Overview
About the program
A graduate program for engineers moving into leadership. You study how technical work is planned, funded and led, and how technology choices shape strategy.
The Engineering Management program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers engineering leadership, technology strategy, engineering economics, project and portfolio management, operations management, and ends with innovation management.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
