Technology and Management
Program
A common vision unites the Technology and Policy Program (TPP),
which offers a master of science degree, and the Technology, Management,
and Policy Program (TMP), which offers a doctor of philosophy degree.
They emphasize dual competency in a technical area and in management
and policy as the basis for effective design of large-scale systems.
The Technology, Management, and Policy program is a multi-disciplinary
doctoral program that encourages research intended to improve the
methods used in defining and implementing policies for the intelligent
use of technology. Each student's program focuses simultaneously
on a technology discipline and an applied social science such as
economics, management, law, or political science. This bridging
between disciplines distinguishes TMP from programs confined to
a single disciplinary perspective.
Doctoral students work with a variety of MIT research centers and
educational programs that are concerned with the study of large-scale
systems. Research at CTPID's Technology, Business, and Environment
(TBE) Program broadened the educational experience of this PhD candidate:
"As a graduate researcher, TBE allowed me to ground my theoretical
training in economic and organizational behavior in the real world
experiences of firms dealing with their impact on the natural environment.
"In the process, TBE has enhanced both the theoretical sophistication
and the general applicability of my doctoral research."

TPP and TMP, along with CTPID's research programs, are part of
MIT's new Engineering Systems Division (ESD). Through ESD, nine
research centers and educational programs will jointly develop and
support integrative educational programs aimed at preparing engineering
students to take leadership roles.
