The Master of Engineering Management program is unique because of its flexible structure which is an intrinsic element of its success, appeal, and international recognition. This statement is made not only on the basis of positive feedback and student enrolments - our program was recently referred to in the highly reputable "Journal of Civil Engineering: The Magazine of The American Society of Civil Engineers" (November 2007, Volume 77, No 11, pp. 54-55). This journal was the forum for the recent discussion in the USA of "The 21-st Century Engineer: A proposal for Engineering Education Reform" and identified our Masters program as an exemplar of good practice and flexible structure. As such it advocated that our Master of Engineering Management be used as a model to direct evolutionary changes in engineering education. We are proud to attract such international acknowledgement and to offer this program to engineers from Australia and internationally.
Engineering management - the art and science of planning, organising, allocating resources, directing and controlling activities which have a technical component, is rapidly becoming recognised as a professional discipline. Engineering managers are distinguished from other managers by the fact that they possess both the ability to apply engineering principles, and the skills in which to organise and lead people with technical and non-technical priorities.
The Master of Engineering Management program is designed to:
The Master of Engineering Management program is distinguished by its flexibility.
The program can be tailored according to individual student needs, based on elements such as their background, personal interest or organisational requirements for career progression.
Courses may be selected from the list of approved courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (offered in either Semester 1 or 2) and the Newcastle Business School (offered in Trimester 1, 2 or 3). A number of courses may also be studied online through GraduateSchool.com. International students who are residents in Australia and who wish to complete studies online should contact the Program Convenor for advice.
Please Note: Not all courses are available in each semester or trimester.
Engineering in real industrial life is in transition to management. You no longer deal with traditional "nuts and bolts" - you manage people, projects, technology, and/or finance. The Master of Engineering Management program recognises this fact and equips engineers with the managerial component that is needed in this global transition, enhancing your engineering knowledge and specialisation at the same time. This program is relevant to all engineering sections of industry and is of utmost importance to those who plan to work at a managerial level.
