Engineering Management, B.S.E.M.
Program Educational Objectives:
The engineering management program prepares graduates who will:
- Be successful as practicing professionals in diverse career paths or in graduate school.
- Distinguish themselves in breadth of perspective and the ability to solve complex problems.
- Be effective communicators and team members, with many assuming leadership roles.
- Be active in their profession and participate in continuing education opportunities to foster personal and organizational growth.
- Demonstrate a concern for justice, ethical behavior, and societal improvement through participation in professional and civic organizations.
Typical fields of activity for graduates are in manufacturing and production, scheduling, quality control, technical marketing, sales engineering, field work, contract supervision, and construction management. Some graduates will become entrepreneurs. Students who wish to lead research or design projects should obtain a bachelor’s degree in an appropriate engineering specialization.
The course of study includes the same mathematics, science, basic engineering, and liberal arts courses as the other engineering disciplines. However, some of the upper-division engineering courses are replaced with courses in economics, accounting, and marketing and management. The student has ample opportunity to take electives. These can be chosen from civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, and from marketing and management, accounting, and finance.
The engineering management program leads to a bachelor of science in engineering management (B.S.E.M.) degree.
