Master of Engineering & Systems Management (MEM)

The Ministry of Education (MOE) approved two-year M. Sc. in Engineering & Systems Management consists of both thesis and courses-only options. The program was developed in collaboration with the Centre for Complex Engineering Systems (CCES) at KACST (King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology) and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The elective courses span the themes: Decision Analysis & Data Analytics, Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management, and Development of Cyber-Physical Systems. This program is not an MBA; it is a technical master’s degree focused on engineering, data science and computation. “Systems thinking” is an important part of the degree, whether applied to the improvement of existing systems and operations or the creation of new products and services. Personal engineering leadership development is a mandatory part of the program.
