A flexible Interdisciplinary Program
The E&TIM program core provides fundamentals for leading technical innovation. Through electives, the program offers the flexibility to address specific management and technical interests.
For example, an E&TIM student has a range of choices for innovation management electives:
To pursue research, development and engineering, choose courses on entrepreneurship, technology commercialization, product design and development.
To focus on global technology policies and management, choose electives on international business theory, science and technology innovation policy, technology and economic growth.
To serve as organizational change agents, choose courses in managing intellectual capital, negotiation and customer strategy.
Because of CMU's broad technical strength, technical focus possibilities span traditional engineering and technical disciplines as well as interdisciplinary areas. The College of Engineering includes Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Engineering and Public Policy, Materials Science Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
Exciting possibilities for technical focus in E&TIM may also be found at the intersection between disciplines, where Carnegie Mellon has particular strength. Topics such as energy, green engineering, information technology, infrastructure systems, nanotechnology , Quality of Life Technology, robotics and more are potential areas for technical focus.
