The School of Engineering offers qualified Santa Clara University undergraduates the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree in their technical discipline and a Master of Science degree in Engineering Management and Leadership in five years. This is an excellent path to continue your technical education while learning the essential skills required to manage high-tech projects and people. It is an excellent way to save time and open up more career possibilities early on. The degree program is open to students in bioengineering, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, software engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
The Engineering management and leadership degree focuses on how we work--the management of technical activities through which the manager integrates physical and human resources. Technical managers ensure that personal and organizational objectives are realized by coupling task and process in the achievement of objectives primarily in the areas of research, development, design, operations, testing, marketing, and field services. Engineering management and leadership coursework encompasses these activities and the ways in which they interface with other activities within organizations.
