Description
The MEM program is a state-of-the-art program designed for practicing engineers, scientists, technical specialists, and engineering managers to dramatically enrich their technical skills and understanding of the engineering leadership positions.
The MEM program is an interdisciplinary program - a rich and balanced blend of engineering and management courses as well as the treatment of fundamental, current and the evolving practices. It equips the future and the current managers with skills to face the challenges and opportunities offered by the global competition. It is a dynamic program - curriculum continuously enhanced to meet the new and evolving engineering and business challenges.
The Engineering Management Program is distinctive among engineering management programs in its curriculum responsiveness to the evolving global challenges, and the courses being taught by both seasoned faculty and by industry leaders who bring the real world expertise to the classroom.
In partnership with the International Quality Federation (IQF), the MEM program provides options for Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt Certification. The certification itself is earned through IQF. These courses are open to non-MEM students.
The program objectives of the MEM program are as follows:
-
To provide graduates with a unique skill-set of technical and management skills.
-
To equip graduates to recognize the effects of new technology on management issues and tools and processes to leverage them.
-
To provide graduates with both an ability to apply engineering principles and a skill in organizing and directing technical projects and people in technical jobs.
-
To provide the tools needed to function competitively in today's challenging engineering environment.
-
To foster innovation and creativity.
