Director, Multi-Disciplinary Graduate Engineering Programs

About the Opportunity

The College of Engineering Multidisciplinary Graduate Unit focuses on producing more effective engineers who are substantially more capable than ever of addressing the needs of digital society in terms of time, cost, and quality. The unit thrives to accomplish this by improving the way systems are designed and evolved overtime. We believe the software challenge is a system engineering one, rather than a coding problem.

The Director of the Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering (MGEN) programs is responsible for the unit's academic programs within the university and across the network. The Director will focus on creating and facilitating growth of the unit's new programs and those programs with high growth potential. The Director is responsible for programmatic strategic planning, supervision, and coordination to ensure alignment with university, college, and unit goals, academic programs, and resources. The position will work to capitalize on expansive non-traditional graduate student markets and manage unit programs across the network.
