MEng Manufacturing Engineering with Management

Everything that we use, eat, watch, hear or wear is created using the skills of production engineers and managers. Production engineers and managers do not just create technological solutions though, they also motivate, organise and interact with others to make sure products and services are provided when and where customers’ needs exist. The demand industry’s need for those skilled in this area continues to increase as the demand for quicker turnaround times, to meet the requirements of increasing global customers and to provide enhanced online shopping and service experiences grows progresses.

Manufacturing Engineering with Management blends a more technical engineering focus (such as mechanics, manufacturing, electronics, maths, programming, engineering calculations of a products design) with production and management principles, and technology such as operational improvement and quality management. This is integrated with manufacturing processes, design, CAD, rapid prototyping and digital prototyping technologies, software and practical skills to turn the design and production process into reality which is fundamental to global market success. Considerations include environmental impact, reducing waste and increasing outputs to meet targets.

You will focus on engineering modules that allow you to develop your knowledge on how a product works technically such as:

• Engineering Mechanics
• Heat & Flow
• Electrical Circuits
• Electrical Machines & Control
• Product Programming
• Mechatronics Design & Applications

As well as modules which allow you to develop your production management skills in both manufacturing techniques and operations planning such as:

• Introduction to Production Engineering & Management
• Design & Manufacturing Management
• Production Techniques
• Analysing & Improving Operations
• Advanced Product Design & Manufacture
