Engineering Management - Paper Science and Engineering Concentration

Engineering Management provides an interdisciplinary approach for addressing the complexities of today's world. Highly competitive global businesses require employees with a solid technical foundation, business expertise, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the leadership skills afforded by a broad liberal education. The Engineering Management program includes courses in engineering, business/entrepreneurship, science, mathematics, and the liberal arts. It is designed to develop your engineering and business expertise, social awareness, and interpersonal communication skills. Students earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree. Students who complete the Entrepreneurship concentration cannot also be awarded the Entrepreneurship minor.
