School of Engineering Management (SEM) is the first school of the international level in the field of engineering, the purpose of which is to train specialists in the field of IT, engineering and Big Data with managerial competences.

Then Ministers of education and science of the two States signed an agreement in which a special role was given to the cooperation of Kazakhstani universities with French higher engineering schools. That time Almaty Management University was involved in one of the core projects in this direction.
Mission of the school is to prepare engineers with managerial competences, able to discover "blue oceans" and to create innovations across industries.
