The future of engineering belongs to those who can turn ideas into impact.

Bringing an idea into the real world requires a range of skills, including strategic decision-making, collaboration, leadership, and an understanding of what makes a concept viable.

The new online MSE in Technology and Innovation (MSE-TI Online) is designed to help students build the technical, strategic, and leadership skills needed to evaluate opportunities, bring teams together, and move ideas from concept to deployment.

There’s no single path into a career in technology.

Students come to our MAS-CS Online program from a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds - ranging from teaching and music, to law and healthcare.

They bring expertise from their experience and the grit it takes to develop new technical skills in computer science.

Through our MAS-CS program, we’re proud to see how our students and alumni successfully leverage their CS education to step into new roles, break into new fields, and build or advance their careers.

Advances in AI are closely tied to advances in data management, shared Professor Susan Davidson in a recent interview.

Many AI tools that answer questions using outside information rely on vector databases to find relevant material before generating a response.

Dr. Davidson explains that these newer systems build on longstanding database concepts for organizing, indexing and querying data efficiently.

Join Dr. Davidson on Thursday, August 27 at 11 a.m. ET during our Focus on Faculty webinar to learn about her expertise and experience as a researcher and professor in the fields of computer science and data science. She'll explore the online course she teaches for our graduate students and share insights into our online master's degree programs.

Designing the right solutions starts with a better understanding of the problem.

"Design Thinking for Engineering Innovation" is a core course in our new online MSE in Technology and Innovation (MSE-TI Online) program. Students apply human-centered design to research needs, frame problems, develop ideas, prototype, test, and iterate.

A security mindset begins by asking how an attacker could make a software system behave in ways its designers never intended.

In a recent webinar exploring our new MSE-SSC Online master's degree program, Professor Michael Hicks explains how threat modeling, data and analysis can help engineers identify vulnerabilities and build security into systems from the beginning.

To build a successful venture, market research is crucial.

But few methods are as illuminating as directly observing customers in context: what they need, where they struggle, and what they may not think to say out loud.

For Cassel, firsthand observation can reveal the unexpected insight or pivot that helps turn an idea into a stronger solution, Professor Thomas Cassel discussed on the Learn the Technology podcast with Brandon Krakowsky, Director of Data Science and Research at Wharton AI & Analytics Initiative.

Cassel teaches in the new MSE-TI Online program — the online Master’s in Science in Engineering in Technology and Innovation — where students learn how to evaluate ideas, compare alternatives, and make informed decisions that help turn technical concepts into viable products, systems, and ventures.

“Customers don't buy technology. They buy experiences. They buy things that make them feel good. Save them money. Make them money. Save them time,” said Jeffrey Babin, Program Director of the new online MSE in Technology and Innovation.

To create a successful pitch, Babin emphasizes that strong presentations tell a clear story, avoid jargon, answer the audience’s key questions, and show how an idea can create real-world impact.

The customer-centered approach is core to the learning experience of the new online Master’s of Science in Engineering in Technology and Innovation (MSE-TI Online) program, where students learn to connect technical ideas to meaningful problems, customer needs, and solutions that create value.
