Master of Science in Engineering Management (30 hrs.)
Trine University will prepare learners enrolled in the Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) program for various leadership, management, and technical roles in technology, engineering, research and development, industrial and manufacturing organizations. The MSEM program offers three specializations from which students may choose: Operational Excellence (OPEX), Systems Engineering (SE), and a self-designed option comprised of both OPEX and SE courses.
Trine University MSEM graduates will “succeed, lead, and serve,” in their future employment through the application of project management, new product innovation and development, statistical analysis, and organizational leadership. A core of seven courses is required for every MSEM student including the foundations of executive communication, Total Quality Management (TQM), and a comprehensive capstone project which serves a culmination of the knowledge and skills acquired through the MSEM program.
Students pursuing the OPEX specialization will also apply Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) methodologies, advanced plant management, and operations strategy to create and foster enduring success applicable in any business sector. Students pursuing the SE specialization will emerge from the program with a comprehensive knowledge of the Systems Engineering process and the ability to apply Model Based Systems Engineering (MBD) as well as operate and manage Systems Testing and Validation events.
