Careers
Teach complex ideas clearly. Lead learning in technical spaces. Shape the future of engineering education.
The Master of Science in Engineering Education prepares technically trained professionals to communicate, teach, and lead in environments where engineering knowledge must be both precise and accessible. As engineering challenges grow more complex and the demand for skilled engineers continues to rise, organizations need educators, trainers, and leaders who understand both the technical content and, perhaps more importantly, how people learn it.
Offered jointly by the College of Engineering and the College of Education, this degree builds strong expertise in engineering education, pedagogy, assessment, and curriculum design. Whether you are teaching future engineers, leading training initiatives, designing educational programs, or supporting learning in industry, higher education, museums, or technical organizations, the M.S. in Engineering Education equips you to translate engineering knowledge into meaningful learning experiences and to lead education efforts where technical understanding matters most.
Graduates of this program are prepared to teach engineering in community college settings and to design and deliver training and education in industry settings. This degree strengthens qualifications for instructional roles and supports advancement into lead teaching and program coordination positions.
In industry and applied settings, graduates may pursue careers in technical training, workforce development, curriculum design, or education consulting. These roles support onboarding, upskilling, and continuous learning within engineering-driven organizations and offer strong career mobility, cross-functional influence, and opportunities to lead education initiatives where technical understanding is essential.
Engineering education expertise is also in demand in museums, outreach programs, and informal learning environments. These roles focus on designing engaging, hands-on learning experiences and translating engineering concepts for diverse audiences, helping expand access to engineering education and inspire future engineers.
