Dear Zonia, could you or your friends introduce engineering management and its main courses. and elaborate a little about the application of engineering managment in real world, and more pragmatic question is what will be an expected career path? a similar question is what do you think is the chemistry between MEM and MBA and what benefit NU want to get out from such program? Thanks, -- by 会员 51xt (2010/8/19 20:11:57)
Hi 51xt,
I'm not MMM student, so it took some time for me to ask around for your question. I hope these answers can help:
1. MEM and its main course:
MEM: Engineering management is a course with a primary focus on product design and operations, project management and innovations, this course is particularly suitable for individuals who has the aspiration in technological industries, product development and supply chain operations. The courses are categorized as Core, Design electives and Operations Electives, the following are a couple of courses in each category.
Core subjects: Designing and Managing Business Processes, Design Thinking
Design electives: Management of Product Design and Development, Introduction of New Products and Services, Innovation Frontiers
Operations electives: Computer Simulation for Risk and Operations, Logistics and SCM
2. Real world application of EM
With a combined focus on design and operations, EM has a wide application in real world, from tech / manufacturing company management, high-tech consulting, PE / VC to starting new enterprises for new products or innovation.
3. Career Path
This really depends on your original background and personal aspirations, but from what i heard and saw, people from MMM pursue a really wide spectrum of jobs from really frontline manager in design / operations to backend strategy formulation.
4. MMM v MBA
Altho I didn't chose MMM program, I would think the dual degree program is giving you an opportunity to advance your technical knowledge and management skills at a reasonable timeframe, particularly if you are planning to go into careers which requires understanding on technology, product and operations. MBA is great to help you develop the softskills but MMM is just as good to develop your hard core toolbox. It is a great program and gave you the best of both worlds I'd say.
Hope these answers help!
Good luck!
