Master of Engineering (Engineering Management)

In Engineering Management you will learn the latest engineering theories and apply them to areas such as operations management, resource management, total quality management, lean six sigma, engineering economics, supply chain management and project management. You’ll be immersed in real-world challenges and study elective courses to suit your personal professional development needs.

As part of your studies you’ll develop skills in engineering research methods and project management. In your final year you will use these skills, working on a major industry project in your area of interest, or completing a minor thesis.

If you decide to exit this degree having completed the first four courses, you will receive the Graduate Certificate in Engineering (Engineering Management). If you have completed the first eight courses, you will receive the Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Engineering Management). 

In your first year of study you’ll learn about managing the operations of an engineering organisation. Through a choice of electives, you can study quality management, project planning and control, intelligent production systems (including robotics and automation), lean six sigma, procurement management and energy management.

In your second year you’ll explore the strategic management of engineering operations. This includes supply chain, enterprise resource, operation management and engineering management with minor thesis components.

Key to this degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your Research Project or Minor Thesis in the second year. You can choose to work on these as part of a substantial work-based project with a local organisation.
