Engineering Management
Engineering management (EM) is a rapidly expanding field that combines engineering, technology, management, systems and business. High-technology companies in the telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, consulting, information technology and other industries utilize EM concepts and tools such as project management, quality management, engineering economics, modeling and simulation, systems engineering and integration, and statistical tools. Given that most students will spend most of their professional careers in a management or supervisory capacity, this certificate provides many of the skills necessary to be successful in the 21st century global economy.
