Management of Engineering and Technology

Engineering and technical managers plan, lead and coordinate the direction of design, research, development, and production in organizations. They are unique because of their ability to balance technical and essential management skills. As competitive pressures reshape the typical role of the engineer from largely technical to one that encompasses management, individuals with skills that bridge that gap have a distinct advantage over competitors. This program is designed for early and mid-career engineers who want to prepare for management roles in technically focused organizations. The certificate can be customized with the choice of three electives after completing two core courses. Take one course or the complete series.
