MeM   

 

Josh's Testimony

The MEM program gave students an excellent opportunity to learn important topics in today's competitive manufacturing environment, as well as how to manage these important aspects. A great aspect of the MEM program course flexibility, beyond the core MEM curriculum students were allowed to select any 500 and 600 level courses that would be the greatest benefit to their professional career. I was able to study the technical side of engineering management, as well as, take courses such as Professional Ethics, which gave me insight on how to deal with important ethical issues in a professional environment. I was able to complete my degree by taking classes at night, which was also a very important aspect of the program. I would highly recommend this challenging, yet rewarding, degree program to anyone that has the desire to boost their career in the management, manufacturing and engineering field.
