D.Eng. 11.3.2015 (SN)

v U.S.  Congress  chartered  GW  in  1821    v 10  colleges  and  schools,  including  the  School  of  Engineering  and  Applied  Science  

v More  than  25,000  students,  of  whom  about  14,000  are  graduate  and  professional  

v MulIple  LocaIons  and  Online  

George  Washington  University

v One  of  6  academic  departments  in  the  GW  School  of  Engineering  &  Applied  Science  

v Some  of  the  largest  and  oldest  EM  and  SE  academic  programs  in  the  U.S.  

v Study  leads  to  B.S.,  M.S.,  D.Eng.,  and  Ph.D.  v Around  1,500  students

v Addresses  the  widespread  need  for  pracIIoners  who  can  apply  the  knowledge  they  gain  in  a  business  or  technical  environment.  

v Research  toward  the  D.Eng.  is  applied,  rather  than  the  basic,  fundamental  research  in  a  Ph.D.  

v The  D.Eng.  empowers  the  student  to  create  advanced,  pracIce-­‐based  soluIons  to  real-­‐world  problems.    

v The  D.Eng.  culminates  in  the  development  of  a  praxis  where  the  student  engages  a  pracIcal  problem  and  recommends  a  useful  soluIon  that  could  be  used  by  pracIcing  engineers,  applying  engineering  management  theories  and  pracIces.  

Doctor  of  Engineering

Engineering  Management  v  Bridges  the  gap  between  engineering  and  

management.  EM  enables  engineers  to  work  most  effecIvely  in  the  business  environment.  A  degree  in  EM  provides  a  technical-­‐based  alternaIve  to  tradiIonal  business  programs.  PracIIoners  specialize  in  such  areas  as  management  of  technology,  product  and  process,  quality,  organizaIonal  management,  operaIons  management,  program  management,  markeIng  and  finance.
