The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management offers a master of engineering management - online program.
Dual Master’s Degrees: Master of Engineering Management and Master of Science in Energy Studies (thesis option only)
The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management offers a dual master’s degrees - master of engineering management and master of science in energy studies.
Master of Engineering Management (MEM)
Program Mission
The graduate program leading to the degree of master of engineering management (MEM) provides professional training in engineering management, with emphasis on technically based organizations and applications to various engineering and related disciplines. This program addresses the specific area of management of technical activities and enterprises.
Program Objectives
- To extend the legacy of the program for the next 20 years,
- To graduate outstanding students and increase impactful research output.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Analyze qualitative and quantitative information while conducting or applying research related to their graduate program.
- Analyze core concepts and theories in different areas of study in their discipline.
- Demonstrate scholarly communication skills in clear, detailed and well-structured scientific oral format consistent with high standards of their discipline.
- Demonstrate scholarly communication skills in clear, detailed and well-structured scientific written format consistent with high standards of their discipline.
- Apply professionalism and ethical research conduct in their discipline.
Admission Requirements
In order to be eligible for admission to the MEM program, students must have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, architecture, or a related field. The students must also satisfy the requirements of the university and the Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture for admission to graduate study, as specified in the relevant sections of this catalogue.
Graduates of universities other than AUB or from majors other than engineering or architecture may be required to take undergraduate prerequisite courses to make up for deficiencies.
Students are not allowed to register in the program for more than four calendar years beyond the date of their first registration, except with the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee of the faculty.
Residency Requirements
A minimum of two calendar years of residence is required for graduation. For more information, refer to the General University Academic Information section of this catalogue.
Program Requirements
Master’s Non-Thesis (30 cr.)
Under this option, students are required to complete a total of 30 credits, subdivided as follows:
- Four core courses (ENMG 602, ENMG 603, ENMG 606, and ENMG 661, 12 credits)
- Three electives from the students’ area of concentration (9 credits)
- Three free electives (9 credits)
- Seminar (0 credit)
Master’s Thesis (30 cr.)
Under this option, students are required to complete a total of 30 credits, subdivided as follows:
- Four core courses (ENMG 602, ENMG 603, ENMG 606, and ENMG 661, 12 credits)
- Three electives from the student’s area of concentration (9 credits)
- One free elective (3 credits)
- Thesis (6 credits)
- Seminar (0 credit)
Free electives should be graduate courses (within IEM, MSFEA or any AUB program), which relate to engineering management. All free electives must be approved by the students’ academic adviser. All students pursuing the FIE concentration are required to take ENMG 623 Stochastic Models and Applications. All students pursuing the PPM concentration are required to take ENMG 632 Project Planning Scheduling and Control. The ENMG 797 Special Project course can be used to satisfy the 3-credit requirement of any elective depending on the nature of the topic addressed. A flexible combination of courses not in fulfillment of either option stated above leads to no mention of an area of concentration on the students’ transcript.

- Four core courses (12 credits): ENMG 602, ENMG 603, ENMG 606, and ENMG 661.
- Six electives (18 credits): The students choose from the following electives, which are offered online on a regular basis, ENMG 624, ENMG 627, ENMG 632, ENMG 635, ENMG 642, ENMG 644, ENMG 645, ENMG 646, ENMG 647, and ENMG 648.
Dual Master’s Degrees: Master of Engineering Management and Master of Science in Energy Studies (thesis option only)
The dual master’s degrees – master of engineering management and master of science in energy studies – program is primarily intended for individuals with a bachelor’s degree in engineering who seek to deepen their knowledge in advanced energy studies and engineering management subjects.
Applicants must be accepted into both programs (master of engineering management and master of science in energy studies) and in accordance with the policies of each program, and with AUB policies regarding dual graduate degrees.
Students wishing to apply for the dual degree may submit a single dual-degree application that will be sent to each program simultaneously when first applying for graduate admissions. If students are already registered in one degree, they may apply for the second degree no later than the end of the second term at AUB.
The program permits full-time or part-time enrollments. To fulfill the basic requirements for the dual degree, students must complete a minimum of 18 credit hours of graduate course work in each degree program. The remaining credits include additional course work and a thesis that are credited to the dual degree. The program requires a minimum of 42 credit hours of graduate course work and 6 credits of thesis work. The coursework is distributed as follows:
- 9 credits of core Energy Studies (ENST) courses
- 6 credits of core Engineering Management (ENMG) courses
- 6 credits of common courses: Required core ENMG (ENST List A Electives)
- 12 credits of ENMG elective courses
- 6 credits of elective courses from ENST List B on energy science and technology
- 3-credit elective course as approved by thesis adviser/s (ENST)
The courses that are counted towards both degrees are:
