Student Information
MEM Classes will be offered at:
- Socorro main campus in classroom live
- Albuquerque via Webcast
Albuquerque Studio
2445 Alamo Avenue SE
A map is available here on the web.
The live Webcast for the Tuesday, April 8th presentation is available here.
The session targets New Mexico engineers and applied scientists for the 30-hour Master of Engineering Management degree.
Experienced research faculty lead the rigorous analytical program.
Streaming (to validated students) to all other locations
(Note: Streaming students will be allowed to 'chat online' during webcasts, however,
you will not be able to verbally interact with other students or the instructor.)
**Note to students: Classes can be attended at the Socorro main campus. Webcasts are interactive learning environments by which remote classrooms are setup away from NMT's Main Socorro Campus (this option is currently available to students in Carlsbad and Albuquerque). These classrooms have direct audio and video link with the instructor and other students in Socorro. You will be able to speak with, see, and interact with the professor and other students just as if you were actually sitting in the classroom with them - and they will be able to interact in the same manner with you. Streaming, is a delayed audio and video feed that can be viewed along with the webcast, but without the added luxuries. Streaming students will be able to "chat" or type to the instructor for feedback during webcast hours. Streaming video can also be queued up and viewed at a later date, after that particular class session. If you have questions or need clarification on these options, please contact us by e-mailing our Systems Administration Dept.**

Engineering Management Graduate Program
Master of Engineering Management
The proposed Master of Engineering Management graduate program is designed to provide select groups of working engineers (and a smaller group of on-campus graduate students) with a one-year terminal degree in Engineering Management. The curriculum is designed to be innovative and deliverable both on campus and in other areas of New Mexico via distance education. The motivation for the program are the facts that most engineers eventually have the opportunity to become managers, and most undergraduate engineering programs do very little to prepare their graduates for that career event.
Entrance into the MEM program in the New Mexico Tech Management Department requires competence in engineering, science and mathematics comparable to a calculus-based Bachelor of Science degree in am Engineering discipline or a calculus-based Bachelor of Applied Science degree. Preference for limited program slots will be given to individuals with at least 2 years work experience in either engineering or applied science.
A committee of New Mexico Tech Management and Engineering faculty will form to evaluate program applicants, and the department chair will review and finalize committee recommendations. Each student is responsible for forming a graduate committee during the first semester of full-time study or before the end of the second semester of part-time coursework.
The program consists of 21 core hours, 6 elective hours, and a 3-hour project for a total of 30 hours leading to a terminal MEM degree - Master of Engineering Management. The purpose of the core is provision of foundations in quantitative and qualitative methods that will assist the practicing (or aspiring-to-practice) engineer in a changing technological and economic environment. The core is designed for engineers, and is grounded in the notion that program participants possess the analytical skills associated with a calculus-based undergraduate bachelor of science in engineering.
The minimum of 6 hours of electives will assist program participants in gaining expertise in an area of interest and relevance to their careers. These two courses will be taken as a sequence, and participants will select their sequence with their faculty advisor(s). The elective sequence may be any approved graduate elective sequence from graduate coursework offered at New Mexico Tech. Students considering elective sequences from other graduate institutions may do in consultation with their New Mexico Tech graduate committee.
The final MEM requirement is a final project, culminating in a formal document and presentation to the faculty that is analogous to the Independent Study option available to graduate students at New Mexico Tech. Participants will benefit from designing, supervising, and executing a project that will ideally be a workplace application. This experience will aid them throughout their careers as they are faced with the need to resolve critical strategic questions and implement recommended solutions.
Engineering Management Graduate Courses
The prerequisite for EMGT 501-503, MATH 585 and 505-507 is admission to the MEM program. Engineering Management courses may not be used to fulfill the requirements of any other undergraduate or graduate degree offered by New Mexico Tech without prior approval by the chair of the other department.
EMGT 501, Management Science for Engineering Management, 3 cr, 3 cl hrs
This course will expose participants to up-to-date Management Science applications in engineering and technology organizations. Techniques include linear programming, inventory models, and material requirements planning.
EMGT 502, Financial Management, 3 cr, 3 cl hrs
This course begins with study of the interaction between financial and accounting systems and continues with a discussion of cash flow analysis. This foundation is followed by discussion of the latest in corporate financial management and capital budgeting techniques.
EMGT 503, Information Systems in Technology Organizations, 3 cr, 3 cl hrs
Databases and the interaction between database information systems and organizational decision processes. Data mining and other topics relevant to data- and technology-intensive organizations. Discussion of the optimal information system design and implementation.
