Program focus

These Engineering Management programs provide graduates with knowledge of selected basic concepts and skills associated with engineering management in areas, such as sustainable development, technical risk assessment, and engineering asset management. The aim of the Master of Engineering Management program is to produce graduates who are equipped with essential management knowledge and an appreciation of the latest technologies much broader than their initial specialisation. The skill set would therefore allow the graduate to manage more complex technological or engineering businesses.
