The American Society of Engineering Management (ASEM) recently stated that "in an increasingly complex and technically based society:

• The ability to manage and administer large technical engineering and research projects and budgets will continue to challenge engineering management skills;
• Approximately two-thirds of all engineers were spending a substantial portion of their professional careers as managers;
• The management of technology requires improved management processes; and
• A career that places engineers in management must be supported by engineering management education and organizations that strive to develop and enhance management skills." (http://www.asem.com/geninfo.html)

We are proud to announce a unique M.S. degree program in Engineering and Technology Management (ETM) that gives you the analytical tools and managerial perspective needed for today's highly competitive and technologically complex economy. You can tailor your studies to your specific interests, and gain advanced, practical knowledge through our real-world, application-focused curriculum. Select our Quantitative Decision Methods specialization and learn valuable techniques for managing large engineering and technical projects effectively. Choose our Strategy and Organization specialization and learn the correct match between organizational strategies and structures to maximize the competitive power of technology. As a graduate of our ETM Program, you will:

• Strengthen your analytical skills, improve your decision-making capabilities, and increase your grasp of key technology issues.
• Understand the science of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and directing and controlling activities that have an engineering component.
• Explore alternative strategies for managing global technology development, acquisition, and commercialization.
