Engineering Management by Portable Media

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program is available by portable media to specific members of the military and students with qualifying bachelor's degrees and work experience.

Engineering management is a unique field that applies engineering principles to business practice. ODU's program combines principles of science and systems engineering with project management tools and skills.

Your coursework will build on your training and engineering experience. You'll graduate ready to address the design, operation, analysis, and transformation of complex problems.
