Corporate Affiliates are a key component to the success of the program.

They provide the real-world problems for capstone projects, on which interdisciplinary teams of students work with participating corporations and faculty to solve problems requiring both technical and managerial skills.

Because such graduates are in short supply at most universities, many businesses have to spend significant amounts of time and money to bridge the training gap for new employees.

The Technology and Management Program enables undergraduate engineering and management students to learn each other’s language through coursework in their respective fields and teamwork to solve real-world problems.

 Cross Training Business and Engineering Students

Current students in engineering and management are excited about the program. They recognize that their desired career paths will demand a strong skill set in both disciplines. The Technology and Management Program sets them apart from graduates of other universities.

Students enter the program in their junior year and pursue a prescribed course of study while satisfying requirements for a bachelor’s degree in their engineering or management major.

Admission to the program is highly competitive with an initial enrollment between 60 to 80 students. The program targets an equal balance of students from the College of Management and the College of Engineering.
