Engineering Management

Description
The concentration in engineering management is designed to provide the student with skills for effective management and leadership of engineering-driven enterprises. The curriculum supplements other BIS concentrations by adding to the breadth of engineering science and design, and equips the student with additional management and design skills. This knowledge is augmented with an understanding of business practices, organizational behavior and management skills to enable the graduate to succeed in the management of a scientific or engineering enterprise. Topics such as project and resource management, financial engineering, risk management, configuration management, service plans, product liability, entrepreneurship and operations management are covered, in addition to product design and process development.

Requirements

• Students must have completed MAT 265 and MAT 266 (or an equivalent calculus sequence) with a grade of "C" or better in each before they will be allowed to declare this concentration.
• Students must complete a minimum of 18 credit hours including 12 of upper division hours for this concentration.
• All courses must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher.
• To enhance the understanding of the subject matter, the selected courses are sequential in nature and require certain prerequisites. Consequently, students should carefully note the semester in which any of these courses are offered.
• Students wishing to add the concentration in Engineering Management must consult with (or may choose to consult with) an academic advisor in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering in order to create a cohesive and comprehensive program of study.
