Syllabus

Each module will help grow your understanding of a wide range of strategic engineering principles and how to apply these in your professional life. Each module combines key topics, along with postgraduate level content and assessments. The modules cover areas such as operations and supply chain management, risk management and innovation, data handling and decision making, and project management techniques.

The final research project gives you opportunity to undertake research in an area of your choice within engineering management. With support from an Arden University tutor, the research project develops your critical abilities and lets you demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of your chosen area of specialisation.

Careers

This advanced management master’s degree prepares students for senior leadership roles in the thriving engineering sector. Rather than focusing on the technical skills of engineering, this postgraduate programme will prepare graduates for the challenges faced when implementing strategic business ideas to real-world engineering scenarios.

This master’s degree prepares students to take on these challenges. Roles that graduates of master’s degrees in Engineering Management typically go into are:

  • Operations Manager
