Graduate Admissions & Financial Assistance
As a licensed Professional Engineer, or PE, you can expect many more benefits when compared to other engineers; most employers offer higher salaries and greater opportunities for advancement to PE's. Only PE's can consult in private practice, and seal company documents to be sent to the government. PEs also have more credibility as expert witnesses in court than most engineers.
Steps in obtaining a PE license:
- Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam.
- Graduate with a bachelor's degree from an ABET accredited engineering curriculum (all Engineering curricula at Michigan Tech except Robotics Engineering).
- Gain four years of engineering experience under the supervision of a registered professional engineer.
- Pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam.
During your senior year you should take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, which is required prior to sitting for the Professional Engineers (PE) Exam. Some requirements vary by state.

Why IEM?
As a technology professional, you have likely seen and felt the unique challenges tech experts encounter as we try to grow into leadership.
- Our tech skills are in high demand, so we are often given more tech work and less leadership experience.
- We are often left out of the decision-making where management, marketing, finance, and production come together to deliver the product.
Technology professionals are the new blue-collar.
So how do you breakthrough to become more than just an engineer, developer, or project manager?
Learn how to translate your technical skills into the language of the company leadership. This is not just about learning new skills and walking away from what you know; it is about translation – showing how what you do adds value to the company’s bottom line.
In IEM, we help technology professionals turn their technology expertise into leadership skills, so they grow in their company, find new opportunities in other companies, or start something of their own. Your undergraduate degree need not be from engineering – we will focus more on your technology experience as entrance requirements.
IEM is a 5-semester (20 months) online engineering management program designed for working professionals. Classes meet in the evenings, are recorded in case you have to miss, and are interactive with others so that you grow your professional network – a key ingredient to professional growth.
Develop skills in leadership and communication while rounding out those other high-demand skills such as project management, systems engineering, data analytics and management, corporate finance, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Unlike other executive programs charging $50,000 to $100,000, IEM can be completed for around $30,000.
A Curriculum Designed for You
Our curriculum is designed with one goal in mind: to help you gain the knowledge and skills you need to advance your work. Our classes are designed with flexibility, so you can complete the degree while juggling career and family.
We work with current, sitting CEOs at major corporations to develop our course content around what they, as hiring professionals, want to see in their potential employees. We didn't just guess at what was relevant, we asked the people who are the reason most professionals look to get a degree in the first place exactly what was needed, then built classes to teach those things. We regularly meet with these CEOs to make sure what we are teaching stays current, and many globally based CEOs from multiple countries serve on our advisory board to make sure that the degree you earn from UAB is one that will pay you back. We have major corporations tell us that if they see a UAB Engineering Management Masters Degree on a resume submission, they pay attention.
Taught by Real World Industry Leaders
Each of our faculty members are real world industry leaders. Our faculty has worked in the same environments and with the same bureaucracy and kinds of people that you deal with at work. We know how to help you move forward, because we have walked these same paths as you.
