A majority of the coursework is completed online, making it flexible and convenient for busy working professionals. All courses are authored by Cornell faculty, and are taught by a combination of engineering faculty and senior Engineering Management practitioners.There are many opportunities for personal and direct interaction with faculty through small, seminar-style discussions, online chats, and face-to-face meetings during on-campus sessions. On average, you will take two courses at a time.
The online learning experience is interactive and engaging for both students and faculty. Each cohort has its own online community where learners can interact with their classmates and advisors outside of class. As working professionals, students bring a diverse set of experiences to the cohort. Students find enormous value in the opportunity to get to know, to share with, and to learn from one another outside the context of their courses. Just as with other college of engineering degrees, students choose Cornell in part because of the opportunity to build a lasting professional network.
On-campus sessions
The program's two one-week sessions of on-campus instruction are great opportunities to meet, learn from, and share best practices with the other engineering management professionals in your cohort. During these on-campus sessions you will work closely with faculty and fellow students as well as build relationships that will become the foundation of your professional network. Each session takes place in June where you can experience all that beautiful Ithaca, NY has to offer.
