Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Doctoral Degree Programs

The PhD in Engineering Management is for current professionals or those with experience in the field of engineering design, manufacturing and service. Students will pursue a deep proficiency in this area using an interdisciplinary methodology, cuttingedge courses, and dynamic faculty. Graduates will contribute significantly to the Engineering Management field through the creation of new knowledge and ideas.

As your PhD progresses, you will move through a series of progression points and review stages by your academic supervisor. This ensures that you are engaged in a process of research that will lead to the production of a high-quality Thesis and/or publications and that you are on track to complete this in the time available. Following submission of your PhD Thesis or accepted three academic journal articles, you will have an oral presentation assessed by an external expert in your field.

All required courses are offered exclusively online in a 16-week asynchronous format.

Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, graduates will be able to

  • Evaluate the legal, social, economic, environmental, and ethical impact of actions within Engineering Management and demonstrate advanced knowledge and competency to integrate the results in the leadership decisionmaking process.
  • Demonstrate the highest mastery of traditional and technological techniques of communicating ideas effectively and persuasively.
  • Evaluate complex problems, synthesize divergent/alternative/contradictory perspectives and ideas fully, and develop advanced solutions to Engineering Management challenges.
  • Contribute to the body of knowledge in the study of Engineering Management.

Notes


  • This program may be completed with a minimum of 60 credit hours, but may require additional credit hours, depending on the time required to complete the dissertation/publication research. Students who are not prepared to defend after completion of the 60 credits will be required to enroll in RSC-899, a one-credit, eight-week continuation course.
  • Students are required to be continuously enrolled/registered in the RSC-899 course until they successfully complete their dissertation defense/exegesis.
