Eastern Michigan University's distance learning master
of engineering management program has been rated and ranked
a "Best Buy" by the editorial review team of the Web site,
GetEducated.com.
"Since the program began in 2000, the master of science
in engineering management program has been one of the fastest
and most consistently growing programs at EMU," said Tracy
Tillman, professor of engineering technology. "It is popular
because of its value and effectiveness for students, and
because our graduates provide value and are effective for
the companies they work for. Quite simply, we practice
what we preach. Value engineering is a topic that is covered
in many different ways in many of our classes. It is the
approach we used when we initially designed the engineering
management program and it is the approach that we continue
to use for continuous improvement in our program and courses."
