Dual Masters of Science in Engineering & Technology Innovation Management and in MSE

The Engineering and Technology Innovation Management (E&TIM) MS program builds upon the technical strengths of engineers and scientists by providing frameworks to lead, foster, and manage technical innovation. This unique, cross-cutting approach allows students to develop capabilities for leading innovation while growing and leveraging their own areas of technical expertise. Overall, E&TIM equips students to drive value creation from technical innovation based on their understanding of technical concepts, innovation management fundamentals and real world implications.

E&TIM is an interdisciplinary MS program offered by Carnegie Mellon's College of Engineering. It is coordinated by the Department of Engineering and Public Policy with collaboration from other schools, including the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management , the Department of Social & Decision Sciences (in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences) and the Tepper School of Business.

The basic structure of the program is as follows. The core of the E&TIM program emphasizes the fundamentals of innovation management in theory and practice. Electives, chosen in conjunction with a faculty advisor, enable students to focus the program to their technical interests and to specific topics in technology innovation management processes, policies or organizations. In addition, a required summer internship project will provide hands-on corporate experience in E&TIM.

The Dual Degree Program of E&TIM allows applicants to advance their depth of technical expertise by pursuing dual MS degrees in both the Materials Science and Engineering program and the Engineering and Technology Innovation Management program. Students would qualify for the E&TIM Dual Degree program by completing the Masters of Science (Course Option) degree program that includes 96-units of coursework, as well as the E&TIM program requirements. The proposed timing of the dual degree program can be found at the Dual Degree Program pages.
