Across industries, demand is growing for knowledgeable, creative and responsible leaders – people who have both a deep understanding of the latest engineering and technological innovations, as well as the skills to lead teams and organisations.
This degree prepares you to become an engineering manager or director in an engineering or technology-based company, by exploring real-world issues, problems and opportunities – such as risk and feasibility studies, environmental management systems, and international issues – and contextualising it all with contemporary management techniques.
You’ll learn how to develop a commercial proposal to win a major project, design a strategic business plan to improve organisational productivity, and enhance competitive advantage in a rapidly changing technological environment.
Your management skills and expertise will be developed through an exploration of key topics and management techniques, including:
managing innovation and change management
agile management and adaptive leadership
development of customer-orientated organisations
effective problem solving
technology management
challenging established practices and norms
strategy development for national and global markets
business model development for organisation growth.
As a graduate of the Master of Engineering (Management), you’ll be well-placed to pursue a managerial or director role in mid to large enterprises.
Previous students have gone onto work for companies such as MMG, Shell, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, SKM, Arrow Energy, AGL and Hofmann Engineering, among many others.
This postgraduate qualification will help you to take on new management responsibilities and leadership roles in both engineering and technology-based organisations.
