Mingzhou Jin<\/a>. \u201cOur new program will be especially valuable for professionals in the industry and public sectors who have backgrounds in engineering and science and want to take on more leadership responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\nTo facilitate attendance by professionals, ISE will allow students to attend courses either in person or fully online (asynchronously). In addition to advanced engineering, technology, and business management courses, the new DEng curriculum will cover emerging technologies in industrial engineering, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students will also have the option to supplement the degree with a concentration in engineering management.<\/p>\n
Pending final approval from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, the new degree program is expected to begin in August 2024.<\/p>\n
Matthew Mench, Tickle College of Engineering dean and Wayne T. Davis Dean\u2019s Chair, views the new degree as an important step toward broadening the college\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of the world\u2019s biggest challenges run through engineering, and the programs we are creating are in great demand,\u201d Mench said. \u201c(This new DEng is) reflective of our strategic commitment to meeting the state and national need to produce a highly skilled engineering workforce and conduct research at the highest levels of significance and societal impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jin is proud to be addressing the needs of modern engineering professionals who work outside the academic sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been getting requests for a DEng program from engineers and other working professionals for a long time,\u201d Jin said. \u201cThis DEng will be a great complement to our PhD program, building leaders with strong engineering and technical skills who are also experts in management, advanced analytics, communication, systems thinking, and problem solving.\u201d<\/p>\n
