Degree Awarded:  Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a Major in Engineering Management 

Many of today's global businesses require graduates with interdisciplinary skills in engineering and business.  This program provides you with an interdisciplinary education in engineering, business and management, science, mathematics, and liberal education.  You choose an engineering specialty and a thematic sequence of courses in another discipline, as well as a variety of choices within the foundation courses of the Miami Plan.  This broad educational experience will help you address technological problems in their large organizational and societal contexts.  You can gain valuable work experience by participating in a co-op or internship program.  As a graduate, you will be qualified to fill technical positions that require interaction with business aspects of operations, purchasing, personnel, accounting, and marketing.   Examples of such positions include technical sales, line supervision, purchasing environmental protection, and quality control.

The electronics and computing technical speciality provides a solid foundation in electrical and computer engineering while developing the skills necessary to manage the development of products, including computers, and other electronics.  This technical speciality complements Miami's institutional objectives to support Ohio's emphasis on increasing STEM-related programs.  Graduates can have an impact on the needs of a global society whose reliance on electronics and computing is ever-increasing.
