Master of Science in
Engineering Management

Key management and leadership skills are paired with technical knowledge in this degree program, which aims to meet the growing need for technically-savvy managers.

The American Society of Engineering Education, the National Science Foundation and businesses around the world agree: There simply are not enough qualified engineering and technical managers to meet the needs of the future. The mission of the Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) program at Embry-Riddle is to prepare students with an already established career in engineering, math, physical science or computer science to transition into a managerial role within a technical environment. 

One of the university’s first-ever certificate-based graduate programs offered through the Worldwide Campus, the Engineering Management master's program is a multidisciplinary program with a core that includes both technical and management focuses. Engineering professionals learn sound managerial decision-making, leadership and other business skills critical to the success of today’s firms. 

Crafted with industry partners, the degree program is uniquely structured to provide a high-reliability organizations (HRO) foundation, a degree-specific core and a certificate of the student's choice. With HRO concepts such as risk management and risk mitigation woven throughout the program, students graduate prepared to succeed in the high-risk and complex environments of today’s organizations. In addition to their core classes, students can also dig deeper and explore the topics that excite them most by choosing from a collection of 10 resume-boosting certificates. 

Courses are taught by expert faculty members who are proven leaders with industry experience to share with students. Throughout the program, students are also introduced to a number of professional organizations like the Project Management Institute (PMI)® and the American Society for Engineering Management.
