System Design & Management (SDM) Master’s program

专业详情

MIT’s System Design and Management (SDM) program, offered jointly by the MIT Sloan School of Management and School of Engineering, is a master’s program for experienced engineers and product development professionals who seek to build upon their technical background and advance to positions of leadership in their careers. Program applicants have significant engineering and/or managerial experience, in addition to a scientific or engineering education. On average, SDM student-fellows have about 10 years of work experience. Program participants come from both private and government institutions, either as company-sponsored or self-sponsored students. Most SDM students have advanced degrees in other fields, and over half come from countries other than the United States.

The SDM program leads to a Master of Science in Engineering and Management. The program focuses on developing competencies in the areas of systems thinking, management skills, leadership, and an end-to-end understanding of systems development. Students take subjects drawn from three areas: systems (systems engineering, architecture, and optimization), management, and a technical area of the student’s choosing. Application deadlines are in mid-January, and mid-March. Applicants receive a decision within four to six weeks after the deadline by which the complete application was received.
