Merging Technology & Management 

The Engineering Management Systems concentration within the operations research program provides students with an understanding of contemporary technology and management. It is for students who are interested in a technical management background rather than one in a traditional engineering field. Its required courses in industrial engineering and operations research, economics, business, and computer science provide a foundation for dealing with engineering and management systems problems.
