MS Engineering Management

Fall Term, Online
Covers the principles and practices of administration of engineering and science activities, including nature of management, organization, planning, controlling action and measuring results, management of human resources, communication and decision-making.

Fall Term, Live & Video Conference
Covers assessing condition and performance of transportation, water resources or distribution infrastructure. Measurement and evaluation of asset vulnerability (internal), hazard (external) and mission exposure (consequence of failure or shortcomings). Conclude risk and reliability of the asset with respect to safety (integrity), functionality (support of demand) and durability (life cycle serviceability). Work will support decisions on scoping and sequencing maintenance, repair, expansion or replacement projects.

Winter Term, Live & Video Conference
Planning and coordination of infrastructure system programs involving multiple integrated projects, from conception through design, construction and operation. Includes definition of program mission and objectives; assessing asset conditions; establishing physical limits; stakeholder identification introductory organizational structure, risk and sustainability analysis; team assembly and governance; defining performance and status reporting metrics.

Winter Term, Online (5 different options)
This elective is chosen by each student to suit individual needs. Examples include Project Planning, Scheduling and Control; Engineering Economics; Communications.

Spring Term, Live & Video Conference
Covers scoping and sequencing of an infrastructure program with consideration of inputs such as stakeholder (interested and affected parties) concerns, social and environment impact mitigation, and resource allocation. Includes collaboration in developing, optimizing and ratifying expectations of facility performance, system operability and sustainability in a life-cycle analysis.

Spring Term, Online, Live & Video Conference
This course is centered on a group project that develops a real-world, engineering- intensive submission for approval by a regulatory agency, a codes or standards body, or a financial group. The team will prepare and present the report to the designated approving entity.
