Master of Engineering Management
MEM is a technically focused, analytical degree designed specifically to address the challenges found at the intersection of management and engineering. It is designed to address the needs of individuals in coordinating and developing large interdisciplinary engineering projects in addition to the leadership of technical staff.
It gave me experience in the analytical approaches to solving technical and socio-technical problems, leading technical people and fostering effective teams, and managing technical projects in the presence of uncertainty and risk. The degree helped me develop the management layer over my engineering knowledge. The remote program from Penn State allowed me to complete the master’s degree along with working full-time as an Engineer in my day job.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
The program integrates electrical engineering with computer science. The goal has been to create engineers who have the tools to solve engineering problems in the real world. Computer engineers embed computers in machines and systems, build networks to transfer data, and develop ways to make computers, faster, smaller, and more capable.
From the curriculum, I learned key technical concepts of Computer Science such as Operating Systems, Cyber Security, Object-Oriented-Programming, Algorithms, Networking as well as electrical concepts such as logic design, computer organization, and design. It built a strong technical foundation for me.
