The Denning Technology & Management Program is dedicated to creating the cross-functional leaders of the future through its rigorous curriculum, training in business communications, and frequent interaction with Corporate Affiliate executives.
As a new edition to our current Engineering & Management (E&M) minor curriculum, the Denning T&M Program is proud to announce its new minor in Computing & Management (C&M)! This exciting minor, the only one of its kind both on-campus and nationwide, will produce computer scientists who understand market forces and the financial implications of technology investments. It will also create managers who understand the relationship between software infrastructure, business processes, organizational structure, and business strategy in order to effectively manage information technology resources.
For both the E&M and C&M minor, engineering and computing students will take business classes in marketing, finance, accounting, and investments.
Courses for business students pursuing the E&M minor include a hands-on design course, a primer in microelectronics and nanotechnology, and an engineering seminar series where the top researchers from across the campus discuss their cutting-edge research. Business students in the C&M minor take courses in data analysis and next generation computing technologies.
The "together" classes, which are interdisciplinary in focus, allow students to study managing emerging technologies and new product and services development. In an integrated capstone project course, interdisciplinary teams focus on a specific problem posed by one of the program's Corporate Affiliates. These projects address problems of significant technical and managerial issues.
*Note: When registering for "together" courses non-management students must choose the MGT heading and business students must choose the ME or CS heading.
** Requires a Permit to register.
