Ph.D. or D.Eng. in Engineering Management

Traditional on-campus programs .

Click the links below to learn more about our options for doctorate programs in Engineering Management:

Program Overview

The Ph.D. in Engineering Management is designed to prepare rising scholars and researchers to develop unique knowledge that expands the field of engineering management. Engineering management at GW is concerned with interactions among management, policy, and technology development; management for risk and resilience; and the management of design and operations for socio-technical systems.

Students work directly with a faculty advisor to formulate their research focus, write and publish their dissertation, as well as participate actively in professional and research-focused conferences in the field of engineering management and systems engineering.

The Ph.D. program is based on GW’s main campus in Washington, D.C. (Foggy Bottom), which lies in close proximity to a wide array of federal agencies and other organizations with significant engineering management challenges and interests. Faculty and doctoral students have built collaborative relationships that benefit from and support these organizations.

To learn more about our doctoral program, please explore our EMSE website to meet our faculty and learn more about our major research themes:

Technology, policy, and management

Complex systems design and operation

Risk, resilience, and decision-making

Data and models for socio-technical systems

Please visit the GW Bulletin to see a description of the program requirements.

Admissions Requirements

If applicant has obtained a master’s degree, a minimum grade point average of 3.5 (on a scale of 4.0) is required.
If applicant has only obtained a bachelor’s degree, the minimum grade point average must be a 3.3 (on a scale of 4.0).

Faculty Advisor & Research Focus

We strongly recommend that prospective doctoral students determine a faculty member in the department with whom they would like to work, as well as the research area of interest.

Download Faculty & Research Factsheet (PDF)

The Doctor of Engineering in Engineering Management is designed for practitioners who wish to apply the knowledge they gain in a technical management environment. Unlike a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), wherein research is focused on foundational work that is published, the D.Eng. requires solving a real-world problem using the latest engineering management concepts and tools. The program culminates in a praxis for use by practicing engineers to address a common concern or challenge.

We strongly recommend that prospective doctoral students determine a faculty member in the department with whom they would like to work, as well as the research area of interest.

Main navigation

The PhD program requires three years of full-time graduate study, at least two years of which must be at Stanford. Typically, however, students take four to five years after entering the program to complete all PhD requirements. The University requires a minimum of 135 units for a PhD, up to 45 units of which may be transferred from another graduate program, or used toward a master's degree at Stanford.

Areas of research

Breadth requirement, qualification procedure requirements, degree progress and student responsibility.

Oral examination

Doctoral students are required to take a number of courses, both to pass a qualifying exam in one of these areas, and to complete a dissertation based on research which must make an original contribution to knowledge. The PhD is generally organized around the expectation that the student acquires a certain breadth across all areas of the department, and depth in one area.

The current areas are: Computational Social Science Decision and Risk Analysis Operations Research Organizations, Technology and Entrepreneurship Policy and Strategy Quantitative Finance

Each student admitted to the PhD program must satisfy a breadth requirement.

All first year students are required to attend and participate in MS&E 302 Fundamental Concepts in Management Science and Engineering, which will meet in the Autumn Quarter.

Each course session will be devoted to a specific MS&E PhD research area. At a given session, several advanced PhD students in that area will make carefully prepared presentations designed for first-year doctoral students regardless of area. The presentations will be devoted to: (a) illuminating how people in the area being explored that day think about and approach problems, and (b) illustrating what can and cannot be done when addressing problems by deploying the knowledge, perspectives, and skills acquired by those who specialize in the area in question.

Faculty in the focal area of the week will comment on the student presentations. The rest of the session will be devoted to questions posed and comments made by the first-year PhD students.

During the last two weeks of the quarter groups of first year students will make presentations on how they would approach a problem drawing on two or more of the perspectives to which they have been exposed earlier in the class.

Attendance is mandatory and performance will be assessed on the basis of the quality of the students’ presentations and class participation.

