Master’s Program Partnership Paying Off for Y-12 Engineers
As he spent Fridays in an Oak Ridge classroom for nearly two years, Eric White knew an industrial engineering master’s degree would help him sharpen his professional skills while strengthening his resume and helping him network with other Y-12 National Security Complex employees. But he never expected the master’s degree to pay off so quickly.
White was among the first group of Y-12 employees who graduated from the UT’s two-year industrial engineering master’s program with a concentration in engineering management in August 2013, and he’s among a handful of graduates who have found quick success as a result of the program.
