Program Description:

Students who have managerial positions or will be assuming managerial responsibilities will find this program especially attractive. It provides an opportunity to combine advanced engineering study with an introduction to the principles and tools of management and decision making. An Environmental Engineering option is available in this specialization for students who are interested in developing a background in this area, or who have responsibility for environmental matters in a professional capacity.

Technical electives may be selected from any of the other engineering graduate programs and 6 credits in management from the School of Business.

The engineering management specialization may not be combined with either the thesis option or be incorporated into the dual MEng/MBA program.
