"Classes offered under CSUN's Engineering Management program are interesting in school and very helpful at work. I've been using a lot of the concepts that I learned from the program at work and the results have always been successful."

"Companies that offer technology need leaders who are technically strong. Undergraduate engineers often have the technical ability to lead, but soon find that's not enough. Effective leadership requires a blend of skills - business skills, management skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills, teamwork skills - a general understanding of what others in the organization need, want and expect. CSUN Engineering Management curriculum offers just that. The curriculum and materials are useful and thought-provoking. Specifically tailored to prepare engineers and technical personnel to better understand the business side of the company, while at the same time preparing them to effectively handle the daily demands placed on managers and leaders. The Engineering Management program definitely helped me become better at my job."

"I was a computer Science graduate student when I took my first class in Engineering Management, and was hooked. Engineering Management combined the management world with the technical world and gave me an opportunity to combine both into a powerful tool that helped me advance in my career. I found new and interesting areas of studies like operations research and statistics and learned how to apply them to my everyday work. The instructors were helpful and knowledgeable and were willing to sit with me and show me how to apply the material studied in class to the work I was doing in everyday life."

"I have only good things to say about the Engineering Management Program at CSUN. The professors enjoy not only teaching but also developing and inspiring future technical leaders. Upon completion of the EM program I was promoted into the Project Office at NSD, where I assume project lead responsibilities for new product development, as well as management of technical scope of work, cost and scheduling of various engineering products across NSD's product lines.
I have recently been selected as one of eleven individuals to take part in an intense mentoring program at Northrop Grumman's Electronics Systems Sector. The program is designed to provide high potential senior level professionals with significant development opportunities through a number of different initiatives and mentorship by the executive management team over a twelve to eighteen month period. I strongly believe CSUN's EM program provided me not only the quality educational background to succeed in today's highly competitive professional world but the confidence to accept the challenge."
