According to Me Both Degree Are Good Master of Engineering Management is Specific for Engineering Courses On the Other Hand MBA is Open for All the Difference Between the Following Courses Are as follow

1. Educational background
The MEM degree is mainly suited for those with their graduation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) degree.

It serves as a good post-graduate degree choice for engineers (primarily) or those wishing to take their career higher in the technology area.

The MEM course offers management and leadership skills with a focus on technical disciplines.

An MBA, on the other hand, is a good option for graduates from any background, though wed see an overload of STEM graduates crashing the party here as well.

Work experience requirement
If youre planning to head straightaway for your post-graduation without any work experience, there are several MEM programs including the ones offered by Cornell university, Dartmouth college, Duke university, Stanford, University of South California. These universities do not require candidates to have any work experience.

There are others like MIT that do have a minimum work experience criteria.

For applying to the top MBA program in the US, youd need to demonstrate good work experience of at least 2-3 years inorder to get into a good b school.


Duration and cost
Most of the MEM programs including those offered by top universities like Duke, Cornell, Dartmouth among others can be completed within a period of 12-15 months. The tuition fees would be in the range of $50,000 $60,000; the cost of living would also work out to be lower due to the shorter duration of the course.

Career scope
The MEMs multidisciplinary curriculum aims at providing a technology focus combined with the management perspective. This helps you develop skills thatll facilitate a well-integrated approach so that you can use your acquired business skills along with your engineering background to lead projects and take the right decisions mainly in the technology area.

With an MBA, you can work in a variety of areas including technology, finance, marketing, strategy, operations or human resources. You take up a job in a new functional role within the same industry or make a complete shift to take up a role in a new industry after completing your MBA.
