Our engineering management minor is designed to help advance undergraduate leadership skills to be applied within industry. Students will learn to integrate management structures and systems into the engineering and technology environment. A minor in engineering management will broaden your knowledge and skills in project management, marketing, economics, finance and beyond.
The engineering entrepreneurship minor equips students with the knowledge, understanding and skills to help build and operate a start-up venture or innovation division within an existing enterprise. This minor imparts skills and knowledge across the functional areas of innovation management, product development, distribution and supply chains, marketing and overall business management.
About ESCEND™
ESCEND is here to help guide your entrepreneurial journey. Stop by our location in the South Engineering Lobby for any questions about Engineering Innovation or Entreprenuership. We have instructional resources, event information and funding available.
In 2007, Engineering Management began teaching undergraduate leadership courses. The success of these courses led to an expansion of engineering management undergraduate educational opportunities - including courses about technology ventures and marketing, project management, engineering economics, and entrepreneurship.
Undergraduate engineering management education grows every year because students and employers continually recognize the value of technical minds focused on business success.
