Master of Science in Engineering Management

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.

MS in Engineering Management Degree Plan

PDF for a blank degree plan can be downloaded here: MS EM Degree Plan

The Master of Science in Engineering Management program focuses on skills and expertise to help the graduate manage other engineers and personnel in technical or production environment. 

  • Time to Degree: 2 years
  • Total Credit Hours: 30 hours

The MS in Engineering Management requires two courses as “core” courses in the Engineering Management Curriculum. These courses include:

  • MANE 6345 Engineering Management
  • MANE 6380 Engineering Project Management

All of the required courses and some of the elective courses are available as online courses. This technically permits completion of the degree totally through distance learning using the internet. These online courses can be taken using the internet from any location, but there are limitations with regard to online course attendance for international students. The result is for many the degree can be completed while in entirely a distance learning situation.

In addition to these courses, elective courses in the MANE area may be taken to complete the degree. Further, up to four approved elective courses may be taken from other areas of engineering and the sciences as well as Business College courses. The student is free to choose between a thesis, a report option, or a course work only option. The degree requires 30 hours of graduate work for thesis students, and 36 hours of course work and project work for the other degree options. The plan of study for the MS in Engineering Management is used to plan the graduate program with the student’s advisor.
