Engineering Management is concerned with the management of engineering principles within a business context. It allows the problem solving elements of engineering to be blended with project planning, management and organisational elements of companies, taking simple and complex projects from idea to delivery. The aim of our Engineering Management degree is to interface and integrate these key activities with the business organisation and financial management of companies large and small, national and global. Engineering companies involve complex chains of materials and supplies procurement, tiered suppliers, production processes and customer delivery, alongside the technical expertise of the different engineering disciplines. Business models and frameworks apply equally to engineering disciplines as well as other commercial sectors, with the management of legal and contractual requirements, and human resource commitments. Our IMechE and IET accredited BEng Engineering Management degree provides graduates with an understanding of basic engineering sciences and manufacturing processes. This allows the students to develop a solid foundation of engineering and technology vocabulary and understanding. Engineering Management BEng (Hons) degree is fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Lecture based modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and formal examinations taken at the end of each semester. Project module assessments require written reports and technical presentations, preparing you for your subsequent career. The proportion of coursework assessment is approximately 30% to 50% depending on degree course, semester/year and optional modules. By undertaking a year in placement or a year abroad, you will gain an additional award alongside your final qualification. If you complete an industrial placement year you will gain a Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS). If you undertake a professional placement year you will gain a Diploma in Professional Studies (DPS) or if you study abroad for a year you will gain a Diploma in International Studies (DIntS).
