MIT's System Design and Management (SDM) Program announced it is joining the Master of Engineering Management Programs Consortium (MEMPC), a select group of forward-thinking professional graduate engineering management programs from Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Stanford, and Northwestern.

The MEMPC was chartered in 2006 to raise awareness of the Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M.) degree and the skills developed through the combination of engineering and management course work to prepare technology managers. The MEMPC member institutions share ideas, expertise, new curricula ideas, and best practices. ...

"MIT's System Design and Management Program is welcomed into the MEMPC as another leading program in the field," says Robert Graves, director of the Master of Engineering Management Program at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering. "The SDM Program experience and direction will significantly strengthen the MEMPC in accomplishing its goals and promoting the profession."
