About the Program

The goal of the Rowan University Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is to effectively prepare engineers for management level positions. Students in this program receive knowledge of administrative procedures such as budgeting, strategic decision making, and supervising. Also, the combination of courses from Rowan’s College of Engineering and AACSB accredited Rohrer College of Business equips students with the ideal balance of advanced technical knowledge and managerial skills required to advance as managers. The Online Master of Engineering Management program is designed to make it convenient for working professionals to attend class and continue to pursue their engineering management career goals.

ENGR 01501	Special Topics in Engineering: Systems This course is designed to introduce students to emerging topics in the engineering field. Consent of the instructor is necessary, and prerequisites are determined by the nature of the topic.	3
MGT 06677	Management Skills for Engineers Technical skills are necessary but insufficient for success in engineering management. It is also necessary for engineering managers to be effective motivators and leaders. In this course, students will also learn optimal techniques of hiring and rewarding engineers.	3
EM 01512	Quality in Engineering Management This course covers a range of topics related to quality in engineering management including the following: concepts and philosophy of engineering quality management, leading engineers, data analysis, engineering quality assurance and results, engineering quality methods and tools, continuous process improvement, total quality management within engineering, six-sigma, quality costs, customer satisfaction in relation to engineering design and quality, vendor relationships and quality, benchmarking engineering practices and products, statistical process control, quality function development, and case studies of quality in engineering management.	3
MGT 06666	Managing Engineering Teams Technical skills are necessary but insufficient for success in engineering management. It is also necessary for engineering managers to be effective motivators and leaders. In this course, students will also learn optimal techniques of hiring and rewarding engineers.	3
EM 01501	Engineering Economics This course covers a variety of topics in engineering economics including the following: making economics decisions, equivalence and the time value of money, spreadsheets and economic analysis, present worth and equivalent annual worth, internal rate of return, benefit?cost ratios and breakeven analysis, replacement analysis, depreciation and income taxes, inflation, value engineering, and decision-making tools.	3
EM 01511	Strategic Risk Management This course deals with a range of topics related to risk management including the following: risk terminology, tools for quantitative analysis of environmental and technological risks, social risk issues, risk in modern life, statistical analysis, data presentation, dose-response models for carcinogens, model limitations, models of risk aversion, psychological and community perceptions of risk, risk communication, environmental and health risk issues in the media, and case studies of accidents and incidents.	3
MIS 02526	Project Management for Engineers In this course, students will learn the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) as put forward by the professional association, the Project Management Institute (PMI). Students will not only study the various phases and documents of project management, they will also have experience creating each of the documents for a given project.	3
