Program Overview

Tailored for busy schedules, these two-year programs provide the unique opportunity to pursue a master’s degree while continuing to work full-time. What’s more, you will receive the same Master’s Degree that a traditional, full-time graduate student at The University of Texas at Austin receives. Students are presented with the best the top ranked Cockrell School of Engineering has to offer: rigorous coursework that encompasses the latest advances and core fundamentals. It is the combination of challenging curriculum, immediately applicable tools, and national recognition that prepares tomorrow’s leaders for success while equipping them with an educational experience ranked among the finest in the nation.

The Engineering Management Program (MSE EM) is designed to meet the growing demand for technical managers with strong engineering, science and technical backgrounds as well as a demonstrated understanding in management and financial issues. Students will grasp core business fundamentals through challenging courses that are uniquely tailored to an engineers’ background and future needs. A solid foundation will be built in economics, negotiations, marketing, and decisions analysis and risk assessment to lead to an executive perspective on how to successfully bring a new product to market. Students will learn to negotiate with internal and external customers and obtain the knowledge to recognize the potential success or failure of an engineering project with respect to financing the venture. Finally, the program looks at product liability, patents, and copyright issues that affect the design of engineering products and services. The final result is an executive perspective to respond quickly to better manage technical, business, and human performance processes to achieve corporate goals.

Upon completion of the program requirements, a student is awarded a Master of Science in Engineering degree with a major in Engineering Management. The program is administered by the Center for Lifelong Engineering Education (CLEE).
