Graduate Program Overview

   

Concentration in Engineering Management

This program allows students to pursue a concentration in engineering management. The concentration in engineering management is designed to meet the increasing needs of students to enhance their career opportunities as managers or as entrepreneurs by supplementing advanced engineering knowledge with a fundamental understanding of business principles within the context of technology enterprises. Drawing upon the strengths of both the School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS) and the Daniels College of Business (DCB), the program provides relevant content for graduates to lead technology enterprises. There is only a non-thesis option available for this program. The program structure is as follows:

Engineering Focus (depth requirement) Minimum QH

  • A minimum of four 4000-level courses          24 QH
  • At the time of admission students must choose

an engineering focus area. Students must choose

an Engineering Focus are from: computer,

electrical or mechanical engineering. This focus

area should be me mentioned in the Statement of

Purpose

  • At least 6 courses must be in the Engineering

Focus Area of either computer, electrical or

mechanical engineering. Student will be assigned

to an engineering advisor which student must

consult with

Engineering Mathematics Requirement        

Must be at the 4000-level and have 3 QH

advisors approval

 

Management Focus 18 QH

Students may choose any 4000-level management

courses offered by the Daniels College of Business

Total QH 45 QH

The engineering focus must consist of a set of coordinated and related engineering courses designed to give the student depth in a particular engineering discipline (CpE, EE or ME). Students must choose and follow an area of specialization from a given discipline (the specializations are listed above), but this requirement may be waived with approval by the student’s engineering advisor if the student wishes to pursue a coherent inter-disciplinary curriculum.
