An Accelerated Masters Program
The new Engineering and Technology Innovation Management 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.
E&TIM is a one-year interdisciplinary MS program offered by Carnegie
Mellon's distinguished College
of Engineering, one of the top ten engineering schools in the country.
It is coordinated by Engineering and
Public Policy Department 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 program runs
from January to December and includes
a summer internship. Applications are currently
being accepted for this year's program.
Interdisciplinary Approach
E&TIM builds on a convergence of Carnegie
Mellon strengths, including: strong traditional engineering programs;
successful educational collaborations across disciplines; the Strategy,
Entrepreneurship & Technological Change (SETChange) Ph.D. and
research program, the Department of Engineering and Public Policy, the
Integrated Product Development program, and broad offerings in entrepreneurship
education.
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.
E&TIM works with business and industry, to benefit both our students and the professional community. Companies can collaborate with E&TIM to frame relevant areas of study for students. Companies participate in our summer internship program and Innovation Management in Practice seminar series. Each student completes a Product or Process Innovation project course that involves a real-world client. E&TIM actively seeks companies who will serve as clients, contribute concepts, ideas or issues that would benefit from student engagement.
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.
We welcome all inquiries,
