Overview
The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) aims at Engineers who see their careers progressing into management. The program provides a very strong grounding in current management thinking that is applicable to the engineering and manufacturing industries. The MEM program focuses on the need for students to acquire and demonstrate a command of creative, analytical and conceptual skills and challenges the student to analyse, diagnose and execute strategic judgments across all engineering functions. Graduates of this program will become empowered to work in teams and understand managers from other disciplines including finance, human resources and marketing.

Course Structure
There are two entry levels to the Master of Engineering Management program. If the student has completed a three-year undergraduate degree program, or a four-year program without a research component, they will enter the MEM at the foundation level. This will involve taking two engineering subjects prior to starting out on the main program. If the student has completed a four-year degree that included a research component, they will enter directly onto the main program.
Candidates are required to complete nine (9) subjects (60 credit points) divided into seven (7) compulsory core subjects including Dissertation – (12 credit points) and two (2) elective subjects to be selected from the approved subjects provided each session.
