The Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) program prepares professionals for careers in managing projects, programs, systems, and organizations. Industrial, research, consulting, and commercial firms now demand engineering managers with both cutting-edge technical competence and the management skills necessary to forge linkages with the systems and business sides of these organizations. System analytics skills such as data visualization techniques, data warehousing and management for supporting system-wide decision-making, data-driven optimization methods for modeling, as well as simulation and quality control, are keys to developing novel solutions and to resolving organizational challenges with speed and accuracy.  These managers must be able to form and manage high performance teams and manage business and technological operations. The program of study is necessarily multidisciplinary, combining elements of advanced study in various engineering disciplines with studies of business and system operations and organizational behavior.
