The sessions will include material on how the new program enhances technical degrees by teaching the global leadership skills required by the engineering industry. As a one-year nonthesis M.Eng. student, the engineering leadership and innovation management program will provide the expertise to lead cross-cultural teams, identify new business opportunities, manage projects and promote internal innovation. The program will require 30 credits and an innovation, leadership capstone experience.
