What Can a

MEM Degree do

for You?

All engineers are innovators, but MEM graduates are the business-minded engineers that companies need to compete in today’s rapidly changing marketplace. For the MEM graduate this means greater confidence, responsibility, mobility and an accelerated career path. The MEM degree enhances your skills as an engineer by:

o Exposure to both the business and engineering sides of innovation necessary to improve business processes and assist in critical decision making to improve products, processes and delivery of customer solutions

o Experiencing an in-depth view of a variety of companies that translate into classroom projects and other experiential learning opportunities, which help to shape and refine individual skills, abilities, and career goals

o Interacting extensively in high-performing, multi-disciplinary teams, while managing real-time, real-world projects

o Exercising entrepreneurial thinking and skills needed to address the expanding role of engineers in today’s global economy
