University of Colorado Boulder
Student Experience
The ME-EM program prioritizes the acquisition of in-demand applied skills with real-world relevance, and the faculty brings extensive industry experience to the course.
Course facilitators hold weekly office hours where you can ask questions about the material being covered in the program. Additional opportunities for dialogue and connection happen through discussion boards and group peer sessions.
Who will be my peers in the program?
Students pursuing the ME-EM reflect a tremendous diversity of backgrounds. Most will bring industry experience and some will have just earned an undergraduate degree. Prior degrees and experience include aerospace, biomedical, mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering. There is also a good representation of those with STEM backgrounds in other fields, and with undergraduate degrees in the humanities. As a group, our students are generally highly analytical, self-motivated, and adept with technical and quantitative subject matter.
This program is ideal for individuals who are:
- Ambitious recent BA graduates, working engineers, or junior to mid-level managers looking to gain business and management skills to advance their careers
- Looking for flexible and convenient learning opportunities that fit into their busy professional and personal lives
- Looking for practical skills that they can apply immediately
- Looking for course content and materials designed specifically for engineering and technical environments
