Engineering Management

About the Program

In our increasingly complex, technologically-oriented economy, demand has risen for professionals with the expertise to manage both human and technological resources — a combination of talents crucial to organizations competing in the global marketplace. Students graduating with the MS in engineering management are significantly better positioned to meet the new challenge.

Engineering Management is a multidisciplinary program offering a core curriculum and specialization in a selected area of technology or management. Study can be on a part-time or full-time basis, and all courses are offered online. Majors in engineering management must hold a bachelor’s degree in engineering, basic science, or a related field. The program is open to those professionals who aspire to be engineering or technically based managers.

Students must satisfy program requirements for each degree, with a maximum of 15 credits transferred from one program to the other. (The MS in engineering management requires 48 credits; if the other degree requires 45 credits, then 63 credits are required under the dual degree program. ) Approval for the dual degree program must be obtained from the program advisor in each department.

Graduate Co-op Program (GCP)

The Graduate Co-op Program (graduate intern or co-op program) is available to master’s-level engineering management students. The opportunity to spend six months in industry provides a significant opportunity for the engineer in transition to management. Through Drexel’s Steinbright Career Development Center, students can explore new career directions. This program requires 6 additional credits, 3 for each term in industry.
