Engineer elevates career with technical ‘MBA’
Michael Braidford (MMSc ’17, Management of Technology), a professional engineer, was working as a production supervisor in the industrial gasses industry when he decided to upskill for a management role. Initially he considered doing an MBA, but he didn’t want to sacrifice the technical aspects of his work to earn a general business degree.
What he wanted was a master’s program that combined business learning with technical know-how. He found what he was looking for in the University of Waterloo’s Master of Management Sciences - Management of Technology program.
