Engineering Management Info Session (Oct 10th)

Learn More about Michigan Tech’s Engineering Management Major

A degree in engineering management from Michigan Tech positions students for management careers in the engineering field. By blending engineering know-how with a foundation in business, graduates help meet industry demand for this sought after major (offered by only two schools in the state). As a dual degree, engineering management enhances other disciplines by providing a solid backing of management, and STEM skills and hands-on experience. 

Huskies of all majors are invited to network with engineering management students and faculty from 4 to 5 p.m. October 10 in Academic Office Building (AOB) 101. You’ll learn about internship experiences, student organizations and courses and career options.

Contact Professor Dana Johnson (dana@mtu.edu) with questions. Pizza and pop will be served.
