Available only to students in programme year 3 of a BEng or MEng programme or with the permission of the head of Engineering. (ES3586 is available to candidates following a non-Honours degree programme)
Overview
The course provides students with a broad ranging introduction to Engineering Management which should enable them to perform effectively as graduate engineers and in later more senior roles with broader ranging responsibilities. The course provides a brief introduction to risk, safety management, economics, organisations, management accounting, human resource management, contract/competition law and supply chain management. It also covers key professional skills such as time management, communication, teamwork and presentation of data. It concludes with a discussion of how one might go about setting a project up for success which students should find useful when embarking on individual and group projects at levels 4 and 5
