What can I do with a Masters Degree In Industrial Management Technology


What can I do with a Masters Degree In Industrial Management Technology?
I have a B.S in Comp Sci, but with the way things are now in the tech industry and jobs being shiped out i am considering a master degree. I was initially considering going for a second b.s in Information Systems because it gives me some business background also but i think to really stay ahead now a masters in most likely better. I came across this program and still doing more search on it Industrial Managment or Industrial Technology with a Management and quality control concentration. it basically combines management skill with technical skills such as stat quality control, project management, engineering cost analysis, industrial psychology, prob & stat, design of experiments and get to take 3-4 MBA corses also. It is very interesting but not sure as to what i can do with it or it its is only tailored to manufacturing enviroment only?

This masters degree would be more focused on the business aspect of everything. This would be your field if you wanted to work for anyone who manufactures anything. You would occasionally do some coding or some CS problem solving, but most of that would be left to the grunts with bachelors degrees in robotics tech or industrial engineering (lowest form of engineering, beneath civil engineering). It wouldn't be very good outside of manufacturing, but the MBA courses would be helpful for any kind of business. If you really wanted to step up your technical skills, then you could go for a masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering, but then you would have to catch up on at least 2, maybe 3 or 4 semesters of math, plus circuit theory, embedded systems, and digital circuit design before you would be remotely ready for the masters program. I'm going for a bachelors in Electrical engineering, and I've got two whole years worth of specialized EE classes with no electives to go (just one extra math and one extra CS if you can count those as electives, and nothing else). There is also the masters in CS, and that might catch you up further on theory about some of the more interesting new developments in computers. But if you're really good at CS, meaning that you didn't just work off of your group's success in team projects and got A's, then chances are that your skills probably won't be outsourced as easily. It's IT that has more to worry about being outsourced.
