ENGM 690. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT MASTER PROJECT (Formerly MEM 690)
Technical project complete with written report or thesis. This will be a publishable and significant report on an investigation into a scientific and/or engineering management topic which has been approved by the School of Engineering. Three credits

The Engineering Management Project should be the last course taken in the Master of Engineering Management program. It replaces the traditional master's design project or thesis. It is jointly administered by the course instructor and the management representative of the student's company or activity. The objective of the project is to solve an existing engineering management problem of such complexity in the company that the solution requires the application of principles learned in two or more courses studied while in the program.

At least one month prior to registration for this course, the student shall submit a project proposal to the course instructor. This proposal will identify the nature of the management problem to be solved with predicted consequences. It must also bear certification from the student's management representative that the problem is authentic, and its solution will be considered among the various problem solutions evaluated by management.

Once the project has been completed, preferably with results obtained by its implementation, a written report will be submitted, accompanied by an oral presentation to a select committee. The management representative of the student's company or activity will evaluate the quality of work done, but the final grade will be assigned by the course instructor.
