Master of Science in Operations
and Engineering Management
Michigan State University's College of Engineering and the Eli Broad Graduate School of Management cooperatively educate students for manufacturing and engineering positions in the 21st century global marketplace through their integrated degree program: the Master of Science in Operations and Engineering Management.
The innovative five-year integrated degree program offers a select group of students the opportunity to gain engineering expertise in their chosen undergraduate major (mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and applied engineering sciences majors) and combine it with the graduate management training necessary for success in today's technologically sophisticated, environmentally conscious manufacturing arena.
This dynamic combination of degrees provides upward mobility to management and executive ranks and added job security in an era when even highly skilled professional jobs face the possibility of being outsourced.
Students learn in the classroom, in the laboratory and on the industrial job site how to design, develop, manufacture and market high-quality, economically competitive, environmentally friendly products. They learn total quality management skills, oral and written communication skills, and they grapple with the ethical questions necessary to advance a capitalistic society while sustaining the planet's natural habitat.
