Overview

The Master in Engineering Management (MEM) program prepares engineers for managing complex technological organizations in service and manufacturing industries. The program of study is multi and intra disciplinary, merging the latest development in management and technology theory and practices. The program design aims at developing the knowledge, abilities and judgment to become a successful manager and entrepreneur using best practices, techniques and paradigms of project management, supply chain operations and system thinking.

Philosophy

The combination of management concepts and technical skills presented in the MEM Program allows engineers to acquire the managerial skills necessary to advance in today’s technological driven organizations, in either the service or manufacturing sector. Emphasizing the continuity of management and engineering related efforts from planning through development, operations and controlling, and stressing the application of management and system theory and techniques to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, is one key issue facing many organizations. Based on these realities the Program stresses the importance on using practices of project and program management, management information systems, organizational behavior, and system operations.
