MeM at Purdue University is open to candidates from any engineering discipline who are interested in developing business skills while further developing technical and engineering skills. It offers a 21-month program that includes a 12-month Co-Op assignment or internship, as well as an accelerated 12-month program. Their programs are attractive to engineers who want a master’s degree but prefer an alternative to a traditional master’s in engineering or an MBA.
This interdisciplinary Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) degree is specifically designed for recent college graduates preparing for a career in industry. Industry research shows that a third of all engineers are promoted to management positions before having the proper management skills, which puts our grads in high demand because they are prepared with the skills and experience companies need.
A key component of our Engineering Management program is our blend of business and engineering courses, providing an emphasis ionn systems engineering and business management. In addition to deepening students’ engineering skills, we provide students with opportunities to learn, perform, and network in a business environment.
