Developing a revolutionary design or product or software often becomes an all-consuming pursuit in industry. Yet, many gifted engineers and technologists are eventually bewildered to discover, only too late, that their innovative product is wholly insufficient. A great design accomplishes nothing if it fails to address critical needs and the only means of aligning those is a deep understanding of the consumer or business customer. Fully 94% of executives admit that their organizations fail to truly understand the customer. They are, strategically, running full-steam in complete darkness. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.
