MSc Engineering Management

The MSc Engineering Management programme is normally studied over two years on part-time basis or one year on a full-time basis. The programme is divided into study units called modules. A module is a unit of study with credits according to the subject and nature of learning. Students on the MSc Project Management take 180 credits at level 4. Each module has a credit value of either 30 or 60 credits. Each 30 credit module represents approximately 300 hours of student learning, endeavour and assessment.

The list of modules along with the level, type and credit points are listed below.

Module and programme information is indicative and may be subject to change.

• Year 1
  • Engineering 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 a student’s communication skills to enable them to communicate their findings in a written and group presentation.

  • Engineering Project Management (30 Credits) - Compulsory

    The aim of this module is to prepare students to be able to apply project management techniques to achieve quality engineering solutions using human and financial resources in a given time frame. On the completion of the module, the successful student will be able to: 1. understand the principles of project management and their limitations; 2. plan a project process including recruitment and managing a project team; 3. be able to make decisions on the use of resources in an engineering project; and 4. evaluate project costs and schedules.

  • 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.

  • Human Resource Management in Engineering (15 Credits) - Compulsory This module enables students to apply a range of human resource management techniques in engineering management situations.
  • Financial Management in Engineering (15 Credits) - Compulsory This module enables students to use financial management tools to achieve engineering solutions using financial resources.
  • Logistics and Supply Chain (30 Credits) - Compulsory

    The aim of the module is to understand the operation of supply chains in an engineering enterprise and to be able to control the logistical operation. On the completion of the module, the successful student will be able to: Understand the impact of the supply chain on an engineering enterprise, understand how to model a supply chain, make decisions on the use of resources by evaluating costs and schedules to achieve a logistics strategy and critically evaluate the performance of the logistics network on the business.
