B.S. Engineering Management Technology
What is the Engineering Management Technology Program (EMT Program)
The mission of the Engineering Management Technology program offered by the Manufacturing System Engineering and Management Department of CSUN, is to provide accessible education in the principles and application of technology management as well as engineering concepts, which would prepare students for industry jobs in the challenging and constantly dynamic work environment, we currently operate in and are likely to in the future as well.
CSUN provides the opportunity for students who have not had a complete background of pre-engineering work in high school to take courses to prepare for the major. These additional courses will not count toward the major and may increase the time to graduate.
The Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Management Technology will provide a firm technical base for students by requiring them to take courses with topics in materials engineering, engineering CAD, quality engineering, systems engineering, facilities planning and design, as well as technical innovation and entrepreneurship. Their technical skills are complemented by business skills in production planning, project management, engineering economy, marketing management and operations research.
