As a graduate of the iE&M program, you can say with confidence, "Here is what I have to offer":

Technical Problem Solving: A foundation of calculus-based mathematics (four courses), laboratory science (physics and chemistry), and a wide range of engineering principles (six courses) prepare graduates to readily adapt to technological shifts. They can be credible agents of change!

Team building: More than learning how to effectively work on a team, graduates of the iE&M degree program gain the knowledge, skills, ability, and behaviors to successfully lead cross-functional groups through the stages of team dynamics. They can lead disparate groups.

Communication: A solid foundation of communication skills built from coursework, projects, and extracurricular activities in both written and oral media. Ability to leverage technology to create, disseminate, and decipher information.  They can get their ideas across.

Multi-tasking: The continual balancing of the simultaneous demands of studying mathematics, science, engineering, business, and humanities over four years condition graduates to the demands of today’s work environment.  They can focus and juggle.

Critical Thinking: The combined engineering and business core coursework provides graduates with the ability to use quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate a wide range of processes within a business’ key systems.  They can separate root cause from symptoms.

Decision Making: A variety of foundation business courses condition graduates to the ambiguity that is inherent in organizational challenges, coupled with the need for timely and useful decisions.  They can prioritize and make choices fast.