Each student admitted to the PhD program must pass an area qualification procedure. The purpose of the qualification procedure is to assess the student’s command of the field and to evaluate his or her potential to complete a high-quality dissertation in a timely manner. The student must complete specified course work in one of the areas of the department. The qualification decision is based on the student’s coursework and grade point average (GPA), on the one or two preliminary papers prepared by the student with close guidance from two faculty members, at least one of whom must be an MS&E faculty member, the student’s performance in an area examination or defense of the written paper(s), and an overall assessment by the faculty of the student's ability to conduct high-quality PhD research. Considering this evidence, the department faculty will vote on advancing the student to candidacy in the department at large.

The qualification procedure is based on depth in an area of the student’s choice and preparation for dissertation research. The qualification process must be completed by the end of the month of May in the student’s second year of graduate study in the department. The performance of all doctoral students will be reviewed every year at a department faculty meeting at the end of May or beginning of June. PhD qualification decisions will be made at that time and individual feedback will be provided.

The PhD qualification requirements comprise the following elements:

Courses and GPA: Students must complete the depth requirements of one of the areas of the MS&E department. All courses used to satisfy depth requirements must be taken for a letter grade, if the letter-graded option is available. Course substitutions may be approved by the doctoral program advisor or the MS&E dissertation advisor on the candidacy form or on a request for graduate course substitution form. A student must maintain a GPA of at least 3.4 in the set of all courses taken by the student within the department. The GPA will be computed on the basis of the nominal number of units for which each course is offered.

Paper(s): A student may choose between two options. The first option involves one paper supervised by a primary faculty advisor and a second faculty reader. This paper should be written in two quarters. The second option involves two shorter sequential tutorials, with two different faculty advisors. Each tutorial should be completed in one quarter. In both options, the student chooses the faculty advisor(s)/reader with the faculty members’ consent. There must be two faculty members, at least one of whom must be an MS&E faculty member, supervising and evaluating this requirement for advancement to candidacy. The paper/tutorials must be completed before the Spring Quarter of a student’s second year of graduate study in the department if the student’s qualifying exam is during the Spring Quarter, and before the end of May of that year otherwise.

Area qualification: In addition, during the second year, a student must pass an examination in one of the areas of the MS&E department, or defense of the written paper(s). The student chooses the area/program in which to take the examination. This area examination will be written, oral, or both at the discretion of the area faculty administering the exam. Most areas offer the qualifying exam only once per year, which may be early in the second year.

Each doctoral student’s progress is reviewed annually by the MS&E faculty. Typically, this occurs at a faculty meeting at the end of Spring Quarter, and appropriate email notifications are sent over the summer to the students and their advisors. It shall be the responsibility of the student to initiate each required step in completing the PhD program. To maintain good standing in the PhD program,

First year students must: 1. Complete 30 units, including MS&E 302 and doctoral courses taught by faculty in their research area; 2. Develop relationships with faculty members who can potentially serve as dissertation advisor or reading committee member. A faculty member is more likely to accept the responsibility of supervising the research of a student whom he or she knows fairly well than a student whose abilities, initiative, and originality the faculty member knows less. It is recommended that students participate in research rotations with MS&E and related faculty to facilitate the development of these relationships.

Second year students must: 1. Complete at least two one-quarter research rotations or tutorials, or one two-quarter research rotation, tutorial, or research paper, continuing to develop relationships with faculty members who might serve as dissertation advisor or reading committee member; 2. Pass an area qualifying exam or defense of the written paper(s); 3. Submit a candidacy form signed by at least one MS&E faculty member with whom they have or will complete research rotations, tutorials, or papers, and listing the course requirements agreed upon by both the student and the program advisor; 4. Complete 30 units, including most, if not all, of the required courses listed on the candidacy form; 5. Be advanced to candidacy by the faculty.

Third year students must: 1. Submit a progress form listing the dissertation topic and signed by the dissertation advisor (if the dissertation advisor is not an MS&E faculty member, the form must also be signed by an MS&E faculty member who agrees to be on the student's reading committee, as well as the student's point of contact within the department); 2. Complete 30 units, including any remaining depth courses.

