Engineering Management Master’s Degree

Administered by the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

The Engineering Management Program focuses on developing an individual’s engineering, science, and management skills so they can succeed in a technology driven environment. There is a growing need for engineers that can build multi-disciplinary design teams, then lead those teams to solve technical and business challenges. The Iowa State University Master of Engineering in Engineering Management program is designed to train leaders who can meet both the technical and managerial challenges in developing modern complex engineered systems. The program can be completed online or in residence, part-time or full-time.
