I am a full-time employee, father of 5, and the only income feeding a family of seven. If I can complete the program, anyone can. Virtually each and every class I undertook, I frequently found areas of my workplace that could be improved with my newly found skills.

I used what I learned to reduce my overall costs by 48% in FY '2010. In this world of highly competitive, highly trained engineers, you need something to help you gain a competitive advantage in the job market. UT's Master’s in Engineering Management is such an advantage.

After 10 years in Project Management and completing the Engineering Management program I became a VP for Fox Mechanical in 2004, a division of Fox Service Company, then in 2006 I accepted a position as President of Truform Metalservice, Inc. I feel that my education has helped me grow professionally even while the construction industry is suffering 20+% declines.

The UT Software Engineering Master's Program provides an excellent learning experience for software developers to better manage software projects and products end-to-end. The knowledge is directly applicable to IBM employees who strive to be technical leads, software development managers, project managers or product managers.
