Q&A
What made you decide to pursue a degree or certificate in Engineering Management?
I wanted an advanced degree but felt a little too rusty on the technical side to go for a technical masters. Also, I believe it will prove useful to diversify my skill set.
Why did you choose the Engineering Management Program at CU Boulder?
I was an employee of CU at the time I was ready to begin.
What was your favorite graduate EMEN class/professor? Why?
Global Topics in Aerospace with Professor聽Tobey. I thought I knew the industry pretty well, but this class corrected that notion! It is so much broader and even more interesting than I realized.
How would you summarize your experience with the program?聽
At a minimum, I believe I have bettered myself. I am not planning to change positions anytime soon, so only time will tell if I am able to leverage the credentials that come with it.
