Realize Potential Beyond Technical Skills

"The Engineering & Technology Innovation Management Program (E&TIM) is the perfect blend of technology and business, and it has provided me with the right training ground for a life of innovation and leadership. Having completed my undergrad in engineering (IT), and after gaining work experience in reputed IT firms for almost two years, I decided I needed a program that would help me realize my potential beyond just technical skills. The E&TIM program helped me hone my technical skills while supplementing my engineering background with business-oriented knowledge that made me more confident for entering the business world. The program’s strength lies in its flexibility, allowing students to structure their career path by choosing courses from a wide variety of schools and colleges at Carnegie Mellon. The summer internship provides hands-on experience in applying the skills learned during the spring semester to the real-world domain. I am currently an intern in the Product Management division of SAP Labs. My work involves understanding customer requirement specifications, developing use cases, and performing data modeling. I act as the bridge between the customer advisory and the development teams, and I’ve found that this role has helped me build managerial, technical, presentation and, above all, my teamwork skills. The E&TIM program’s agile structure powered by the stimulating academic environment and interaction with the distinguished faculty at Carnegie Mellon University has proven immensely fruitful."
