v Addresses the widespread need for practitioners who can apply the knowledge they gain to a business or technical environment

v Research toward the D.Eng. is applied, rather than the basic, fundamental research for a Ph.D.

v The D.Eng. empowers the student to create advanced, practice-based solutions to real-world problems

v The D.Eng. culminates in development of a praxis wherein the student engages a practical problem and, applying engineering management theories and practices, recommends a useful solution that could be used by practicing engineers

Engineering Management (D.Eng.) Bridges the gap between engineering and management. EM enables engineers to work most effectively in the business environment. A degree in EM provides a technical-based alternative to traditional business programs. Candidates specialize in such areas as management of technology, product and process, quality, organizational management, operations management, program management, marketing and finance.
