Aim

The program provides future leaders of industry with essential principles and advanced skills in engineering management. This program covers key areas of engineering management including operations management, total quality management, supply chain management, enterprise resource planning, robotics, automation, engineering research methods and project management.

Content & Structure

This program consists of 72 units of study.

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.

Notes

1. Normally students are required to complete the first year of the program before they commence the more advanced courses in the second year. In circumstances where students need to undertake courses in the second year of the program before completing the first year they must seek permission from the Program Director.

2. Normally students are required to have successfully completed at least 18 units in the program before enrolling in the Engineering Research Project or Minor Thesis. Engineering Research Project I and II, or Minor Thesis 1 and 2, should be taken consecutively over two semesters. Students wishing to undertake these courses concurrently must seek program director approval.

3. For the research component in the second year of this program, student can choose Option 1: Minor Thesis 1 and 2 (18 units of research component) or Engineering Research Project I and II (13.5 units of research component) with Lean Six Sigma course (4.5 units). Either option will be in total 18 units.

4. The course Operations Management Systems is regarded as a integrating course for the content of this program. Where possible students should undertake this course at the end of their program along with the completion of their research project or minor thesis.

5. Students enrolling in the elective course Learning in the Workplace Project EDUC 4192 should contact the course co-ordinator at least 6 weeks prior to the commencement of the teaching of the course to begin the process of being placed into a suitable project.
