Opleiding: Engineering Management, MSc
Learning purpose
A report published by the Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Mathematics in the UK in 2008 outlines a global need within all engineering sectors to develop world-class management skills. The Engineering Management masters has been designed by Middlesex to offer a unique new course that responds to these demands by creating engineering professionals with strong business, management and leadership skills.
Programme
The MSc Management Scienceis for graduates, ideally with some industrial experience, who wish to move into management positions within the engineering industry. The course provides the latest experiences of current best practice with regard to human, financial and Total Quality Management (TQM) of an engineering enterprise.
You will be assessed through a combination of coursework, presentations, a project and unseen examinations.
- Engineering Management Group Project (60 Credits) - Compulsory
- Module aims to develop a student s team working skills in planning and execution of a group product development exercise, drawing on their acquired knowledge from other modules appropriate to their programme. In addition, the module aims to develop astudent s communication skills to enable them to communicate their findings in a written and group presentation.
- Engineering Project Management (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- To be able to apply project management techniques to achieve quality engineering solutions using human and financial resources in a given time frame
- Engineering Simulation (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- This module will enable students to understand the scientific methods underlying the modelling of real systems. It will further expand their understanding of a range of sophisticated mathematical techniques and simulation methods using the examples facilitated by engineering systems. Case studies will be used to illustrate how models can be validated against real measurements. Assessment procedures are designed to enable students to deliver academically significant modelling performances.
