General Core Area (12 credit hours)

EIN 5322 Principles of Engineering Management (3 credit hours)

EIN 6386 Management of Technological Change (3)

EIN 5350 Technology & Finance (3)

EIN 6322 Engineering Management Policy & Strategies (Capstone) (3)

NOTE: The Capstone course is offered only in the Fall term, and must be taken in the graduating semester.

 

Quantitative Core Area (3 credit hours)

Note: An undergraduate statistics course, or equivalent, is a prerequisite. Otherwise, you must take ESI 5219 Statistical Methods for Engineering Managers

(This course will not count toward the 33 hours required for the degree).

 

One quantitative core course (3 credit hours) must be selected from the following three courses:

 

ESI 5306 Operations Research for engineering managers (3)

ESI 6213 theory of industrial statistics (3)

ESI 6247 statistical design models (3)

 

Job Design Core Area (3 credit hours)

One course must be selected from the following:

EIN 6108 Engineering Management: Human Relations (3)

EIN 6319 Work Design & Productivity Engineering (3)

 

Approved Electives (minimum of 15 credit hours)

NOTE: Only one course is required in each of the quantitative and job design core areas. The other courses may be taken as electives.

 

Students pursuing advanced studies in the management area may choose courses offered by other engineering departments as long as these are relevant to the student’s program of study with the prior approval of the Program Director.

 

Students seeking enrichment of their knowledge in traditional engineering fields may minor and select any electives of their choice as long as these are supportive of the basic philosophy of the MSEM program. In either case, prior approval of such courses is required by the Program Director.

 

Transfer of Credit

With the Program Director’s approval, up to 12 credit hours (4 courses) of non-degree seeking coursework taken at USF may be accepted toward the MSEM degree. Such credits must be at least "B" quality.

 

Students admitted to the MSEM program who took graduate courses at other institutions of higher learning may apply for transfer of up to six semester hours. A written application for credit transfer submitted to the Program Advisor during the first semester of MSEM studies must include formal course descriptions as published by the offering institution, class syllabi, and official transcripts with grades "B" or better.
