PROGRAM FEATURES and EDGE

Engineering Management involves designing, operating and continuously improving systems by integrating engineering and management knowledge. The most important goal of the program is to prepare engineers, scientists and managers for professional practice as managers in the technology intensive world of the 21st century. In particular, the master of science degree program is well suited (content and delivery mode) to the practicing engineer.

The Engineering Management program at Missouri University of Science and Technology is one of the largest and oldest in the world. Areas of possible specialization include management of technology, industrial engineering, manufacturing, financial engineering and quality engineering.

Presently two graduate certificate programs are offered:

• Project Management
• Project Engineering and Construction Management

The student must have an average grade of 3.0 or better in four courses of the program to receive a Graduate Certificate.

If the four-course sequence is completed with a grade of B or better in each of the courses taken, the student can be admitted to the M.S. program. The certificate courses taken by students admitted to the master's program will count toward their master’s degrees.
