Program Objectives
The MSc Engineering Management degree program is intended to produce graduates who are able to assume management responsibility in technology-based organizations. This Program is in response to student and employer demand for a Program to teach management skills to graduate engineers with little or no background in business-related knowledge.
Students completing the program are expected to be able to apply the methodology and tools of this engineering discipline to further their careers into increasing responsible management positions. Most engineers graduate with limited business-related skills which limit advancement opportunities in technology-based companies. Students are expected to learn technology management skills including financial modeling, technical marketing, law, decision-making under uncertainty, and project management.
By the completion of the MSc program in Engineering Management, a student will:
- acquire in-depth knowledge within a particular area of study and complementary knowledge from a related area in Systems and Industrial Engineering
- conduct an original research (formulating a problem, developing a model, and finding a solution based on the analysis)
- effectively communicate ideas and results via written and verbal communication.
Program Outcome
The learner will be able to:
- prepare professional proposals and reports
- competently deliver oral presentations to technical and lay audiences
- develop and use effective audio/visual aids
- write effective professional communications such as emails and memorandums
- communicate within the engineering disciplines through plans and drawings
Learning Outcomes for Learning to Learn Skills for the whole course
The learner will be able to:
- understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
- recognize the need to engage lifelong learning
- be capable of developing a career plan including options for advanced education or specialized training to enhance career
- have the ability to autonomously initiate and engage in life-long learning
Career Opportunities
- Director of Hardware Engineering at a computer design firm.
- Process Engineering Manager at a car manufacturing plant.
- Senior Operations/Systems Analyst at a digital technology firm.
