Master [Engineering Management] From University of Tennessee Space Institute

During the 1960?s graduate level engineering management programs were created to account for this educational deficit and speed the acquisition of the needed tools and skills. Today, there are over two hundred master-level programs, three ABET accredited undergraduate, and four doctorial programs in engineering management. The University of Tennessee programs are among the oldest.

Similar programs have recently appeared that appear similar to engineering management but serve a different population. Many business schools have created a Technology Management Option to their MBA programs. These programs still have significant prerequisites before an engineer can benefit from the graduate curriculum. Others have created a Management of Technology graduate degree that typically recruits a higher- level administrator than engineering management.
