You can choose one of three Master of Science degrees in Engineering Management (EM), Science Management (SM) or Project Management (PM). EM and SM are for the students advancing their career from a technical specialty to managerial leadership while maintaining their expertise in their technical functions. EM is for engineers and SM is for non-engineers while EM and SM focus on vertical functions, the curriculum of PM is for cross-functional, process-oriented approach.
