Student Profile

Experience: Engineering experience of MEPP students ranges from early career engineers with four years of experience preparing for advancement to senior engineers with more than 30 years of experience who simply understand the need for lifelong learning to stay on top of their game. All MEPP students have at least a BS degree, but many others have previously earned MS, MBA, and even PhD degrees.

Responsibilities: Recent MEPP graduates have included senior managers, including manufacturing design directors, presidents of consulting firms and public works directors. Graduates have also included project engineers preparing to move into project management responsibilities. In most cases these engineers are either preparing to take the next step in their careers or to increase their effectiveness as technical leaders in their current position.

Professional development needs: MEPP applicants have also considered an MBA or a discipline-specific MS degree. These engineers decide that an MBA is too removed from their daily responsibilities in engineering and a narrowly-focused MS degree does not give them the broader and applied skills they need. They review the MEPP curriculum and see a close match with their interests and career goals. MEPP's engaging, accessible format, and exceptional reputation clinch the decision that MEPP is the right fit.

Career goals: In all cases, the common thread is that these are engineers who love engineering and want to increase their effectiveness in leading and contributing to engineering projects, programs and teams. If that sounds like you, take a serious look at what MEPP has to offer you and your career.
