UC Irvine Introduces New Master’s of Science in Engineering Management
New graduate program targets recently graduated engineering students seeking leadership roles
UC Irvine’s The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and The Paul Merage School of Business have joined together to offer a new Master’s of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) program beginning Fall 2012. Applications are currently being accepted on a rolling basis through July 1, 2012.
The highly focused MSEM program integrates the extensive resources of both the engineering and business schools, to provide the cutting-edge engineering skills and proven, real world business practices that engineers need to become effective leaders and industry innovators. Empowered with this dual skill set, engineers are able to lead cross-functional teams and successfully bring innovative projects to market.
“Abbott Medical Optics supported the approval of the MSEM program at UC Irvine early in the process and we feel this program is sure to become one of the most prominent programs of its kind,” said James V. Mazzo, president of Abbott Medical Optics, Inc. “The prosperity of Orange County’s business community has and will continue to be enhanced by UC Irvine’s continued growth, stature and ability to attract businesses to the county based upon the availability of a solid, knowledgeable workforce.”
Terri L. Timberman, executive vice president of human resources for Broadcom Corporation commented, “We have a strong interest in the education opportunities of this program and its capability to prepare engineers for leadership roles. We feel that this program will produce graduates that can fill a growing need in our area for strong technical leaders.”
UC Irvine’s MSEM program is designed to be completed in one full-time year, with a minimum of 17 courses (45 units) beyond a B.S. in engineering or an allied field.
