Engineering Management Certificate
Many engineers and technical managers struggle with the "people" part of their jobs.
However, personnel management and communication are crucial to organizational success as well as career advancement and not covered in the classic engineering or technical curriculum.
The purpose of the University of Tennessee's non-credit Engineering Management Certificate program is to prepare engineers and others for technical decision-making and for increased leadership responsibility in a multi-disciplinary, technical environment.
These courses are developed and facilitated by subject experts from industry who bring their own experiences as well as draw on the experiences of course participants.
Participants, who represent a wide range of technology-based organizations domestically and internationally, share their observations and experiences during the courses, which are limited in size to encourage maximum interaction.
The Engineering Management certificate of accomplishment will be awarded upon completion of the certificate requirements.
On-site training is available in Winter 2010.
