Master of Science in Engineering Management
| Major Code: | 8075 | Degree Awarded: | Master of Science |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery Mode(s): | Classroom | Location(s): | Aberdeen, Hampton Roads, Main Campus - Melbourne, Northeast, Orlando, Patuxent, Redstone/Huntsville, Spaceport - COB |
| Admission Status: | Graduate | Age Restriction: | No |
The Master of Science in Engineering Management meets the professional needs of the engineer who, although working in a technical field, finds it necessary to update his or her skills in engineering, as well as acquire knowledge in the management of engineering. Typically, the technical person finds that as he or she advances in the chosen field, the challenges of management increase as part of the overall responsibilities of the position. Many find that their careers would best be served by a program addressing both areas of their job responsibilities. This interdisciplinary program is designed for those individuals.
Admission Requirements
An applicant for the master’s program in engineering management should have a bachelor’s degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program. Applicants with bachelor’s degrees in physical sciences, computer science and mathematics will also be considered. In evaluating an international application, consideration is given to the academic standards of the school attended and the content of the courses. Letters of recommendation and a statement of educational objectives reflecting the applicant’s professional experience and career goals are encouraged. Applicants should also take the GRE.
General admission requirements and the process for applying are discussed in the Academic Overview section of the university catalog.
Degree Requirements
The Master of Science in Engineering Management requires a minimum of 30 credit hours. Courses taken to satisfy admission prerequisites cannot be counted toward the degree requirements. Students without adequate undergraduate courses in calculus, statistics, linear algebra, differential equations and physics will be required to make up these deficiencies. Applicants whose bachelor’s degrees are not in engineering will also be required to remedy any additional deficiencies by satisfactorily completing a number of undergraduate courses selected to meet the prerequisites for graduate study in their engineering area of specialization. GRE scores are required for these applicants.
Curriculum
The master of science degree program includes all courses in the required course list and five elective courses as outlined below. Students should not register for any course outside the College of Engineering or main campus before submitting an approved program plan signed by both their adviser and department head. Newly admitted students in the program should have program plans approved by their designated adviser and department head before registering for any course to be applied toward graduation requirements. Students applying for a second graduate degree should submit their complete change of major form and program plan at least two semesters before graduation and no later than four weeks after starting their program. Only graduate courses in engineering, physical science or mathematics may be counted as transfer credit from the first degree.
| Required Courses | Credits | |
| ENM 5100 | Quality Engineering | 3 |
| ENM 5200 | Project Engineering | 3 |
| ENM 5310 | Topics in Systems Engineering | 3 |
| ENM 5350 | Topics in Engineering Modeling and Design | 3 |
| SYS 5385 | Systems Life Cycle Cost Estimation | 3 |
Elective Courses
Five elective courses are required, including at least three graduate-level courses that are purely technical in nature and taken from any program within the College of Aeronautics, College of Engineering or College of Science. Non-technical courses will not be accepted. A maximum of two courses may be taken from other colleges with the approval of the adviser and department head.
