Dual ME-MBA in Mechanical Engineering
The dual ME-MBA degree is designed for students that seek to have a deep technical knowledge in Mechanical Engineering as well as strong management skills and qualifications. An engineering degree coupled with an MBA provides a great mixture of education and creates a well-rounded employee. This joint degree will give engineering students strong business management skills to complement their Engineering degree, accelerating their growth into management positions and opening up a more diverse selection of career choices. The students will earn two separate Master’s degrees in succession in this dual degree program. The MBA degree will be completed first; the Engineering degree is considered the primary degree and will be finished last.
This dual program offers an exceptional combination of management skills with deep and practical knowledge of the technical aspects of mechanical engineering. The MBA program is particularly suited for engineers, as it incorporates a unique blend of courses on management skills, technology and analytics skills, and human skills.
Students in this program benefit from close interaction with an internationally recognized faculty body with diverse educational and professional backgrounds both in the School of Engineering and Science and in the School of Business, from the hybrid format of many classes, summer classes, and networking opportunities with alumni from both schools.
