The Master of Technology Management degree is designed to accommodate the needs of students and to respond to the industrial needs for advanced technical managers. The program effectively integrates technology and business operations created by advanced technology tools, new materials, and computer graphics in the manufacturing and construction practices. The program prepares its graduate for executive levels of technical management in manufacturing and construction organizations. The design of advanced course work is dictated by the effect of these changes on leadership functions of technical managers.

The Master of Technology Management engages the students in applied technical research. The outcomes of such activity add to the knowledge of relevant practice or solve immediate problems that arise in the work place. Students may also engage in an internship to gain industry experience. A special feature of the degree program is the flexibility of course work to meet the needs, interests, and career goals of students while addressing the needs of industry. Most of the degree courses are offered in a mix of online and face to face delivery taking advantage of strengths of each delivery method.
