| The OEM Program has provided me with so much! I’ve learned things that are directly and immediately applicable to my job; my boss is constantly pinging me about what I've learned in OEM and asking me how I think it can best be used in our department. I've developed the skills required to excel at my current position or to move on to larger responsibilities, and I've made friendships that I'm certain will last a lifetime. And best of all, I'm a Gator! I went into the program with great expectations, and have benefited even more than I could have imagined. |

| The OEM program is great. It has a perfect mix of classes and excellent instructors from both the business and engineering sides. OEM was a perfect transition into the business side of engineering, and gave me a better understanding of the business aspects of my company. Following OEM, I completed a 12-month MBA program at UF. The OEM program was the bridge I needed to make this possible. |
|
The OEM program provides a good balance of the technical aspect of engineering with the business side of industry. This program has allowed me to obtain new opportunities and has opened doors for me to advance in my career. The material taught is very practical and provided me with important tools for my job.

| I’ve recently accepted a position with an international pharmaceutical company, an opportunity which would never have arisen without a Master’s degree. My new employer was very specifically impressed with my OEM degree --they liked the combination of technical and business training. I am convinced it positioned me into the senior level position I was offered. |

| I selected the OEM program because of the strong engineering component coupled with a management emphasis, and it delivered. The best thing about OEM is that it’s a program especially for managers of industrial processes. For a technical manager, that makes it more than an MBA. An added bonus is the close interaction with engineers from the best companies in the state. We still keep in touch, talking over problems and exchanging ideas--a welcome long-term benefit. |
|
I always wanted to get my master’s, but opportunities for engineering higher education are pretty limited. Then I heard about the OEM program. It’s just fantastic. It’s a visionary approach to learning. The professors were all top notch. The work is challenging, too. It is stretching me, both personally and professionally. The chance to network with other engineers is a big benefit. It is the next step in the career of any engineer who wants to be in management.

The OEM program was exactly what I was looking for when I decided to go back to school. I felt it was a better option than a pure MBA program because of its technical content, and the one-weekend-a-month schedule fit in better with my busy lifestyle. The professors are world class and the content provides an excellent balance of business and engineering topics. Also, the opportunity to work with other engineers in the area on group projects led to insights and contacts that I will value forever. Without it, I feel I would not have been able to move on to the position that I have today. |
