Preparing the Next Generation of Engineering Leadership.
Our Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (MEM) Program gives students business skills while increasing their technical depth through coursework, team projects, and dynamic class discussions.
Engineering Management (MEM) Program Options
There are two equally engaging and robust ways to earn your MEM degree.
-
MEM On-Campus (Ithaca) Program
You’ll learn to identify problems, analyze data, and interpret results for managerial action. Based in Ithaca, NY, this program combines engineering courses with business and labor relations courses from Cornell’s Johnson College of Business and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
-
MEM Distance Learning Program
Advance your career without pausing it. Designed for ambitious working professionals, our online, asynchronous Engineering Management M.Eng. program lets you build leadership skills while working full-time. Plus, immerse yourself in hands-on learning during a one-week intensive session on campus in Ithaca, NY each year.
“My M.Eng. at Cornell helped me bridge the gap between engineering and business, teaching me to think like both a builder and a strategist — to use data for product decisions, communicate insights to non-technical audiences, and turn complex problems into actionable plans. Through hands-on projects, I strengthened my skills in product analytics, stakeholder management, and structured problem-solving.”
Jahnavi Shah, M.Eng.’23 Engineering Management Product Deployment Strategist at Persona

Continuous learning in the face of evolving challenges
I’ve gained insights into motivating and leading teams, as well as making strategic decisions that impact both the technical and business aspects of a project.
-
Distance learning offers flexibility while working full-time
I schedule classwork during the evenings, use Saturday as my backup day if necessary, and do no work on Sunday. I’ve also taken time off from the program – life, work, and school converged so much so that I took one semester off.

Mastering management through distance learning
Most classes are asynchronous. The flexibility and autonomy are very important for me as a working professional with family commitments.
