M.S.E.M.
Plan A and Plan B
Director of Graduate Studies: Professor Richard R. Lindeke
Contact Information—Department of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering, University of Minnesota Duluth, 229 Voss-Kovach Hall, 1305 Ordean
Court, Duluth,
MN 55812 (218-726-8117; fax 218-726-8581; msem@d.umn.edu;
www.d.umn.edu/mie/MSEM).
The master of science in engineering management (M.S.E.M.)
program provides engineers with tools to more effectively
manage people, projects, technology, and information in
their careers in order to promote economic growth, competitiveness,
ethical decision-making, and environmental responsibility
and sustainability. As people in engineering positions
often manage technical projects of varying size and complexity,
the M.S.E.M. provides an excellent foundation to perform
these tasks. To meet the needs of practitioners, courses
are offered in the evening and are available to remote
sites by interactive television. Full-time enrollment is
possible and the course structure allows for unique research
opportunities. |
Prerequisites
for Admission | | All
applicants must meet the general admission requirements for the Graduate
School. Applicants should have completed an undergraduate degree
in an engineering discipline. However, an applicant with a degree
in another technical major and a substantial background in engineering
may qualify. Such students may be admitted on a case-by-case basis
and are asked to submit documentation that substantiates their engineering
experience and responsibilities.
A minimum 3.00 GPA from an accredited U.S. institution or foreign equivalent
is preferred.
Special Application Requirements
Applicants must provide two letters of recommendation concerning their academic
ability and readiness for graduate education.
