The Management Engineering program is offering a Bachelor of Science degree in Management Engineering. The program is designed with the aim of providing an interdisciplinary foundation to its graduates to integrating complex technical understanding with high-level management skills by gaining depth in business administration principles and applications while being able to use the complex technical knowledge with a holistic view and capability of integrating all kind of relevant information in making decisions. With their complex knowledge of management and engineering, graduates of this program are prepared to design and provide solutions for manufacturing and service organizations, take leadership roles in their place of work, or pursuing research work at graduate level.
The Management Engineering program requires a total of 144 credit hours: 27 credit hours from university core, 19 credit hours from faculty core, 74 credit hours from area core, 15 credit hours from area electives, and 9 credit hours from university electives. Regular course load for students in Management Engineering program during fall or spring semesters is 5 or 6 credited courses (between 15-19 credit hours) whereas in summer semester the students can take at most 2 courses.
The first year of the Management Engineering program is dedicated to foundation courses in mathematics and basic sciences (freshman calculus, physics, and chemistry), and some University core courses. The program includes courses like computing and programming, engineering graphics, and courses on management skills. Apart from calculus courses there are two concentrated mathematics courses on Linear Algebra & Differential Equations, and Probability & Statistics. Students are also required to take two Communication in English courses. Additionally, Management Engineering program offers flexibility for students to build up their background with elective courses according to their own career goals. The program undergraduate curriculum culminates in a two-semester capstone senior design course sequence that should have a significant design component with formal reports. At the end of each semester, a presentation is given before faculty, students, guests, and if possible sponsors. Teams of students device solutions to engineering problems submitted by faculty, or if possible industry and the community at large.
In sum the undergraduate program requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Management Engineering are 24 percent in Mathematics and Basic Sciences, 39 percent in Engineering Topics and Design (including core courses and area elective courses), and 37 percent in General Education courses in Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and others.
Courses offered by the program are focused on the following core topics: Operations Research, Work Study and Ergonomics, Engineering Economy, Production Planning, Simulation, Information Systems, Facilities Planning and Design, Quality Engineering. Case studies, laboratory work, intensive computer usage and technical report writing are among the requirements of most coursework. Students have to complete three separate industrial trainings in industrial production plants.