Fourth year students must: 1. Select a reading committee (a dissertation advisor and two readers) with at least one member from the student's major department, and submit the reading committee form signed by each member on the reading committee; 2. Make satisfactory progress on their dissertation as determined by their dissertation advisor; 3. If the student has not transferred any previous graduate units to Stanford, complete 30 dissertation units.

Students beyond their fourth year must make satisfactory progress on their dissertation as determined by their dissertation advisor and approved by the faculty. Indeed, the dissertation advisor will have to present the case to (and seek approval for good standing of the student from) the faculty in the annual faculty meeting for student review. It should be noted that each student inherently has to pass the oral examination (see below) and submit their dissertation before their candidacy expires.

Oral Examination

As administered in this department, the University oral examination is a defense of the dissertation; however, the candidate should be prepared to answer any question raised by any members of the Academic Council who choose to be present. The examining committee consists of the three members of the reading committee as well as a fourth faculty member and an orals chair. The chair must be an Academic Council member and may not be affiliated with either the Department of Management Science and Engineering nor any department in which the student's adviser has a regular appointment; emeriti professors are eligible to serve as an orals chair. It is the responsibility of the student's adviser to find an appropriate orals chair. The University oral examination may be scheduled after the dissertation reading committee has given tentative approval to the dissertation.

The student must be enrolled in the quarter of their oral examination. Students should schedule three hours for the oral examination, which usually consists of a 45-minute public presentation, followed by closed-session questioning of the examinee by the committee, and committee deliberation. The student needs to reserve a room, and meet with the student services manager to complete the oral examination schedule and pick up other paper work. This paperwork, along with an abstract, needs to be delivered to the orals chair at least one week prior to the oral examination.

Depending on the work environment, common job duties of an engineering manager may differ. Some of these tasks include coordinating, directing, and managing activities in engineering firms and companies. They often manage teams of engineers and oversee projects from start to finish.

Most engineering management professionals work in offices within organizations. Still, some may be found in research laboratories and industrial production plants. Depending on the industry, some managers operate on building and construction sites.

Engineering managers work full time, though overtime is often a part of the job. To meet critical deadlines, managers may be called on to work outside of normal work hours.

How much money can I make with a doctorate in engineering management?

The United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics – Occupational Outlook Handbook reports the median annual wage for engineering management professionals in May 2021 was $152,350. BLS indicates that the lowest 10 percent of engineering managers earned less than $99,350 while the highest 10 percent earned over $208,000.

The annual wage varied with geographic location and industry. This means a manager working in the scientific research and development services field earned a higher wage than an engineering manager working in government or manufacturing.

Aside from BLS, we examined earnings for engineering managers listed by PayScale–a global compensation research company that collects data on salaries. PayScale reported the average pay for a manager as of October 2022 was $119,225.

PayScale reported the most significant impact on pay was experience. The more experience a manager has, the higher the earnings. Entry-level engineering managers with less than five years of work experience earned a total compensation of approximately $109,000. Compensation included salary, bonuses, and overtime pay.

Experienced engineering managers with ten to twenty years of experience earned just under $125,000. Employers often view a doctorate degree in engineering management as representing significant experience. When negotiating salary, having a PhD might be helpful.

What is the career outlook for an individual with a doctorate in engineering management?

Since there are a limited number of management positions, jobs are highly desired and competition may be fierce. Candidates for engineering management positions can expect competition for job openings. Those with experience and education, such as a PhD in engineering management, should see the most opportunity for advancement.

Within five years of the start of the program (seven years for direct admits), students must complete their research proposal and successfully defend it to a committee of three members, at least two of which which must be from the EMSE Department. Students have a maximum of two attempts to successfully pass their research proposal defense.
Within seven years of the start of their PhD program (nine years for direct admits), students must complete their research dissertation and successfully defend it to a committee of five members, at least three of which must be from the EMSE Department and one must be from outside the EMSE Department. Students have a maximum of two attempts to successfully pass their dissertation defense.

