Engineering Management Project
Description
In this course, students complete a project to demonstrate mastery in engineering management. Projects may relate to optimisation, data analytics, knowledge management, project management, technology evaluation and implementation, business operations in an engineering context, or sustainability evaluations. Students will have the opportunity to complete an industry focussed engineering management project through two options. The first option is to deliver an external industry project developed in EMGT 603. Approval of this first option will be subject to criteria, which includes performance in EMGT 603. In this first option, students can choose to develop a project based on their own interests. The second option is to complete an internal project with other students, in collaboration with an industry partner. In the second option, you may be partnered with students from other Masters degrees, to offer a cross-disciplinary approach for the industry partner. This second option is for students who wish to complete the project with other students or for students who do not meet the criteria for an individual industry project. Students will complete their project in a workplace and/or on campus.
