This is a three-part, fall educational series designed to expose engineers at corporations and scaling startups to skills needed to lead engineering without leaving engineering.

The series is brought to you by Rice University’s engineering faculty in collaboration with Ion. Rice faculty will provide introductions to concepts to help engineers take leadership roles in producing the best products and services for the market.

In the 4th industrial revolution, all companies are or must become technology companies. And technology companies must hire and produce Industry 4.0 engineering manager leaders, if they are to modernize their engineering workforce and produce the best products and services. The Master of Engineering Management & Leadership (MEML) degree and the new graduate Certificate in Engineering Management & Leadership (CEML) program was designed to help traditional engineers pivot into the new generation of I4 Engineering Leaders.  The series will expose engineers to selected skills and concepts presented in the MEML degree and the CEML program in a classroom setting.
