MSEM

The Master of Science in Engineering Management Program is directed toward individuals with technical backgrounds who are moving or anticipate a move into management positions. This program develops technical management skills by combining qualitative approaches and quantitative techniques in a balanced curriculum, which strengthens engineering credentials and develops managerial competence. The MSEM Program in the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering at the University of South Florida prepares todays engineers to become tomorrows managers, leaders and entrepreneurs. The new breed of leader must be well versed in current technical alternatives, and possess the managerial skills necessary to oversee enterprises and ensure their profitability. Such a leader is comfortable making decisions where engineering insight into development, production and service is also an invaluable ingredient for success.
