About the Program
The Master in Engineering Management degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Yarmouk University, was established in 2020 in response to the growing demand for professionals who can effectively bridge the gap between engineering and management. The program is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical expertise in both industrial engineering principles and managerial practices, enabling them to lead complex engineering projects and drive organizational performance.
The curriculum covers a comprehensive range of topics including operations management, systems analysis, operations research, engineering economics, project scheduling, quality and reliability engineering, decision support systems, ergonomics, and simulation. This multidisciplinary approach provides graduates with the flexibility to thrive across various sectors where people, technology, systems, business, and information intersect.
To accommodate different career goals, the program offers two study tracks:
-
Thesis Track: Emphasizes scientific research and is suitable for students who aim to pursue a Ph.D. or engage in applied research in engineering management.
-
Non-Thesis Track: Offers additional coursework and is ideal for professionals seeking to advance their technical and managerial skills for leadership roles in industry.
The program supports Yarmouk University’s vision to contribute to Jordan’s scientific and economic development by advancing research and applied projects that serve the national economy. It plays a key role in enhancing the local business environment by promoting best management practices that benefit both the industrial and service sectors.
Whether pursuing a leadership role in industry or engaging in applied research, students gain the tools to make informed, strategic decisions and drive innovation. Through strong ties with public and private sector institutions, the program ensures students are well-prepared to contribute meaningfully to Jordan’s development goals and the broader field of engineering management.
by integrating principles of engineering, management, and decision science to address complex organizational and technical challenges.
in operations management, project planning, quality assurance, systems optimization, and data-driven decision-making.
