C04094v5 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 a career 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 multidisciplinary. Knowledge and skills in technical management gained from completing the MEM can assist in obtaining a high-quality engineering or engineering management position.

Credit recognition

Students who have previously undertaken postgraduate study at a university or other recognised tertiary education institutions may be eligible for some academic credit recognition if the subjects previously completed are deemed by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology to be equivalent to subjects, and relevant to the course applied.

The prior study must have been completed before commencement of this course, but no earlier than 10 years before commencement. Students must be able to demonstrate that their knowledge is current.

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 for selected subjects.

Students who want to undertake the course in distance mode may have to follow a restricted course structure as not all subjects are offered in distance mode.

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. Elective subjects are to be chosen from postgraduate subjects offered within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology; some subjects may require prior approval based on access conditions.
