You know how complex projects can get as multiple disciplines come together to deliver results that benefit the public and minimally impact the environment. Engineering management professionals synthesize and monitor these aspects, streamlining projects and improving systems to deliver desired outcomes in a cost-effective and efficient manner. 

As you look ahead in your career, understand how to direct projects from concept to completion with an online master of science in engineering management from Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T). This non-thesis degree program creates a stepping stone from a specialist role to one where you’ll integrate multiple engineering disciplines to solve problems, improve existing processes and achieve results. Courses highlight the intersection of engineering, management and technology and their real-world applications. You, in turn, will understand how to develop innovative and integrated solutions.

Today, multiple industries recognize how vital engineering management professionals are. Yet, decades before, Missouri S&T pioneered the discipline as a strategy for optimizing projects and systems. Reflecting this, the master’s in engineering management is one of the few programs to be certified by the American Society for Engineering Management. Further attesting to our dedication, innovation and adaptability, the Engineering Management and Systems Engineering department celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016.

As a student of this fully online program, you’ll:

• Learn about contemporary engineering management theories and concepts and their applications in managing and operating technology-based organizations
• Cultivate leadership and decision-making skills
• Strengthen your engineering knowledge and grow your understanding of business and organizational operation principles
• Develop a specialty in an area where business, engineering and technology intersect
• See what’s involved in achieving project outcomes, including optimally using resources, funding, equipment, information and engineers across multiple disciplines
• Prepare to direct projects, streamline systems and meet all objectives in an ethical and sustainable manner

Apply directly, or start exploring the field through an online graduate certificate in engineering management. As this master’s program outlines the next stage for many engineers’ careers, you’re advised to take advantage of any continuing education benefits offered through your employer to complete your degree.

Admission Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science or a physical science
• Undergraduate GPA ≥ 3.0
• Undergraduate courses: Calculus Series (I, II, III), Differential Equations, Statistics, Physics (I, II) or Chemistry, Engineering Economy
• International requirement: TOEFL ≥ 80 or IELTS ≥ 6.5, or satisfactory completion of an approved English language Institute program

This program is 100% online: no campus visits required.

Courses are semester-based. Students typically take one or two classes per semester and finish the program in about three years.

Courses are offered asynchronously, meaning they do not have regular meetings. They may consist of various media and content — such as online discussions, videos, quizzes and recordings — that students review and complete at the time of their choice.

Missouri S&T’s online master’s in engineering management requires 30 credit hours to complete the non-thesis track.

Students build their program course work in consultation with their advisor. The flowing are the required core courses offered in the program. Courses are 3 credit hours each, unless stated otherwise. The University reserves the right to change or cancel courses as needed. Refer to the S&T Grad Catalog to explore course descriptions.