Preliminary/Qualifying Exams

The Qualifying Examination is the principal means of determining whether a student qualifies as a candidate for the doctoral degree and progress to the second stage of the program. Its purpose is to ascertain that the student's background and intellectual development are adequate to support doctoral research in the central field. The DQE will be offered in January (both parts) and September (only data analysis). Before taking the examination, students must have completed the core courses and 27 credits (nine courses) of their required coursework and have the DegreeMap finalized. Students must also submit a Doctoral Qualifying Exam Checklist to the doctoral coordinator.

The Qualifying Examination consists of two parts: a two-part written examination and a focus area exam.

Written Exam (Part I)

This exam consists of a two-hour, in-class exam covering EMSE 6765 and an eight-hour, take-home exam covering EMSE 8000 and EMSE 8001 . Both exams are offered during the last week in January. The EMSE 6765 -based exam is also offered during the last week in January. Students should apply to take this exam before the end of the preceding semester.

Focus Area Exam (Part II)

The Focus Area Exam is both a written and oral exam. Students must take this exam by the end of the semester following the successful completion of DQE part I (i.e., student will nominally complete Part I in January, and must take Part II in the third week of May). Students should register for EMSE 8999 for the semester in which they are taking the exam.

Students have three options for the basis for their oral defense:

A conference or journal paper, on which they are the lead author. If it is a conference paper, the full paper must have been peer-reviewed.
A seminal journal paper in their focus area. Their advisor and examining committee must approve the paper.
A 10-page literature review on a topic in their focus area. They have two weeks to complete the review.

In all cases, students are required to defend the work in front of a committee. The committee must consist of three faculty members, at least two of which are full-time in EMSE. Oral exams are approximately one hour long.

At the discretion of the committee, a student who fails any part of the qualifying examination may be given a second opportunity to attempt qualification for candidacy. Usually, only the failed portion of the examination must be retaken. Students who fail to qualify for candidacy in a doctoral program of the School are considered to have failed on a school-wide basis and will not be admitted to further doctoral study within the School.

After successful completion of the DQE, the candidate's advisor will present the academic record of the candidate and request the formation of a research committee. The Department votes on (provisional) admission to candidacy and the research committee. The research committee must be formed before the proposal defense (described below) and must consist of the student’s advisor and two other faculty members, at least one of which must be full-time. Once the student is admitted to candidacy for the degree, he/she begins specialized study and research under the supervision of their research committee. At this point the research committee remains fixed unless a change is formally requested and approved by the department chair and advisor.

Publication Requirements

Students are given 18 months from completion of DQE Part II to be accepted into a pre-approved conference for presentation on a topic relevant to their research. This presentation must be co-authored by their adviser. Failure to do so will result in termination of their candidacy in the doctoral program.

Dissertation

Proposal defense: After acceptance to a conference, students are required to present a written dissertation proposal to their research committee and to successfully defend the proposal in an oral defense. This proposal should consist of, at a minimum, an introductory chapter, a review of the literature chapter, a methodology chapter, and a chapter on potential results. The Request for Proposal Defense form must be filed and approved two weeks prior to the defense. The Form 5 Doctor of Science Dissertation form is present at the proposal defense and, after a successful defense, is signed by all committee members. After the defense, the advisor in collaboration with the student submits, in writing, a copy (signed by student and adviser) of all suggestions, clarifications, and corrections to the proposal along with the signed Form 5 to the doctoral coordinator within four weeks of the defense. Failure to do so will void the defense. The doctoral coordinator forwards the Form 5 to the department chair for signature. Students are given a maximum of two attempts and a maximum time limit of two years past the semester in which they pass their DQEs to successfully defend their proposal. Failure to do so will result in termination of their candidacy in the doctoral program.
Final examination/doctoral defense: Once the dissertation has been completed and accepted by the faculty advisor and research committee, students may file a Request for Final Examination form with the Doctoral Coordinator. This form must be filed and approved by the department chair at least two weeks prior to the final examination date. Approval is granted only when all required materials have been presented to the doctoral coordinator. The required materials include a completely filed Request for Final Examination Form, a copy of the journal article with reviews, resumes of outside evaluators and electronic and written copies of the dissertation. The final examination is oral and open to the public. The candidate must demonstrate mastery of the special field of study and of the materials and techniques used in the research. The committee of examiners may include qualified experts brought to the University especially to participate in the examination. The director of research usually serves as advocate for the candidate. Students should consult department regulations concerning the formation of the committee. The committee votes on the quality and originality of the candidate’s contribution to knowledge as well as their mastery of the scholarship and research techniques of the field. Upon a majority vote for pass, the committee recommends the candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The vote to pass may be provisional based on committee recommendations for changes to the dissertation in terms of additional analysis, writing or clarifications.

