Preparing the Next Generation of Engineering Leadership.
Our Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (MEM) Program gives students business skills while increasing their technical depth through coursework, team projects, and dynamic class discussions.
Engineering Management (MEM) Program Options
There are two equally engaging and robust ways to earn your MEM degree.

MEM On-Campus (Ithaca) Program
You’ll learn to identify problems, analyze data, and interpret results for managerial action. Based in Ithaca, NY, this program combines engineering courses with business and labor relations courses from Cornell’s Johnson College of Business and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

MEM Distance Learning Program
Advance your career without pausing it. Designed for ambitious working professionals, our online, asynchronous Engineering Management M.Eng. program lets you build leadership skills while working full-time. Plus, immerse yourself in hands-on learning during a one-week intensive session on campus in Ithaca, NY each year.
“The format and structure of the courses I’m taking prioritize real-world application above abstract theory. This approach is very helpful to me as a working professional because it gives me skills that I can use right away. The curriculum achieves a harmonious mix that lets me advance my administrative skills and keep my technical engineering advantage.”

Distance learning offers flexibility while working full-time
I schedule classwork during the evenings, use Saturday as my backup day if necessary, and do no work on Sunday. I’ve also taken time off from the program – life, work, and school converged so much so that I took one semester off.

Mastering management through distance learning
Most classes are asynchronous. The flexibility and autonomy are very important for me as a working professional with family commitments.
