  Exciting Program

The goal of the MTM degree, with a specialization in engineering technology [ENGT], is to provide students with advanced skills and technical knowledge. Individuals develop the ability to conduct applied research, along with leadership skill for managing and directing projects. The MTM-ENGT degree has specialized classes and experiences in engineering technology along with research methods, management strategies, and green design tools for today’s professionals.

  Audience

Most of the students in the Master of Technology Management program who concentrate in Engineering Technology [MTM- ENGT] hold a bachelor's degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Industrial Technology, and Applied Sciences. However, the program has welcomed students, from many different areas, that have the desire to advance to professional work through relevant advanced study and applied research in technology. The [MTM - ENGT] program includes men and women from different parts of the world, part-time and full-time students, residents and commuters. Assistantships may be available.

  Program's Requirements

To earn a Master of Technology Management [MTM – ENGT] students complete a minimum of 39 semester hours of study and must maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. The course work is composed of four phases: (1) the program core, (2) the advanced technology concentration, (3) the business operations phase, and (4) the synthesis phase. Specific courses that meet the requirements are selected by the student in consultation with the major advisor.

Check the program's flowchart.

1. Technology Core (9 semester hours) 
The technology core consists of course work in research and development, management models for technical operations, and organizational communication.

2. Technology Concentration (15 semester hours) 
This component consists of course work in the two concentration areas: Construction Management and Technology, Engineering Technology, and Quality Systems.

3. Business Operations (9 semester hours) 
The business operations component consists of statistics and course work selected through advisement by major advisor and the Director of Graduate Studies in Business.

4. Synthesis Experience (6 semester hours) 
The synthesis experience is determined based upon a student's choice of Plan I (thesis) or Plan II (major project). Problems for a thesis or major project are encouraged to be derived from the work place. The nature of the synthesis experience under each plan may differ significantly. The thesis develops the candidate's capability for applied technical research. In the major project, the student synthesizes and applies knowledge derived from the program to solve engineering technology problems, or to analyze and develop prototype mechanisms or systems.

The Tentative Degree Program (TDP) is a written agreement, between the graduate student and the University, that the program embarked upon meets the requirements of the degree. All courses that will be taken to meet the degree requirements are listed on the TDP and determined by the student and major advisor. The TDP is initiated by the student at the completion of 12 credit hours of study and must be filed with the Graduate College before the completion of 15 hours. The TDP becomes the student's academic plan and the basis for scheduling courses each term in cooperation with the major advisor.