Seminar and Colloquia Requirements

As described in the Publication Requirements section above, students are required to present in a pre-approved conference on a topic relevant to their research. In addition, students are also encouraged to present and participate in departmental research seminars.

Graduation and Scholarship Requirements

Students are responsible for knowing the university’s minimum GPA requirement for graduation and scholarships. Please visit the Graduation and Scholarship Requirements section on the GW Bulletin to read the requirements.

Students should contact the department for additional information and requirements.

Program Goals & Philosophy

Goals/Principles

The goal of the program is to prepare graduates with the appropriate technical depth and breadth of knowledge so that they may be successful educators, researches, and practitioners in the management of complex human technological systems. The program will follow three principles in pursuit of this goal. In addition to passing the required coursework, students must also pass a comprehensive examination to demonstrate a mastery of Principles 1 and 2.

Principle 1: Provide a Solid Foundation and Depth in Engineering Management Theory and Practice

A solid fundamental understanding of a field is essential in order for students to be considered an expert in that field. This is true for Engineering Management as well. It is the fundamentals that a student will need to expand upon in order to contribute new knowledge to the field of engineering management. We place an emphasis on the fundamentals of the management of complex human technological systems and an emphasis on the modeling and analysis of such systems.

Principle 2: Provide Breadth Across Multiple Types of Human Technological Systems

Principles, tools, and fundamentals of engineering management have been rooted in engineering and manufacturing systems. These tools have also been successfully applied to other systems such as service and transportation/logistical systems. Today engineering managers can be increasingly found in banks, hospitals, amusement parks, airlines, and a variety of delivery agencies. On the surface, these industries appear different however; they all involve people, materials, information, equipment, energy, and capital. Therefore, the program will emphasize case studies and examples within the coursework that are applications in the following three areas:

Engineering and Manufacturing Systems
Service Systems
Logistical Systems

Principle 3: Contribute to the body of Knowledge in Engineering Management

A requirement of any Doctorate of Philosophy Program in Engineering is the expectation that graduating students will contribute to the body of knowledge in their chosen field by conducting research. This will be demonstrated by graduating students successfully completing a doctoral dissertation. Students conducting dissertation research will be guided by a selected advisor and advisory committee. Students must pass a dissertation approval examination in order to ensure they are prepared to conduct research. Upon the successful completion of research, graduating students will document the research results in a dissertation. Dissertations will be defended in front of advisory committees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the career options for an online ph.d. in engineering management degree.

Although an online Ph.D. in Engineering Management can open doors for graduate students, it is also important to know that many degrees come with career-based options. In other words, providing specific career paths and tailoring the curriculum to a certain goal serves to help the students focus their education as best they can.

“Practice-based” programs refer to degrees that will pave a way forward toward working as an engineering manager in the business sector. Students may also seek leadership roles in companies that work in the engineering industry. Graduates may also hold employment as consultants who freelance for the business sector or as contractors who work for the government.

“Academic-based” programs refer to degrees that enable students to work as researchers and academics in the engineering management field. These programs aim to prepare students for careers as professors at the university level or as researchers employed by companies devoted to development and research. Graduates may also be employed by the government as analysts, helping to solve critical infrastructure issues.

Regardless of the path pursued, graduates can also become authors, whether for publications, nonfiction books, or textbooks. Graduates from both types of programs may also become entrepreneurs in the field of business technology, although some business acumen is often required for these types of roles.

