NYU Tandon School of Engineering Expands Online Learning Program in Technology Management

In response to swelling demand for high-tech management skills, the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, which offers online graduate programs in eight specialized fields, has expanded its offerings to include a master of science in management of technology to help business leaders keep pace with soaring industry advances.

Participants can now choose from four in-demand tracks of technology management offered only online.

• Cyber Security offers a solid curriculum core in management plus courses on overseeing a team of information security experts.
• Human Capital Engineering and Analytics provides participants with the latest innovations in human resource management systems that integrate talent management, workforce analytics, knowledge management, process re-engineering, and other key domains.
• Human Resource Information Systems integrates knowledge and skills in information systems and Web-based technologies together with human resource management to achieve organizational effectiveness.
• Project Management addresses the increased demand for project managers with technical knowledge and the ability to lead, innovate, and manage.

NYU Tandon’s online courses are delivered in active learning modules, engaging students in interactive learning sessions. Online students are able to access lectures at any time, from anywhere in the world. During real-time webinars, students participate in live Q&A sessions; with their instructor and fellow students, they share ideas using video, screen-sharing, chat rooms, and interactive polling over built-in phone and VOIP lines.

“This program allows teaching to be right at the front of online learning,” said Pavlos Mourdoukoutas, academic program director for the Department of Technology Management and Innovation. “Students learn on their terms by a location- and time-independent model that leads to a higher standard of education and success rate.”

NYU Tandon received the 2015 Ralph E. Gomory Award for Quality Online Education from the Online Learning Consortium (formerly the Sloan Consortium). The school’s online unit was recognized for such achievements as successfully employing quantitative metrics to improve quality.

The NYU Tandon School of Engineering dates to 1854, when the NYU School of Civil Engineering and Architecture as well as the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute (widely known as Brooklyn Poly) were founded. Their successor institutions merged in January 2014 to create a comprehensive school of education and research in engineering and applied sciences, rooted in a tradition of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition to programs at its main campus in downtown Brooklyn, it is closely connected to engineering programs in NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai, and it operates business incubators in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn.
