-: Dr. Jena Asgarpoor.
I'm the director
for the Master of Engineering Management program
and a faculty in the program.
There is a place for working individuals
who want to work full-time and support their families
to also pursue their dream, their educational dreams,
so that they can advance themselves not only personally
but also help their companies
to be lean, mean, agile, and competitive.
Students in our program are surrounded
by people with work experience,
and they bring with them those perspectives,
those insights, those experiences
that make the interactions quite relevant, powerful,
and the cross-pollination of ideas are really excellent.
Our motto in this program is that every person
and every interaction matters.
We're there for the students,
we're responsive to their needs,
we're responsive to their communications,
and we try to streamline the process,
the processes that affect them on a daily basis
or within the course of their program
so that they can concentrate
on the three main things in their life,
which is their work, their family, and then their studies.
Our graduates tell us that the program
has broadened their perspective.
Strategic thinking and ability
that they didn't have before,
they have once they graduate from the program.
