Master of Science in Industrial Engineering Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering >> Master of Science in Engineering Management |
The master of science degree program in engineering management is designed to build both technical competence and business acumen. The program builds understanding and skills critical to the support of fast-to-market strategies, which also guarantee product quality, and cost minimization. A systematic analytical framework is developed and coupled with tools for managing the engineering and technical functions within manufacturing-based companies.
This cross-disciplinary program draws from the expertise of the College of Engineering and School of Business Administration, and develops the engineering leader who is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to successfully compete in the twenty-first century.
Prospective students should contact the Program Coordinator, Dr. Leslie Monplaisir, for further information.

Probability and Statistics Placement Test
The test is administered for new students prior to the first week of every semester. Students who fail the placement exam will be given a not-for-credit refresher course in probability and statistics. There is no fee for this course. Students are required to obtain the equivalent of B in this class to satisfy the placement exam requirement. >>Additional exam information
