COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Science in Engineering Management curriculum at Lawrence Technological University provides a comprehensive blend of core courses and electives designed to develop leadership, technical, and strategic management skills for engineering professionals. The core courses establish a strong foundation in essential management and engineering principles, including enterprise productivity, Six Sigma processes, production planning and control, engineering supply chain management, quality engineering systems, engineering management, and technology management. These courses equip students with the tools to analyze processes, optimize operations, manage resources, and implement quality systems across diverse engineering environments. Beyond the core, students can choose five electives from a wide array of options, allowing them to tailor their studies to align with career goals and industry demands. Elective offerings include lean manufacturing systems, product development and sustainability, hazardous materials management, advanced manufacturing processes, automotive manufacturing, quality control, engineering economics, advanced optimization techniques, applied stochastic processes, manufacturing systems, special topics in engineering management, value engineering, product innovation and design, graduate-directed study in mechanical engineering, project management, reflective leadership, and ethics and business in society. This flexibility ensures that students can deepen their expertise in areas such as manufacturing, supply chain, quality assurance, innovation, or leadership, depending on their professional interests. The program emphasizes the integration of technical knowledge with managerial insight, preparing graduates to lead multidisciplinary teams, make strategic decisions, drive process improvements, and manage complex engineering projects. By combining rigorous coursework with practical applications and elective specialization, the program prepares students to take on leadership roles in engineering, manufacturing, technology, and related industries, equipping them to influence organizational performance, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute meaningfully to innovation and growth.
