Ahlia University hosts the Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) in collaboration with the George Washington University (USA). The field of Engineering Management with focus in Engineering and Technology Management (E&TM) bridges the gap between engineering and management. It involves the overall management of organizations oriented to manufacturing, construction, engineering, technology, or production. E&TM enables engineers to function more effectively in the business environment. The MSEM Programme provides a technical-based alternative to a traditional Postgraduate Programme. Graduates of this programme will be specialized in areas including management of technology, product and process, quality, organizational management, operations management, program management or marketing and finance.
The MSEM degree combines core business analytical skills with specialist skills in engineering subfields including systems analysis and operations research. The degree produces graduates suitable for positions with technical organizations. Large manufacturing enterprises, increasingly relying on automated assembly lines, as well as resource extractive enterprises, would particularly value the skill mix afforded by newly minted MSEM graduates:

The curriculum of the MSEM Programme requires 11 courses totaling 36 American semester credit hours (144 NQF credits) including two types of course requirements: 4 core courses (12 credits) and 6 focus courses (18 credits) in addition to a research course EMSE 6995 (6 credits), where students are expected to utilize their knowledge and skills in writing a defendable dissertation in Engineering Management. While core courses must be taken by all students, students choose the focus courses from a set of specialized topics that, as a whole, provide the level of detail necessary for proficiency in particular areas. The research methods course EMSE 6992 is a prerequisite for the compulsory research course EMSE 6995.
Admission to the MSEM programme is based on the George Washington University Requirements Applicants applying for the MSEM Programme must meet the current entrance requirements of the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS). Ideal candidates for the programs will meet the following requirements.
Note: GW considers a candidate’s entire background and all submitted materials when reaching an admission decision.
The following documents should be submitted to Ahlia University Admission and Registration Office for completeness in line with Higher Education Council requirements prior forwarding it to GW for processing:
