Engineering Management programs in the United Kingdom are rising in popularity as the industry familiarizes to the idea of new engineering graduates who are both business and tech-savvy. If you have analytical and technical skills and a vision of a big picture with the skill to tackle the challenge on a daily basis, then a career in Engineering Management can be your dream job.
Engineering Management is applying management practice to engineering methodology. A specialized type of management is required to lead engineering workers and ensure the effective execution of projects.
This course will prepare our students for an organization pathway in the engineering industry. The students will research the main areas of project management and operations, which will provide you with the opportunity to use statistical analysis and methods of optimization to solve a variety of problems. You will also grasp an understanding of approaches towards project planning, control, and strategy for operations. There are also opportunities to discover several optional modules that allow you the freedom to build your study path to match your interests.
The requirement of Engineering Management resources is present in many industries. Many managers in engineering work first as engineers, before moving into management roles. Many of the primary responsibilities include project management, testing, and product creation. They serve as managers who devise plans to see a good completion of the projects and handle all staff from various technical backgrounds and cross-disciplinary and regional teams. Their job role includes making sure that the finished product is properly budgeted and sponsored by upper management. Supervisory and recruiting skills are essential to every manager and should be part of a master's degree in engineering management. Also, these skills do not come easily to engineers, but they can be acquired by obtaining a MEM degree. Getting both management skills and engineering skills will significantly increase your chance for success.
Engineering managers will remain in high demand with an increase in public sector infrastructure projects and companies going global. The engineering degree establishes expertise in mathematics, technology, communications and humanities and thus prepares professionals for a range of jobs including Cost Systems Analyst, Construction Management Engineer, Senior Lead Analyst, Engineering Project Manager, Industrial Management Engineer etc.
