Engineering Management addresses the design, management, and optimization of projects and complex operations. The programs are grounded in principles of systems science and systems engineering while utilizing the tools of management science, project management, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. Engineering managers may pursue careers across a wide range of technology-intensive industries, including aerospace, defense, shipbuilding and maritime systems, advanced manufacturing, transportation, energy, healthcare, and other technology-driven sectors, as well as in areas such as product development, manufacturing, construction, operations, and supply chain management.

Systems Engineering prepares professionals to design, integrate, analyze, and improve complex systems, leveraging systems analysis and optimization, modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to address increasingly sophisticated technical challenges. Graduates pursue careers as systems engineers, systems analysts, systems architects, and technical managers across aerospace, defense, shipbuilding and maritime systems, advanced manufacturing, transportation, energy, healthcare, and other technology-intensive industries.

Old Dominion University's EMSE programs provide students with learning opportunities in the way that best suits their needs, whether in the classroom, online, or even via CD-ROM for the military community. Along with our industrial partners, our students gain confidence and experience to effectively create, integrate, and apply technology in enterprise operations.
