MEM, MME or MSEM graduate programs are grounded in principles such as data analytics, machine learning, product management, product design, operations, and supply chain management.
[1] Harvard Business Review found that in 2018 more of the top-performing 100 global CEOs have engineering degrees than have MBAs.
However, that has begun to change with two major accreditation bodies that have sought to bring rigor and structure to the Engineering Management graduate degree programs: American Society of Engineering Management (ASEM), and Master of Engineering Management Programs Consortium (MEMPC).
ASEM states that "program is designed to provide recognition to those programs that excel in offering education at the Master’s level that meet the rigorous standards of ASEM.
"[5] The Master of Engineering Management Programs Consortium (MEMPC) is a dedicated group of forward-thinking universities working together to promote engineering management programs to students and organizations.
