The idea that people can glean a lot from data is nothing new. After all, we learn from experience and the missteps and successes of others. What is relatively new is our access to massive quantities of data — we now quantify, log, store and analyze those experiences, missteps and successes, as well as information […]
Engineering technology management can look like a straightforward amalgamation of people and project management, save for one detail. To achieve this delicate balance of direct support and overhead execution requires the right blend of technical and leadership abilities. Any management master's degree program can teach an individual contributor to organize and lead teams and keep projects on track. Only technically focused engineering management degree programs, such as Stevens Institute of Technology's online Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (MEM) program, blend critical business fundamentals with advanced technical instruction applicable in disciplines as different as industrial engineering and chemical engineering.
Cecelia Kaido earned her bachelor’s in mechanical engineering with a minor in mathematics in May of 2020. Shortly after, she began working for the global security and aerospace company Lockheed Martin. Drawn to leadership, Kaido was intensely curious about how engineering projects come together. She participated in Lockheed Martin’s leadership program and took three courses focused […]
Dr. Alparslan Emrah Bayrak has been a part of the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens Institute of Technology since 2019. His extensive knowledge of human-computer collaboration is a driving force behind his research and shapes the university’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (M.Eng.) program. Dr. Bayrak sees the overall value of the intelligent systems that are increasingly […]
The 2.5 quintillion bytes of data people generate every day are a valuable source of valuable insights. Organizations are investing accordingly, and IDC predicts the data science market will be worth $274 billion by the end of 2022. However, the buzz surrounding data science, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics has prompted some employment analysts and technologists to suggest […]
Engineers are behind many of history’s most significant innovations. From developing safer automobiles to perfecting the first spacecraft, engineers have toiled away behind the scenes doing the creative thinking, designing and building that allowed humanity to reach its loftiest goals, with the help of an engineering management degree. Today, engineers in the six major branches […]
In the past, ambitious engineers typically chose between two distinct academic and advancement pathways. Some would earn a master’s in engineering to qualify for senior-level engineering roles such as principal engineer. Others would earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) to become engineering managers. Engineering Management vs. MBA: Today, engineers who want to leverage their […]
Coding bootcamps are a fairly new phenomenon. Steven Hunter has been fascinated with computers since the late 1990s. His middle school offered a limited lineup of computer science classes, but that could not stop him from learning all he could. Once he exhausted the computer-focused elective options offered by his school, Hunter started taking apart computers, […]
Engineering Management Requirements: Traditionally, engineers and managers stayed in their own lanes. The former solved complicated technical challenges. The latter tackled issues related to operational performance, administration and planning. That dynamic is changing as technologies such as artificial intelligence automate more processes across industries. Today, staying competitive in engineering requires not only technical skills but […]
C-Suite Executives: Once, all roads led to Rome. These days, it seems they all lead to careers in data science. The big data deluge of the twenty-first century has created opportunities for strategic data analysis in every digitized field — which, in this digital era, means practically every profession. That’s why data science programs attract […]
