Top of pagePurpose of the Program
There is significant and continuing global growth in engineering and technology based enterprises, with a concommitant demand for skilled engineering and technology oriented managers expected to grow 8 percent over the 2006-16 decade. Projected employment growth for engineering managers will be in line with growth in demand for the engineers and scientists they supervise and the industries in which they work. This growth has provided the resources and increased the demand by graduate engineers to undertake postgraduate studies in order to enhance their future employability in increasingly competitive environments.
The objective of the program is to prepare you for supervisory and leadership roles in engineering and technology-based organisations. You will demonstrate that you can meet the increasing demands by industry, government and the community for knowledgeable, creative and responsible leadership.
You will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the many facets of contemporary management and the impact of new technology and technological change on engineering and technology based organizations. You will be exposed to real-world issues, problems and opportunities in such areas as: managing innovation, developing systems thinking approaches, quality management, environmental management systems, and technology management.
This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City Campus. While most courses in the program are delivered on campus, others are delivered online
