Master of Science Engineering Management

Team Management

CSUN’s online Master of Science in Engineering Management (MEM) prepares you to manage teams, projects and resources in technical and engineering settings.

Through this program, you will learn how to:

• Manage projects
• Lead technical teams
• Introduce sustainable innovations
• Reduce project risks
• Develop an entrepreneurial mindset
• Optimize production, manufacturing and more

Designed by engineers for engineers

The MEM program’s faculty used their decades of real-world industry experience to create a course of study that combines the best in business, management and engineering practices.

The result is an online program packed with content and skills crafted just for you, the engineer looking to transition into a management role.

That means the curriculum to manage:

• Supply chains
• Big data
• Emerging technologies
• Industrial manufacturing
• Complex systems
• Cross-functional engineering teams

And behind each academic principle is the promise of applied practice. This MEM program weaves design concepts and projects directly into the curriculum. Many occur in team-based settings, with projects done in collaboration with faculty and leading practitioners.

A degree that works right away

Through carefully chosen case studies, you’ll gain an inside look at the successes, shortfalls and methods of major businesses. Applying those lessons to your own work is surprisingly simple.

In fact, what you learn in class can be applied on the job the very next day. Each lesson is a new tool, a powerful method, a priceless insight. And it’s all usable immediately.

Additionally, this program provides the necessary hours of project management education in order to be eligible to sit for the Project Management Institute (PMI) CAPM certification exam.

Building a global perspective

With deep international experience across varied nations and sectors, the program’s faculty understand the importance of a global perspective. Their long list of international credentials is more than a brag sheet – it’s a promise. A promise of what you can expect.

Which, in this case, means firsthand knowledge of the practices, behaviors and opportunities of the global business environment. All projects and assignments are designed to mold you into a global thinker, capable of understanding how resources, systems and organizations behave on the international level.

Such thinking is essential to tech giants, like Alphabet, Amazon and Facebook, as well as leaders in manufacturing, finance, telecommunications and more.

Excellence in education starts with you

CSUN’s instructional design experts work closely with faculty to integrate course content with the university’s distinct “student-first” philosophy. Which means services to support your success, in both education and beyond.

Fully online – Taught by the same faculty as CSUN’s on-campus, award-winning engineering management program, this online option is the same great education, offered where and when you want it. That way, you can keep working full time as you earn your MEM degree.

Cohort learning – Under this format, you proceed with the same classmates from the start of the program to the finish. This allows you to build professional relationships with peers, and leads to on-time graduation rates of more than 85 percent.

The support to finish – A personal program manager is assigned to you on day one. These specialists keep you on track with dedicated, one-on-one support and automatically enroll you in all required courses.

Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management

Upon graduating with your MEM degree, you will also receive the CSUN University Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management. This is a built-in benefit, requiring no additional classes or course work. Which means the entire program teaches the innovative, out-of-the-box thinking needed to build an entrepreneurial mindset.

Along with gaining global perspective, you’ll learn to:

• See value where others cannot
• Take calculated risks and understand rate of return
• Approach problems with fresh perspectives
• Stay a step ahead of the global market

This applies to new business ventures as well as established firms. That’s because longstanding businesses now rely on smart entrepreneurial thinkers to help them see new and exciting opportunities. This certificate lets you be that person – the entrepreneur within the firm, or intrapreneur, guiding the organization’s innovative spirit.

Whether you are launching a high-tech startup, leading an entrepreneurial unit from within, or working in a senior position in a mid-size or large engineering firm, this program gives you the knowledge, practices and potential to take the next step – to learn, to lead, to move ahead.
