Engineering Technology Management Program
Associate Professor Neslihan Alp, Director
The engineering technology management program is an interdisciplinary program leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. The purpose of the program is to provide quantitative and qualitative engineering, technology, and management skills for problem solving. The program is intended to serve as advanced preparation to serve a leadership role in a technical or service organization. There are two concentrations in the program: Engineering Management and Construction Management.

ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT COURSES (ETEM)
350 Introduction to Project Management (3)
Examination of the identification, selection, and planning of projects. Specific topics include: organization structure, project selection and scope definition, project team selection and development, work breakdown structures and statements of work, project scheduling (PERT/DPM) and budgeting, resource allocation, risk management planning, and project controlling. Project management software is applied. Fall semester. Lecture 3 hours. Prerequisite or Corequisite: ENGR 352. May be registered as ENIE 350. Credit not allowed in both ETEM 350 and ENIE 350.
354 Work Measurement and Design (3)
Techniques for analysis and improvement of work methods; principles of motion economy, process charts, work sampling, standard data development, performance rating, predetermined time systems, and wage incentive systems. Emphasis on man-machine interfaces (ergonomics) and productivity improvements. Computer applications and design project included. Spring semester. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 3 hours. Prerequisites: ENGR 222 or Management 211 with a grade of C or better. May be registered as ENIE 354. Credit not allowed in both ETEM 354 and ENIE 354.
