What Students Say about the Curriculum

"My change of perspective has been dramatic. My filter to the world had been almost entirely an engineer's perspective. MEPP gave me the opportunity to put on the shoes of the financial controller, customer, management, stockholder, or the manufacturing department needing to assemble what engineering hath wrought. The credibility required of a leader comes not only from expertise but from the understanding, relationships, and trust of the people with whom we interact."

"When I looked at the MEPP curriculum and had to write a justification for why I wanted to participate in this program, I was able to list each one of those courses and make a direct application to the work I was doing or work I wanted to be doing. And I think that made a very strong connection with my employer in terms of being able to support me in the program."

"The course selection within MEPP aligns particularly well with those who supervise, manage or aspire to do either in a technical environment. During my study, I was able to apply course topics to workplace situations, helping provide for a deeper understanding of the skill being taught. Furthermore, these experiences helped my employers make better decisions and implement better systems or solutions."
