Other Managers Say...

"An MBA does address some of the things that engineers need to know but it's so general that in a technical setting, it's more informational for the individual and not so helpful for the employer. What I liked about MEPP is, it is focused on making improvements at the company you work at, and those are the lessons and so you feel the impact directly...it's very important for us to have our engineers where we need them...it's hard to compromise on that. This program was very good in that, as an employer, I saw no lack of productivity by my employees who were participating - in fact, just the opposite."

"I have personally observed the impact of this program on three participants: in all cases the personal growth in engineering problem solving skills, business acumen, and self confidence have been notable and professional success is certain."

"They (students) actually take projects as part of the program and develop them...my point here is that we get stuff, projects, improvements done in a much more effective way. One, because there is an extra effort from the individual; two, because they have the help from the professors to guide them on what is the best way, and they also at the same time they come and ask the managers what is the best way. So the combination of professor, student and managers working together provides that kind of improvement for today's productivity that I'm looking for."
