ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT AT STEVENS

Through an integrated curriculum, the engineering management bachelor's degree program combines a strongengineering core with training in data analysis and visual-ization, process and project management, engineering design, systems integration, and managerial economics.The program prepares students for careers that involve thecomplex interplay of technology, data, organizations, andeconomics. Students are empowered to become decisionmakers who are able to engineer high-quality, cost-efficient, and technically complex systems, products, and processes.

High-technology companies in consulting, financial services, information technology, manufacturing, pharma-ceutical, telecommunications, and other industries utilize

the concepts and tools of Engineering Manage-ment (EM). These technology-based companiesrecruit EM graduates for their expertise in thesetools and techniques to fill a critical need to

integrate engineering andbusiness operations.

What is

EngineeringManagement

A major portion of the engineers’ role has changed fromsolely performing technical operations to being involved inthe integration of engineering, technology and business operations. With this shift in the engineering/business

environment, the education ofengineers must reflect thischanging demand as well. TheEngineering Management disci-pline fills this critical education

need by graduating engineers who under-stand the increasingdemand for efficiency,effectiveness and inte-

gration in engineering and business operations across varied industries.

Page 3: Engineering in Engineering Management

By combining courses in systems, engineering and data

analytics, we provide the right mix of technicalcontent to prepare engineers and scientists to

assume positions of increasing responsibility. The information age has produced problems that are complex,

interdisciplinary and economically driven. More companies require their engineering personnel to obtain the

skills that can increase and improve efficiency and effectiveness within a product, process or system.

Our Engineering Management program is designed by industry to meet these challenges. Through the use of

multiple delivery methods, we have developed aprogram that is on the leading edge of

engineering education.

Engineering Management is a Bachelor of Engineering degree that requires the same fundamental engineeringcourses taken by all other engineers. Plus, it is designedto provide additional learning in the necessary skill areassuch as.

- Engineering Design and Analysis

- Systems Engineering

- Logistics and Supply Chain Management

- Operations Research

- Operational Effectiveness

- Informatics

- Data Mining and Risk Assessment

- Operations Management and Process Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering in EngineeringManagement

The Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Management(BEEM) program, within the School of Systems and Enter-prises (SSE), provides an education based on a strong engineering core, complemented by studies in business,technology, systems and management. The course selec-tion offered by this major exemplifies the Stevens interdisciplinary approach to developing strong problem-solving skills. These skills prepare graduates for careersthat involve the complex interplay of technology, people,economics, information and organizations.

The BEEM program requires 48 Courses(equivalent to 143 credits) and is accredited by the Engineering Accredi-tation Commission of the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology

(ABET). Most BEEM studentschoose to pursue concentrationsand/or minors.

Concentrations

EM students can select their concentration elective courses among two technical electives and three general electivesin various ways. Some of the students may wish to cluster those electives in ways that would help them gain expertisein an area of specialization within Engineering Management. The following groupings are possible concentration areasthat students can select from within the EM program:

Systems Engineering

EM 357 Elements of Operations ResearchEM 489 Data Mining and Risk AssessmentEM 585 Intro to Systems Architecture & Design

*Students in the Financial Engineering concentration should take E243 and EM364 in place of EM365.

Advanced Degrees Program

The School of Systems and Enterprises offers a unique “4+1 program” designed for Stevens undergraduate engineeringstudents, of junior standing, who wish to jointly pursue a master’s degree concurrently with their undergraduate degree.These students can enroll in the following master's degree programs: Systems Analytics, Sociotechnical Systems, orSystems Engineering. These graduate degrees provide students with an interdisciplinary approach to the design of com-plex systems that will be effective, reliable and supportable throughout their operational life.

*Requires a grade point average of at least a 3.0.

Cooperative Education

The Cooperative Education program at Stevens provides “real-world experience” to students while they pursue their education. The success of the program is built on the capabilities and enthusiasm of the co-op students and the challenging work assignments provided by the co-op employers. About 40 percent of EM students are enrolled in the Cooperative Education Program.

At Stevens, we believe that cooperative education is first and foremost a powerfully effective educational process. Co-op is built on a theory/practice model of learning that unfolds through five increasingly sophisticated work assign-ments. In addition to the educational benefits, co-op helps students clarify and test their career goals and earn moneyto pay part of their college expenses.

Senior Design

Senior Design is the culmination of an engineering management education, typically spanning three semesters betweenjunior and senior year. The scope of the project is decided in discussion between a sponsor and the Stevens senior design coordinator. A suitable project is one that provides value to the sponsor, is appropriate to the time scale, andmeets the academic requirements of the program.

Sponsorship provides a context for the project that can afford the students a meaningful bridge to the "real world" ofprofessional work. In keeping with this, our goal is to have students work on cross-disciplinary teams so that they gainexperience in the type of environment that they will experience in their careers.

Sponsored Senior Design can significantly benefit both the students and the sponsoring organization. Recent industrialsponsors have included the Department of Defense, City of Hoboken (NJ), Federal Aviation Administration, Iron Moun-tain, Johnson & Johnson, Lockheed Martin, the Systems Engineering Research Center, United States Department of Energy and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Engineering Management Honor Society

Stevens Institute of Technology houses the Beta chapter of Epsilon Mu Eta, the Engineering Management Honor Society. In addition to being eligible for engineering honor societies such as Tau Beta Pi, excellent academic and community service allows consideration for membership into the Engineering Management Honor Society as well.

American Society for Engineering Management

The American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) exists to help its members to develop and improve their skillsas practicing managers of engineering. Stevens has a chapterof ASEM which holds regular events for students on campus.Some of these events include resume writing workshops, careerpanel discussions, and visits with the US Military Academy at West Point’s chapter of ASEM.

Professional Development

The EM course offerings give the foundationfor interested students to take certification

exams in Project Management, Quality Manage-ment, and Systems Engineering or the prestigiousFundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam (part of theProfessional Engineer License). Students can alsojoin professional organizations like: the AmericanSociety of Engineering Management (ASEM), International Council on Systems Engineer-

ing (INCOSE), and the EngineeringManagement Honor society.

Tidbits of History

The first course in“Business Engineering”

was taught at Stevens in 1897.

Frederick W. Taylor, classof 1883, and a Professor of Engi-

neering Practice until 1915, is knownas the “Father of Scientific Manage-ment.” Along with Taylor, Alexander C.Humphreys, Henry L. Gantt and Hans J.Lang are just some of the Professors

who have taught in the area of Engineering Management at

Stevens.

Engineering Manage-ment can trace its rootsat Stevens back to the

formation of a Departmentof Business Engineering

in 1902.
