Master of Science in Engineering Management

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

The engineering management master's program facilitates students' educational experiences to distinguish themselves from other engineers in the workplace. Through various instruction modes and experiences, students develop leadership and technical skills to positively address the human (behavioral) and technical opportunities presented in today's global work environment. The goal is to provide students with discipline-free managerial, leadership, and technical skills that accentuate their undergraduate STEM degrees and elevate their career trajectories.

The department offers two variations of the master's degree: Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) and Master of Engineering Management (MEM). The MSEM degree requires a combination of coursework and a capstone project, while the MEM degree does not require a capstone project but instead requires eight (8) additional credit hours of graduate-level coursework. Both degree programs require three (3) one-credit hour EMGT graduate seminars, which expose students to relevant engineering management topics and experts that they would not be exposed to in other classes.

Within the course offerings of engineering management, students can explore the areas of entrepreneurship, operations, Six Sigma, and systems engineering as they relate to the discipline.

Both degrees' objective is to prepare graduates for a diverse set of career opportunities in STEM fields or career advancement in their current field of study. We achieve these objectives by building upon their undergraduate training with advanced coursework and topics relevant to the engineering management discipline.
