Programme Aims and Objectives

The programme aims to equip students with:

• extensive knowledge in engineering management in supporting problem solving, decision making and undertaking projects of discovery and innovation;
• managerial skills, including, behavioural and communication skills, needed in the effective transition from the role of an engineer to that of an engineering manager;
• the ability to integrate and apply engineering and managerial knowledge in the management of engineering projects, operations, products and services in engineering/manufacturing enterprises and departments;
• the ability to generate innovative ideas, to undertake engineering management projects/research and turn the discovery & innovative ideas into practical implementation.

This programme aims to equip students with analytical, managerial, and behavioural skills / knowledge in aspect of contemporary engineering management in order to prepare them to meet the educational needs of engineers transiting into practising engineering managers.
