The Engineering Management program is committed to educating and strengthening engineering management graduates’ knowledge and leadership to enable them to assume positions of increasing technical and managerial responsibility. The department is dedicated to graduating engineering managers who excel in building novel and creative engineering solutions and have an impregnable ethical sentiment and keen interest towards society benefits and prosperity. This is achieved by offering an education that is based on a strong engineering core, complemented by studies in business, systems, and management which contributes to the national economy. The Master in Engineering Management program bridges the gap between academia, industry, and technology by providing students with the engineering management, leadership, and technical expertise skills needed to advance their careers.
In addition, it provides a golden opportunity to produce applied research that serves both the industry and academics.
