For Engineers and IT Specialists Only?
Do I need to be an engineer to benefit from EMTM?
No. You need an aptitude for science, but you do not need to be an engineer or IT specialist. In addition to EMTM students with undergraduate or advanced degrees in various areas of engineering and information systems, many EMTM students have academic backgrounds in management, economics, the natural sciences and mathematics. Others have earned prior MBAs or degrees in law or medicine.
EMTM technology courses are designed to prepare students to understand and manage technology-driven innovation, not to be technology specialists
Increasingly, IT leaders, scientists and engineers need to understand business, business leaders need to understand IT and the unique technologies that drive success in their organizations … and both need to understand the potential impact of emerging technologies and trends.
EMTM is designed to fill this need. EMTM students and graduates become leaders who can understand and 'speak the language' needed to communicate across the organization in technology-intensive industries.

While many EMTM students are engineers and scientists from technology-driven companies who turn to the program to sharpen their business skills, Derek Bridges believes that “the bigger opportunity at EMTM is for businesspeople to understand the role technology plays in every business and industry. It's very valuable to be able to make decisions around how to capitalize on emerging technologies; and this is quickly becoming where the challenges of business are going to be in the future.”
