This flexible 30-hour program is designed to meet the needs of traditional students and current professionals, with class times compatible with the working day, including lunchtimes and evenings. Students generally meet twice a week for classes lasting 1 hour, 15 minutes. All classes are recorded so students can study remotely or in person.
The flexible 30-hour engineering management programme provides the educational foundation necessary to plan, design, optimise and direct complex engineering programs, processes, and systems, and manage the teams that make them work.
There are three required courses on the engineering management programme: probability and statistics for engineers, engineering economics and engineering organisational development. Students then pick one project-based course from several options including six sigma for engineers, management of engineering systems, case studies in engineering management or a thesis.
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in engineering, physics, chemistry, applied mathematics or a related subject. A minimum 3.0 cumulative grade-point average on a 4.0 scale is expected, but applicants with a GPA below 3.0 may be admitted on a conditional basis. Candidates who don't fulfil all requirements but have relevant work experience may also be considered.
The engineering management program prepares students to accelerate a professional career as leaders and managers across all fields of engineering.
