"The MSE Program at Lehigh University is superior to many other
graduate engineering programs because it can be tailored to meet the
interests or needs of the student and the sponsoring employer. This
flexibility allows both parties to realize the maximum possible benefit
from the experience." "The concepts of lean manufacturing and total quality management
that are taught in the MSE program are essential and highly sought after
tools in today's competitive environment. Together with Lehigh's MBA
program, the MSE program has given me an appreciation of the challenges
that are present in all aspects of a manufacturing business, and has
enhanced my ability to make decisions that are in the best interest
of the organization as a whole." "The Lehigh MSE program offers advanced levels of concentration that
focus on manufacturing and business systems. The multi-skill approach
combines both technical and business analysis for individuals and creates
opportunities for them to succeed in today's globally driven organizations."
"The design/analysis class was just one component of the MSE Program
that continues to benefit me in the real world. The MSE program is very
well integrated, we learned business and engineering theory, we got
a lot of hands-on experience, and we did a lot of projects. The supply-chain
management and e-commerce classes were especially helpful. The product-design
classes cover all aspects of design. You learn how to design a new product,
something a customer wants, and then you learn to go in front of the
customer and sell the product to them."
"I find the Lehigh MSE Program to be both worthwhile and supportive of my current work assignments. I tend to rate a class by one of three categories; (1) glad I am out of there, (2) that was iinteresting, or (3) boy, I can sure use that. All of the Lehigh classes have been rated 2 or 3, with the majority of them a category 3." "Without on-line study, I would not have been able to complete my bacherlor's degree or pursue my master's degree. I have three small children and lived outside of the country for a period, so on-line study was the only option for me. Half of my bachelor's degree was done on-line through another college, and all of my master's degree in MSE with Lehigh was on-line. All on-line programs have their good and bad points. However, the professors are what I find different about the Lehigh MSE Program. In all of my studies, the Lehigh professors are by far the most passionate and knowledgeable in the topics they teach." "The MSE program offers a perfect blend of traditional theory, practical group projects, and current events and trends in manufacturing and business. The diversity of students and faculty from many industries and backgrounds help you explore thoughts that cross many boundaries. And all of this is conducted in an environment that functions much like teams that work together virtually in many companies today." "The MSE graduate program introduced me to cutting edge systems engineering concepts. I'm currently applying some of the acquired knowledge in my career. I was impressed by the way MSE professors and support staff at Lehigh helped me by patiently answering questions, walking me through the processes involved with distance education. I have recommended the program to co-workers and feel that it is an investment that is well worth the effort." "The MSE program provides those with an engineering background the tools to be more well rounded by having the option of taking business classes. This allows decisions to be made using different view points - from either an engineering or a business perspective. It is important (and eye-opening) to understand the aspects and priorities of both sides of the business. Also, the flexibility of satellite/online classes made it possible to work full-time, watch lectures, do class work, and still have a life." |
