Practical Experience

The engineering management program at The University of Scranton is home to a unique group of faculty and students who continue to push the limits of the engineering and business. With constant exchange and collaboration, the engineering management program stays at the forefront of exciting research and experimentation, while building a breadth of experience in business and economics.

Students also secure engineering-focused internships and more general internships that build business savvy. These kinds of experiences give our students the chance to explore their career interests in the field and find great jobs once they graduate.

"I am in charge of reviewing an entire team to make sure everything going into the new learning program is working perfectly to then publish it for the workers of this company to use. I get to communicate with people all over the world and I get to be a part of the management of important projects."
