibilities of professional engineering management.
The MEM 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 MEM 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.
Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the MEM program will be able to:
- Assume managerial and leadership positions in technical and non-technical environments.
- Maximize efficiency and safety in complex systems.
- Engage in research in engineering management and closely-related fields.
- Communicate engineering concepts effectively, both in oral and written form.
- Engage in lifelong learning, especially, in the context to engineering and management.
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the general theories, methods, and tools for managing (a) resources, (b) finance, (c) risk, and (d) information for enhanced decision-making in engineering and business environments.
- Exhibit self-directed learning and critical-thinking skills.
- Develop scientific managerial skills in fields that promote innovation, such as management of technology, financial engineering, and complex project management.
- Develop skills that foster interdisciplinary collaboration, teamwork, and leadership, especially in different project and industrial settings.
- Develop effective verbal and written communication skills.
- Apply analytical (mathematical, statistical, and computer-based) tools to optimize the performance of socio-technical systems, such as infrastructure, logistics, manufacturing, construction, financial, and healthcare systems.
- Design tools for complex systems using empirical approaches that optimize user cognitive and physical wellbeing.
- Develop and defend a thesis topic or a research project in one of the engineering management areas.
What Can I Do With An MEM Degree?
