Students completing the Doctor of Engineering and Technology Management degree will complete a research dissertation and will have one or more peer reviewed journal publications or conference proceedings accepted by the time they graduate.
 
The Program Coordinator acts as a temporary academic advisor to each student upon admission. The Program Coordinator will provide guidance on required or recommended courses that the student should take until they are ready to take EMGT 6113 (the research proposal class).  The quarter the student takes EMGT 6113, the student is required to select a research advisor (with help from the Program Coordinator) who will assume the role of the academic advisor from that point. The student’s Advisory Committee consists of 3-5 faculty members who help to guide the student through different aspects of his/her research.
 
Students are required to pass two examinations before they can proceed to working on their research.  The schedule of examinations consists of a written qualifying examination (EMGT 6850) and an oral qualifying exam (EMGT 6860) which is an oral defense of the research proposal.  None of the examinations may be taken more than 2 times.  The written qualifying examination covers four classes from the EMGT, INEN, and STAT courses taken by the student.  One of the classes must be INEN 6403 or INEN 6453.
