Should I be interested in E&TIM?

Yes, if. . .

You are an engineer or scientist concerned with the creation of economic and social value through innovation.

How is my E&TIM course of study designed?

1.) The core courses are the starting point: Managerial and Engineering Economics; Strategy and Management of Technology, a Product/Process Innovation project, and seminars with innovation management practitioners and thought leaders.

2.) Technical interests drive a second component. Carnegie Mellon offers world-class graduate courses to take your technical education to the next level. Technical courses may be concentrated in a single engineering department, or selected across departments to create a unique technical focus.

3.) Innovation management electives emphasize different facets of innovation management. Select from courses in: Industrial R&D and Entrepreneurship; International Business and Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy; and Innovating in the Context of an Organization.

4.) The summer internship project provides a real world experience in an organization that is leveraging engineering and technology to create value.

What financial obligations are anticipated for the 2013 E&TIM MS degree program?

Tuition for the one-year MS program in Engineering and Technology Innovation Management is $47,600 for 2013. The full-time program begins during the spring term, includes a summer internship, and concludes at the end of fall term during the same calendar year. In addition to tuition, students also need to cover costs for off-campus room and board, insurance, transportation, books and supplies, and miscellaneous expenses.

Partial financial support (a tuition reduction scholarship) is offered by the program on a competitive basis. Scholarships are merit-based, awarded on the strength of an applicant's admissions package. No additional application is required. International applicants are also considered for this award.

Additional financial considerations include Carnegie Mellon University fees and estimated graduate student living expenses (though located on the CMU Office of International Education website, estimates are applicable to any student living in Pittsburgh, whether international or US citizen). These estimates are updated for each academic year, so check back for future semester estimates.


How do I apply to the E&TIM program?

See the How to Apply page.

 

What is the E&TIM Dual Degree option?

E&TIM students may apply for dual degrees with traditional engineering programs at Carnegie Mellon University. In this case, a fall semester start and a lengthened program schedule may be required. More information can be obtained from the E&TIM Dual Degree page. To express interest in the dual degree program option for E&TIM, please contact us.

 

Are there opportunities for E&TIM students at Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley?

Yes! A bicoastal curriculum to take advantage of the software engineering management strengths and Silicon Valley immersion at Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley is an option for E&TIM students starting in 2009. Please contact us to express you interest in the Silicon Valley campus.

 

Professors from across the colleges at Carnegie Mellon come together to share business and technical expertise.

 

"Ideas are reinforced and become cohesive across the different courses of the program; discussion topics are presented as tools that can be used to understand real-life scenarios."
