The Engineer's MBA
Studies have found that most
successful organizations are managed by people with experience in the core
business of the organization. In the case of technology-based companies, this means
individuals with an engineering or technical background. Too often, the lack of
solid management skills has prevented engineers from assuming top-level,
decision-making positions.
For more than thirty years, MSOE
has provided the management and leadership skills that prepare engineers to
take on management challenges. The MSEM degree is as comprehensive as a
traditional MBA, with the added benefit of being oriented to people working at the
cusp of technology and management. Today, our graduates can be found in
leadership positions, including top management roles.
Industry-focused
Your classroom experience focuses on the practical aspects
of business. You will:
- Engage in activities that deliver measurable benefits to an organization
- Participate in group projects that strengthen team building and cohesiveness
- Problem-solve situations that are common to businesses
- Gain hands-on experience with business processes, such as Project Management, Lean and Six Sigma
- Experience learning that can be applied the next day in your workplace
The same industry focus applies
to our faculty, who have extensive industry experience. They bring a rich
background of best practices into the classroom. They can relate management
theory to real-world practices.
The
MSOE Advantage
An MSOE master's degree is valued throughout the business
world, whether it is locally, regionally, or nationally. That's because our
graduates are accustomed to meeting uncompromising standards and delivering results.
Class sizes are small, typically
fewer than 20 students, which gives you more personal interaction within the
classroom.
Convenient
Scheduling
Classes are offered on a part-time or full-time basis. Classes meet one evening a week making it easier fit them into your schedule.
You also can choose to take courses in Blended, Internet format. This option combines the rich faculty/student interaction that is the hallmark of an MSOE education with the flexibility of online learning. The MSEM provides one program option whereby all the courses can be complete in Blended, Internet format in less than two years.
You
also have a choice of locations as classes are available at MSOE's main campus
in downtown Milwaukee and in Neenah, serving Fox Valley students.
