The elective courses require approval from the student’s advisor.

Master’s Project Option (3 credits)
Students in the proposed program may choose to conduct a Master’s project (3 credit hours) to complete the degree program, which requires a comprehensive study on a critical issue in Engineering Management. The Master's project will replace the technology elective course.
