“The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is very pleased to see the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Engineering launch a master’s level degree program built around the principle that hazards can be prevented best by “engineering” them out at the initial design stage. Through this new degree program, UAB is truly educating students for the 21st century.”

"You start looking at things differently. You start looking at how things can be better and how you can solve a problem before it becomes a problem. That's what I like about UAB!" ~Tony Davis
"Live, real-time online lectures and that is something I was looking forward too. Also the peer-to-peer learning. That is fascinating, very brilliant use of technology." ~Albertine Doibo
"Brian would be looking at a program more technical. I'd be looking something more MBA based. We were looking to find something that had both and the ASEM program has that." ~Ryan Williams
“I just wanted to stretch and grow and reach my full potential. UAB’s reputation is stellar. Dr. Bidez’s modules and depth of her knowledge, it’s just a tremendous privilege for me to be a part of the program.” ~Rose M. Lindsey
The first year anniversary of the UAB Master of Engineering degree program in Advanced Safety Engineering and Management was celebrated at the 2011 ASSE conference in Chicago, IL (6/12-15/11).