How Much Can You Earn in This Field?

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median pay for engineering managers was $137,720 per year, or $66.21 per hour, as of May 2017. The highest 10 percent earned more than $208,000, and the lowest 10 percent earned less than $88,050.

These salaries can be further broken down by industry:

Government: $128,450 per year
Architectural, engineering and related services: $135,770
Manufacturing: $137,790
Management of companies and enterprises: $143,360
Scientific research and development services: $159,400

However, due to the different pathways available after one earns his or her doctoral degree, salaries may differ based on the technical recognition of the program. In addition, some engineering managers may receive more benefits such as bonuses and expense accounts than non-managerial employees.

What Are the Various Disciplines of Engineering Management?

Since engineering management is an industry that combines business and engineering, students may find a number of disciplines in their curricula such as math, science, research, computer science, engineering, and more.

However, not all degrees take the same approach; there are different pathways depending on the disciplines offered, mainly because students will be faced with these various disciplines after they graduate, and they must learn about them at the university level prior to earning their degree. For instance, students taking a practice-based pathway can expect disciplines in accounting, management, and business. Students looking to work for a multicultural company may benefit from cultural courses. Similarly, students attending prestigious schools may have the opportunity to take advanced-level language courses to further develop their knowledge.

On the other hand, academic-based degrees focus more on academic and research, exposing students to different theories and allowing them to put these theories into practice in a laboratory setting. Academic-based degrees also include the disciplines of statistics, finance, economics, academic writing, and more, and they typically require a foundational understanding of the history of engineering.

What Are the Requirements for Admission into a Doctorate in Engineering Management?

Although no two online Ph.D. in Engineering degree programs are alike, many of the requirements are shared by universities across the country:

One to three years of work experience in the field of engineering
Personal essay
Official transcripts from previously attended institutions
An ABET-accredited graduate or undergraduate degree
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores

The GRE requirement is often debated in terms of whether it should be considered as a standard for admission into these programs. In fact, more schools are dropping the GRE requirement for doctoral programs, explaining that students enter a doctoral program after earning a master’s degree, thus there really is no need to request these scores for admission.

What is the Curriculum Like For an Online Ph.D. in Engineering Management Program?

Many online Ph.D. in Engineering Management programs offer coursework online and, in some cases, their entire degrees online. However, universities and colleges have been slow to change classroom studies into fully online studies simply because of the value that residency requirements hold. Ph.D. programs heavily rely on collaboration with advisors to help students guide and develop program research, finding a degree that closely matches their academic and career needs with classroom and online study. In addition to the Ph.D. degree, some students choose to follow the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) pathway in engineering management. Although both degrees are a doctorate, the Ph.D. focuses more on science, while the DBA emphasizes the business aspect of the industry.

A typical online Ph.D. in Engineering Management is offered in a webinar format, allowing students to receive online instruction by experienced faculty in live lecture settings. Using high-speed Internet access, students interact with classmates and instructors. Students may also collaborate via email as students consult with faculty during specified online office hours or discuss the lectures with their classmates. Courses in the Ph.D. in Engineering Management program typically include:

Research Methods in Science and Technology
Group Study in Systems Engineering
Engineering Risk Analysis
Engineering Support and Decision-Making Systems
Foundations of Systems of Engineering
Information Technology and Project Management

During the majority of three- to five-year Ph.D. programs, students are required to complete a doctoral dissertation on a topic relevant to their academic or career goals. Example dissertations cover areas such as improving project management, personal virtual communications, real-time terrain modeling, human behavior modeling in computer programs, and airport dynamics.

Why Should You Get a Ph.D. Instead of an M.S. in Engineering Management?

It all boils down to opportunities. Experienced engineers who earn a doctoral degree in engineering management can land desirable teaching positions and advance to leadership positions in their current organizations. Graduates may also choose to teach or conduct research at the university level. Teams of engineers are typically responsible for managing workflow in a global workplace, and so employers look for applicants who have experience and skills in handling a vast range of engineering situations. In most cases, workers from different countries collaborate on a team, looking for leadership experience and guidance from those who have developed these skills in the Ph.D. program in order to accomplish project objectives.

