C04094v4 Master of Engineering Management

Overview

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is the ideal course for engineers, technical specialists and others wishing to expand their managerial skills within a technology-based organisation. The MEM has been specifically designed to emphasise the interface between technology and management.

The MEM program provides an opportunity for engineers and others who are seeking career prospects in engineering management to undertake a formal course of relevant study at a Master's level. It may also be of benefit to current engineering managers to undertake formal study and gain recognition of their knowledge and experience.

Career options

Engineering and applied science jobs are becoming increasingly multi-disciplinary. Knowledge and skills in technical management gained from completing the MEM can assist in obtaining a high-quality engineering or engineering management position.

Articulation

Additional admission requirements

Applicants should hold a UTS Engineering or general degree or the equivalent from another higher education institution, or hold a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma at a level of performance deemed by the Faculty Board in Engineering to be satisfactory evidence of an ability to undertake Master's candidature.

Additional recognition of prior learning

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is considered in accordance with the University policy on RPL (which can be viewed online). The maximum amount of RPL granted is: 24 credit points if articulating from a Graduate Certificate course; 18 credit points for UTS BE graduates; and 12 credit points for all other students (without exception).

Course duration and attendance

The course duration is two years, if two subjects are taken per semester. The course can also be completed in one year of full-time study if four subjects per semester are completed. The program is structured for evening attendance or distance mode. Extra intensive classes may be held during Summer session.

Course structure

The course requires 48 credit points of study. A minimum of 36 credit points (six subjects) must be completed from the list of MEM core subjects. Any remaining credit points may be completed from other postgraduate subjects within the Faculty of Engineering (including a 12-credit-point graduate project). Not less than 60 per cent (five subjects) of the total number of credit points must be completed through subjects offered by the Faculty of Engineering.
