Curriculum
Engineering Management Minor Program

ATTENTION: The program is now accepting Engineering Minor applications for students to start in Winter 2027. The deadline to apply is December 6, 2026. PLEASE NOTE: All new Engineering Minor students must take MEM 402: Engineering Management in Winter 2027. This course will be offered remotely on Mondays, 6:00pm-9:00pm CST.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR TGS STUDENTS: TGS versions of the required core courses (MEM 402 and MEM 407) are being created that will be cross-listed with the MEM core courses; these will be IEMS courses. This will allow TGS students to enroll in TGS versions of the core courses. There WILL NOT be TGS versions of the elective course options. The course creation is currently in progress and not yet visible in CAESAR.

One particularly popular combination is a major in any engineering field with a three-course minor in engineering management, or EM Minor, offered through the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) Program within the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences.

Students must earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 in their EM Minor courses to earn the EM Minor. Once completed, an Engineering Management Minor notation will be added to the student's transcript.

The EM Minor consists of taking a total of 3 credits:

  • Two required course credits as indicated below.
  • A one-credit elective course chosen from the list below*. 

Required Courses (2 Credit Hours)

Elective Courses (1 credit hour)

PLEASE NOTE: This course may be taken in either Fall, Winter, or Spring. There are no TGS versions of the elective course options.

*NOTE: The MEM program, at the discretion of the director, can update the elective course list as new courses are added to the MEM curriculum. No outside course substitutions will be allowed.

Enrollment Considerations:

  • Each course is subject to availability
  • Students must have approval from their departmental advisor to participate in the EM Minor program (the advisor will sign the application form)
  • Students must complete a post-calculus, probability, and statistics course before starting the EM Minor program
  • EM Minor students must take MEM 402: Engineering Management in the Winter quarter and MEM 407: Decision Tools for Managers in the Spring quarter, but may take their elective course in either the Fall, Winter, or Spring quarter.
  • EM Minor students may take up to two courses in either the Winter quarter or the Spring quarter (1 required course + 1 elective course) 
  • TGS versions of the required core courses (MEM 402 and MEM 407) are being created that will be cross-listed with the MEM core courses; these will be IEMS courses. This will allow TGS students to enroll in TGS versions of the core courses. There will not be a TGS version of the elective course options. The course creation is currently in progress and not yet visible in CAESAR.
  • Master of Engineering Management students are given enrollment priority in MEM courses