As an instructor, the Ph.D. program further enables students to participate in the development and presentation of new ideas to scholarly engineering communities and organizations. Teachers with Ph.D. degrees present research findings at conferences, advise students in research and study, and prepare lessons for field- or classroom-based instruction. Although some positions can be obtained with an M.S. in Engineering Management, through their ideas, research, and work, Ph.D. candidates are better-equipped to help shape the world in which we live.

Is Accreditation Important For an Online Ph.D. in Engineering Management?

Many students understand the importance of accreditation no matter the degree. In fact, doctoral degrees that are not accredited by an independent body can actually harm graduates who are looking for employment. Today, most employers prefer students who can show evidence that they hold a doctorate from a regionally or nationally accredited university or college.

Students looking to further their education by pursuing a doctoral degree in engineering management should consider programs that hold recognition from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Not only does ABET accreditation boost that specific program’s reputation and, therefore, a student’s work application, but it also signals an industry standard that is shared by that program’s outcomes and curriculum. Program-specific accreditation is also the mark of a rigorous, comprehensive degree that introduces students to more advanced concepts and ideas that are generally known in the engineering and technology field.

Compared to unaccredited degrees, accredited programs are usually more competitive, meaning that students are not always guaranteed a spot in the university or college. In turn, this competition results in a stronger focus on internships and education, enabling students to gain real-world, hands-on work experience while continuing their coursework.

Regardless of whether the program was conferred online or in-person, employers prefer accredited degrees. Therefore, it makes sense for students to try their best to secure a seat at a school that holds accreditation from a national or regional accrediting body. Thanks to the use of computers, accredited programs are easier to find than ever; all students need to do is to focus only on schools that have been recognized by the ABET.

Earning a doctorate in engineering management is a smart move for students who want to continue their education but who are also looking to cultivate a promising career. With the help of the AS staff, graduate applicants can have a sense of what these online programs are like, from the specializations and courses that are available to the month/year rotations. The above schools are not only among the most affordable in the country, but they have also gained national recognition and respect for their online Ph.D. in Engineering Management programs.

Doctors collaborate with electrical and computer engineers to create better techniques and tools for everything from diagnoses to surgical procedures. Electrical and computer engineers are needed to make these tools as informative, safe, and affordable as possible.

ECE-trained students will improve the tools of diagnosis to give doctors useful information, and to cut the cost for patients. ECE researchers have made MRI with clearer images and CT scanswith a lower dose of X-ray radiation, lasers that could monitor glucose levels without a needle, and sensors that can track glaucoma symptoms from inside your body. You can also help develop new tools like brain probes that give us previously unseen looks at how our bodies work.

This project created an algorithm to create high-quality CT scans from a much lower dose of radiation. CT scans require a high X-ray dose to create a quality image for doctors to examine a patient, but this algorithm greatly reduces that dose.

Florida Poly expands engineering horizons with two new master’s degrees

New master’s degrees in mechanical engineering and electrical engineering are being offered at Florida Polytechnic University this fall.

Florida Polytechnic University is expanding its educational offerings this fall with the addition of two new, industry-driven master’s degrees: Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.

“Introducing two master’s degrees in these critical fields shows Florida Poly’s commitment to providing students with the specialized STEM education they need to thrive in high-wage, high-demand careers,” said Dr. Devin Stephenson, the University’s president. “These degrees offer a powerful new pathway to both personal fulfillment and economic success, positioning graduates at the forefront of innovation.”

This expansion of the graduate program is a key element of Florida Poly’s broader growth strategy, driven by the increasing demand for the institution’s offerings.

“We are excited to strategically expand our curriculum in alignment with the growth of our campus,” said Dr. Brad Thiessen, Florida Poly’s interim provost and vice president of academic affairs. “This change further fuels our University to become the state’s top source of talented engineers.”

The new graduate program options replace a master’s degree in engineering that offered specialization tracks in each of the disciplines.

