The Master of Science (MS) in Engineering Management degree offers thesis, report and non-thesis options. The manufacturing engineering department is transitioning this program to an online delivery mode. Additionally, a Concentration in Systems Engineering is available for students interested in qualifications in Systems Engineering. The engineering management major is designed for students to develop an understanding of the engineering relationships between the management tasks of planning, organization, leadership, control and the human element in production, research and service organizations. There are strong synergies between the MS in engineering management, the MS in computer science and information technology, the existing MSE programs in electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering and the College of Business Administration. Students are provided an opportunity to strengthen their technological education and acquire the skills to manage and lead engineers and engineering systems.
