The joint Engineering Management specialization is an interdisciplinary program linking the MBA and MS in Engineering degree programs. It is a cooperative effort between the College of Engineering (Industrial and Manufacturing Engineerin g Department) and the College of Business. Students are required to have a prerequisite degree in engineering, computer science, or similar technical degree to be admitted to both the College of Engineering and the College of Business, and to be enrolled in both degree programs. Successful participants will be awarded both MBA and MS in Engineering degrees each with a specialization in Engineering Management.

The three major objectives are:

1) to integrate knowledge and skills from engineering and business disciplines for effective responses to rapidly changing technological and business environments;

2) to prepare engineers for effective participation in management of technology, management of technology-based organizations, and management of technological change; and

3) to take advantage of the unique background of program participants and the unique strengths of Cal Poly.
