    Our program just started last year and is managed by a new institute called the Institute for the Integration of Management and Engineering. It centers around Entre/Intrapraneurship or managing innovation. It requires a BS in engineering. The courses are jointly designed and taught by both a management faculty and an engineering faculty member
