Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Management
Stevens has a 140-year history of leading innovation in engineering, science, and technology. One of the first universities in the world to offer an engineering management program, today, Stevens continues to advance the discipline of Engineering Management for the 21st century.
The Stevens engineering management program prepares students to become decision makers that are able to engineer solutions for complex management problems. Upon graduation, students can assume professional positions of increasing responsibility across a broad range of industries, such as: healthcare, technology, business, finance, manufacturing, and information systems.
Engineering management (EM) is a rapidly expanding field that integrates engineering, technology, management, systems, and business. High-technology companies in the telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, consulting, information technology and other industries utilize the concepts and tools of EM such as project management, quality management, engineering economics, modeling and simulation, systems engineering and integration, and statistical tools. These technology-based companies recruit EM graduates for their expertise in these tools and techniques and to fill a critical need of integrating engineering and business operations.
The EM program combines a strong engineering core with training in accounting, cost analysis, managerial economics, quality management, project management, production and technology management, systems engineering, and engineering design. The course selection offered by this major exemplifies the Stevens interdisciplinary approach to developing strong problem-solving skills. The program prepares students for careers that involve the complex interplay of technology, people, economics, information, and organizations. The program also provides the skills and knowledge needed to enable students to work effectively at the interface between engineering and management and to assume professional positions of increasing responsibility in management or as key systems integrators. Concentrations are available in two areas: Systems Engineering and Financial Engineering.
Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Management Mission and Objectives
The mission of the Bachelor of Engineering in engineering management (BEEM) program is to provide an education based on a strong engineering core, complemented by studies in business, technology, systems, and management, to prepare the graduate to work at the interface between technology/engineering and management, and to be able to assume positions of increasing technical and managerial responsibility. The objectives of the EM program can be summarized as follows:
- EM graduates define, design, develop and assess solutions, as well as manage resources and processes to address complex multidisciplinary problems through their strong broad-based foundation and engineering management education and knowledge of modern technological tools.
- EM graduates effectively lead and work on multidisciplinary project teams and are able to communicate and solve real world problems using knowledge and tools gained from their engineering management education.
- EM graduates continue sustained intellectual growth in the corporate or academic world.
- EM graduates successfully adapt to diverse technological and societal conditions to bring innovative, flexible, and ethical solutions to their work.
Student Outcomes - By the time of graduation, engineering management students will have:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze, and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
- A fundamental knowledge and an appreciation of the technology and business processes necessary to nurture new technologies from concept to commercialization.
