Program Description

The Cornell Engineering Management Master of Engineering program offers a part-time, distance learning degree option. The program takes place over two years and is designed for working professionals who are looking to build their engineering management skills and move ahead in their careers. The M.Eng. program in Engineering Management is geared towards engineers who want to stay in a technological environment but advance to managerial roles. Through an in-depth, real-world group design project, and course content in management science, project management, decision and risk analysis, information technology, finance and accounting, and organizational behavior students gain the technical and managerial skills necessary to become effective engineering managers. They also learn managerial skills to help organize and supervise people from different cultures and backgrounds to maximize teamwork, creativity, and productivity, and to do so in an environment of global awareness and concern for ethical issues. Students learn to identify problems, formulate and analyze models to understand them, and interpret analysis results for managerial action. Further, they learn to navigate this process with a broad, global perspective that considers the full range of technical, economic, environmental, social and other consequences over an appropriate time horizon. While critically important to the success of engineering managers, many of these skills, the managerial and systems analysis abilities, are not emphasized in traditional engineering curricula.
