 Program Structure
Engineering Management is an educational path uniquely focused on preparing engineers and
technicians to perform as efficient team members, team leaders and team managers in the
engineering field.

Team leaders are required to manage all aspects of business processes and engineering functions
and must therefore possess a well-rounded management skill set in addition to engineering
knowledge and experience.

Serving the above criteria, we have designed, implemented and integrated 4 consecutive modules
within the Engineering Management Program (EMP). Each module consists of several sub-modules
which can be taken at random.

We have also created two versions of this program, namely, Standard and Professional:
