Engineering Management (EM) MajorAdvisor: John FarrMany engineers and scientists find themselves at a decision point about five years after graduation. They must choose between continuing their technical specialty and entering the ranks of technical management or serve as key systems integrators. Ten years after graduation, more than 75% of engineers have chosen the second route, assuming managerial responsibilities or key systems integration responsibility for which they have often had little or no formal training. The traditional engineer and scientist often lacks preparation in the human, financial, and systems integration skills necessary to make project teams more productive, improve product and process quality, and promote the advancement of high technology for complex systems. Thus, this program takes a multidisciplinary approach by providing a blend of engineering, systems, and management subjects. This program is unique in that it strives to create an engineer who is well prepared for a future in the management of engineering and technology. Desired:An undergraduate degree in engineering or science. Note that significant work experience in the management of engineering or science professionals may be substituted for this requirement.
