Program Description:

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) graduate degree program is available to off-campus students residing both in and out of the United States. The program equips practicing engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist them in effectively managing engineers and other technical resources to accomplish complex technical tasks.

Students will develop an economic, technical and human resource perspective for the technical managerial decisions they will face. They will be equipped to react to changes in domestic and international markets, workforce dynamics and emerging technologies and be able to plan for the future success of their businesses. All courses are offered online. Students never need to come to campus for any course work and will travel to the Kansas State university campus only once at the end of their program for an oral examination which is conducted by their supervisory committee.
