Who We Are

Our MS and PhD programs in Mineral and Energy Economics (MEE) provide a set of unique educational offerings for individuals with a keen interest in earth resources and environmental issues. For decades, we have been known especially for research that applies economics to the challenging and important policy and industry issues associated with energy, minerals, and the environment. Our MEE program attracts students from all over the world, and our alumni are known globally for their career achievements and qualifications.

The department’s MS program in Engineering & Technology Management (ETM) is an accelerated one-year master’s degree program designed for graduates of engineering, applied science, or technology-related undergraduate programs who seek to enhance their knowledge, marketability and career potential. The ETM program provides our graduates with contemporary business management tools, skills and insights that are needed in rapidly changing, technology-focused enterprises.

Our undergraduate program, Business Engineering and Management Sciences (BEMS), is designed to create STEM leaders with data and technology expertise. The BEMS program focuses on preparing students to make business decisions using relevant data, analytical tools, and modelling. Students will gain knowledge of business principles as well as business ethics, and by the end of the degree, are equipped to make decisions and propose solutions to improve both their professional fields of choice and the world at large.

Finally, intellectual life in the division is centered around a strong faculty core, well-positioned to extend its current scholarship, curriculum, and multi-disciplinary efforts in the areas of earth resources, energy, environmental policy, as well as management and optimization techniques. This stimulating educational and research environment provides students a challenging and rewarding educational experience – as well as unlimited career potential.
