Today's technology-driven economy requires leaders who combine technological proficiency with management know-how. As technology and science transform our world in every field, successful leaders are those prepared to guide their organizations in the efficient and effective integration of technology for new products, new businesses, and new systems.

A recent study of leadership at Standard and Poors 500 companies shows that the most common educational background for corporate Chief Executive Officers is engineering. Some 22 percent of the CEOs at the nation's largest companies earned engineering degrees, with far higher percentages in fields such as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, transportation, and electronics manufacturing. Advancement into managerial responsibilities is an increasingly common progression for engineers.  A graduate program in engineering management provides a technically-educated individual with skills needed to make a successful transition into a managerial role
