Today, engineers and technical staff who will take charge in managerial positions must have gained knowledge and skills of effective leadership, teamwork, conflict management, contemporary planning and control. Examples of these positions are Project Manager, Product Manager, Manufacturing-Production Manager, Engineering Manager, Technical Manager and R&D Manager. The aim of this program is to prepare engineers and technical staff who will take a leadership role in high-tech organizations by integrating engineering, technology and management knowledge and techniques.

Degree Earned
:
Students who successfully complete this program are awarded a Master's Degree in Engineering and Technology Management (without Thesis).

Level of Degree Earned
:
This program is a graduate-level program.

Conditions and Rules of Earned Degree
:
The non-thesis master's program consists of a total of thirty credits and at least ten courses, not less than 90 ECTS, and a term project course. The student has to register for the term project course in the semester in which the term project course is taken and submit a written project and/or report at the end of the semester. The term project course is non-credit and is evaluated as successful or unsuccessful. At most three of the courses to be taken by the student can be selected from the undergraduate courses, provided that they were not taken during the undergraduate education.
The duration of completing the non-thesis master's program is three semesters in total. It is obligatory to complete 10 courses of 30 credits + term project course in three semesters. If it is not completed, the program is terminated.

Program Features-Description
:
This non-thesis master's program is for graduates of engineering and science departments working in the private and public sectors. There are 10 courses and project courses with 30 credits in the education program. In this program, students are given a more hands-on and case-analysis-based education. It is aimed that students gain knowledge and skills of effective leadership, teamwork, conflict management, contemporary planning and control. Key topics of the program include strategic technology management, project management, human resources engineering, supply chains, knowledge management, engineering economics and cost analysis.
