In the 2016-2017 academic year, a novel Double Degree educational project named MEM (Master in Engineering Management) between the University of Parma and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) had begun. Since then, three (3) double degree master's programmes have been developed, starting with the Engineering Management course. To date, 113 students have attended the MEM programme. This paper aims to assess the impact of the MEM double degree programme. To this end, a questionnaire was developed and submitted to the students who completed the project and entered the workforce (66 students). An analysis of the survey results was then conducted to determine the impact, if any, of the MEM programme on the students' academic careers and/or their entry into the workforce. The results were compared across two (2) sets of students: those who participated in the programme and the students that graduated from the standard degree course.
