The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program is offered by the College of Engineering (CoE) in collaboration with the College of Business.
The program curriculum consists of 10 courses (30 credit hours), of which 6 are engineering courses and 4 are business courses. The students could also do a research project in lieu of one elective course. The program accepts students with a bachelor’s degree in all engineering discipline, architecture, computer science or IT. The MEM program offers its students unique opportunities for advanced education in the field of engineering management as well as opportunities for leadership growth at personal and professional levels. It is focused on advanced economics, quality management, and operations and supply chain management. This program is an alternative to an MBA offered to engineers who are looking for improving their engineering education and acquiring business and management skills.
This program has been introduced at Abu Dhabi University in response to the UAE market needs where engineering is driving all sectors of the industry and where engineering managerial positions are crucial to the UAE firms. The graduates of this program will train Emirati and expatriate professionals to lead and manage projects in the UAE engineering-based industries.
“I was able to reduce power interruptions from 16% to 9%.”
"I originally selected ADU for reasons of convenience. I work in Abu Dhabi and needed an institution that offered flexible class schedules and evening courses. The international accreditations held by ADU gave me confidence that I would receive a quality degree but I didn’t anticipate what happened next.
As part of the Quality Engineering course I carried out research into ‘Reducing the Interruption of Power Distribution: A Six Sigma Application’. I took real data from the relevant entity and analyzed it over a period of six months. Using only the quality tool, I was able to reduce power interruptions from 16% to 9%.”
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
The tuition fee calculations are an example only and are based on the assumption that elective courses will be taken with the College that the student is taking their major with. However, if the student selects elective courses outside of this College, the total cost payable may increase or decrease to reflect the tuition rate of the College where the elective is delivered.
Costs of books and supplies are not included in the Tuition and Fees. Students at Abu Dhabi University are also required to pay certain fees and other costs to attend the University. Abu Dhabi University reserves the right to change tuition and fee rates at any time. A tuition schedule is published prior to registration for each semester.
