Engineering Management Subspecialization

What is it?
The Engineering Management Subspecialization is a program for graduate engineering students within the Faculty of Applied Science at UBC. It allows students to get a more balanced education in both technical and managerial subjects. Students get their technical education through their graduate engineering program and their management education through the Engineering Management Subspecialization.

Who is it for?
The Subspecialization is intended for the practicing engineer who wishes to acquire more advanced knowledge and skills to effectively manage engineering and technical enterprises in existing or new businesses and industries. To be eligible for the Subspecialization, you must be a registered graduate student in the Faculty of Applied Science at UBC.

How does it work?
The Engineering Management Subspecialization requires 12 credits of courses in management-related subjects, with six credits of core courses and 6 credits of elective courses. Course credits that satisfy the requirements of a Graduate Engineering Program (MASc, MEng or PhD) and the requirements of the Engineering Management Program may apply to both programs.

For more information, please vist the Engineering Management Subspecialization Web site.
Or email Ron MacKinnon, Program Coordinator.

Bridge Program

The Bridge Program is a multidisciplinary graduate fellowship program whose goal is to develop creative evidence-based strategies to solve public, environmental and occupational health problems using preventive approaches that link the public health, engineering and policy realms.

The Program provides funding to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, visiting scholars and professionals, and brings them together with faculty mentors in an interactive environment that promotes the application of their combined knowledge and methodologies to the identification and prevention of disease and injury.

It has academic requirements, but it is NOT a degree-granting program. Students who want to join the program must apply to both the Bridge Program and existing masters and doctoral programs associated with one of the 9 participating units in UBC's Faculties of Medicine, Graduate Studies, and Applied Science.

For more information, please visit the Bridge Program website.
