Technology Management

The Master of Technology Management (MTM) program prepares early career engineers and scientists to be leaders in technology ventures — within both startups and established companies.

This 9-month intensive program is designed to teach the frameworks, skills, and techniques you need to be a successful technology manager. No fluff, no filler.

Students focus on the challenges that are regularly encountered by managers and business leaders and the practices they employ as they work to build technology-based products and services that match (or create) market needs.

What Will I Learn in MTM?

In the MTM program, you will learn how to:

• Recognize opportunities for a new product
• Determine what your company needs to go after it
• Secure the resources to develop it
• Manage the people and processes to implement and deliver it

Through a robust combination of real-world case studies, hands-on field assignments and extracurricular interactions with engineering managers, entrepreneurs and CEOs of tech companies, students are introduced to challenges and practices that leaders regularly encounter when building technology-based products and services that match market needs. None of the Master of Technology Management course material is generic. Assignments give students the opportunity to write business models for tech startups and to re-engineer work in large companies to support tech innovation. In total, students will be exposed to more than 50 companies through their coursework, field trips and extracurricular activities.