Ryan Sullivan, associate director of graduate and transfer admissions, said the new mechanical and electrical engineering degrees support the state’s priority of developing Programs of Strategic Emphasis in alignment with economic and workforce needs.

“These degrees will be more in line with the marketplace and what the industry demands from students graduating from these fields,” said Ryan Sullivan, associate director of graduate and transfer admissions.

The first cohorts of students began their programs this fall semester. Those already pursuing the previous engineering degree have the option to transition to the updated curriculum.

“This new electrical engineering degree can make you more marketable and will add to the strong success our graduates experience,” said Dr. Muhammad Rashid, Florida Poly’s interim chair of electrical, computer and cybersecurity engineering. “All the students so far who graduated from the master’s program found a job right away, and now it will be even easier for those who have a master’s degree in these specific engineering fields.”

Both new degrees will be available to students who would like to pursue either a coursework or thesis path. Additionally, they are available as part of the University’s popular 4+1 degree program, which enables students to earn graduate credit while completing their undergraduate education, thereby accelerating their path to a master’s degree.

The new graduate degrees are part of ongoing academic development at the University. They join bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering and industrial engineering that were added in 2023, and master’s degrees in data science and engineering management in 2022.

In all, Florida Poly now offers five master’s and 12 bachelor’s programs, as well as the 4+1 degree program.

These additional program options will make Florida Poly graduates more marketable, as enrollment in these and other graduate degrees grows, said Dr. Matt Bohm, Florida Poly’s chair of mechanical and industrial engineering.

“One of the biggest benefits of this is students will have an easier time being hired for high-level engineering jobs because hiring managers will immediately recognize their qualifications and skills,” Bohm said. “The quality of our graduates will become even more well known in the engineering community.”

Graduate applications for 2025 are now being accepted.

It was previously known as Kuznetsk until 1931, and as Stalinsk until 1961.

Founded in 1618 by men from Tomsk as a Cossack ostrog (fort) on the Tom River , it was initially called Kuznetsky ostrog ( Кузне́цкий острог ). [2] It became the seat of Kuznetsky Uyezd in 1622. [3] Kuznetsk ( Кузне́цк ) was granted town status in 1689. [3] It was here that Fyodor Dostoevsky married his first wife, Maria Isayeva in 1857. [13] Joseph Stalin 's rapid industrialization of the Soviet Union transformed the sleepy town into a major coal mining and industrial center in the 1930s. It merged with Sad Gorod in 1931. From 1931 to 1932, the city was known as Novokuznetsk and between 1932 and 1961 as Stalinsk ( Ста́линск ), after Stalin. As a result of de-Stalinization , it was renamed back to Novokuznetsk .

As of the 2021 Census , the ethnic composition of Novokuznetsk was: [14]

Ethnic group	Population	Percentage

[15] As a municipal division , Novokuznetsk City Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as the Novokuznetsky Urban Okrug . [15] [16]

On 7 December 2009, by a resolution of the Novokuznetsk City Council of People's Deputies, a new version of the City Charter was approved, [16] according to which the authorities consist of:

Novokuznetsk City Council of People's Deputies (representative authority),
Mayors of the city of Novokuznetsk,
Administration of the City of Novokuznetsk (executive and administrative authority),
City Control Committee (permanent body of financial control),
Judicial institutions: district courts, courts of general jurisdiction, the Russian Agency for Legal and Judicial Information, the permanent judicial presence of the Kemerovo Oblast Court, judicial divisions of magistrates, and others. [18]

The Novokuznetsk City Council of People's Deputies is a representative body of power and consists of 18 deputies elected in 18 single-mandate constituencies and 18 deputies elected on party lists. The term of office of deputies is five years.

In September 2021, elections were held for the Council of People's Deputies, following which the seats in the council were distributed as follows: 27 - United Russia , 2 - Liberal Democratic Party , 2 - A Just Russia , 2 - Communist Party . The representative of United Russia, Alexandra Shelkovnikova, was elected chairman.

The Youth Parliament of the city operates under the City Council of People's Deputies. [19]
