My first class in Engineering Systems Decision & Optimization overturned everything I assumed about decision-making. It doesn't teach you to solve problem sets β it teaches you to make high-quality decisions in a world of incomplete information and uncertain outcomes, without gambling on luck.
After years in the workforce, I'm returning to campus as a student to begin my Master of Engineering Management journey. This is a deliberate transition from technical executor to engineering managerβa long-planned advancement.
