Overview

In 2010, the Ministry of Education of China initiated the professional master degree program of engineering management, in order to meet the great and urgent demands for talents, to serve the rapid developments of modern engineering. In 2012, the first cohort of 70 students were admitted to the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program of Tsinghua University. The number of enrollments has been growing year by year ever since. In 2015, the MEM Education Center, which manages and operates the program was established. In 2016, the MEM Education Center launched the international Master of Engineering Management (IMEM) program.

IMEM is a 2-year professional master’s degree program. It was based on many years success of the domestic MEM (Master of Engineering Management) education program, which trained Chinese engineering management talents. IMEM is tailored to meet the demands of global engineering projects in a globalized context and prepares engineers and technical specialists to take leadership roles in global engineering projects. Through a multidisciplinary education integrating engineering, management with on-site practice and internship, IMEM expands students’ vision, improves their management skills, and integrates their engineering and technical knowledge with global vision and Chinese perspectives.
