The School of Engineering, in partnership with the School of Business, has launched the Master of Engineering degree with a concentration in Innovation and Management (MENG \u2013 IM<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The program targets practicing engineers who wish to enhance their managerial skills, gain an in-depth understanding of emerging technologies, and develop a more innovative approach to problem solving.\u00a0 The MENG-IM degree coursework will kick off with the fall 2011 term and be offered during evening hours at the state-of-the-art Graduate Business Learning Center, home to UConn\u2019s executive and part-time MBA programs.
