Aim

The proposed program will provide potential leaders of industry with essential principles and advanced skills, and the latest practice and research outcomes in engineering and technology management. This program covers various areas of engineering and technology management including operation management, total quality
management, supply chain management, enterprise resource planning, robotics, automation, engineering
research method and project management. It also provides students with opportunities to develop and apply
those skills whilst integrating knowledge to complete a substantial independent project in the final year.

Content & Structure

The program provides graduates with extended knowledge in key areas of engineering and technology management covering operation management, total quality management, supply chain management, enterprise resource planning, robotics, automation, engineering research practice and project management.

In addition, it provides students with opportunities to develop and apply those skills whilst integrating knowledge to complete a practical industry project in their own area of interest or a project related to any research institutes affiliated to the school.

In the first year of the program students gain an appreciation of various operational aspects of managing the operations of an engineering organisation. This includes studies in areas such as quality management, project planning and control, intelligent production systems including the use of robotics and automation and energy management. In addition they develop engineering research methods skills and have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to a substantial work based project with a local organisation.

In the second year of the program students undertake more advanced studies which emphasise the strategic management of engineering operations. This includes consideration of issues relating to supply chain management and the enterprise resource management as well as economic management considerations. The course Operations Management Systems provides an integrative management of these various strategic aspects of engineering operations. The program also contains a minor thesis where students will apply their knowledge and research skills to a substantial research/ workplace project.
