MEng Engineering Management
About this course
MEng (Hons) Engineering Management, an engineering degree combining technical systems design and business management principles. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Accounting, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. This five-year programme includes a compulsory industrial placement year leading to the Diploma in Professional Practice. The first year covers foundational engineering mathematics, 3D computer-aided engineering, materials science, and management studies through modules such as Engineering Mathematics, Design and CAE 1, The Global Engineer, Materials and Manufacturing 1, Marketing and Management Studies, and Fundamentals of Engineering and Technology. Year 2 explores financial awareness, algorithmic programming, manufacturing systems, design analysis, and materials behaviour via Financial Awareness for Engineers, Engineering Programming, Manufacturing Systems, Design and CAE 2, and Materials and Manufacturing 2, with optional choices in digital transformation or automation. Year 3 consists of optional industrial placement, international academic study, or study in the USA. Fourth-year studies focus on business strategy, major design projects, production systems, and innovation through Business Strategy, Design and Industry, Production Systems, and The Nature of Innovation, alongside optional subjects like nanotechnology, environmental engineering, smart manufacturing technologies, and advanced CAE. The final year involves advanced systems design, specialized manufacturing studies, and independent research through MEng Final Year Dissertation, Engineering Systems Design, and Advanced Manufacturing Systems, with further optional modules covering frontier technologies, quality improvement, and composite engineering.
