A program in technical decision making and leadership
The Master of Engineering and Technology Management (METM) program provides working professionals with the tools they need to lead in technically-based industries. Business and engineering employees learn together—and mastery of the practical curriculum often provides immediate on-the-job improvements.
You'll focus on:
- Interdisciplinary teams
- Customer-oriented approaches
- Global technology and innovation strategies
- Quality improvement
- Performance management in technical organizations
- Design for manufacturability
- Management of scarce resources
Our METM program is one of the few in the world with a rich offering in the Theory of Constraints.
We offer all courses through an innovative blend of traditional classroom instruction and the latest in video technologies, and we take our program to the Boeing Company and various sites around Washington State.
At WSU Spokane, students benefit from interaction with professional peers in a variety of industries, learning from a network of professors located at each of our campuses.
Certificate programs are also available in eight areas of interest to engineers and others working in technological fields (twelve semester hours each):
- General engineering and technology management
- Six Sigma quality management
- Project management
- Manufacturing leadership
- Constraints management
- Supply chain management
- Construction project management
