Introduction:
To maintain competitiveness in the current challenging environment, companies need effective leaders who understand both technology and business. Engineers with management training have opportunities to make valuable and lasting contributions. Therefore, there is an increasing global demand for specialists in engineering management, supply chain, continuous improvement techniques and sustainable development in both mechanical and manufacturing industry sectors.
The BEng (Hons) Engineering Management course at NTU Mansfield will take your engineering knowledge to the next level as you learn about the appropriate quantitative engineering tools for the analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of manufacturing engineering systems, processes and products. Alongside the technical engineering aspects and theory we'll develop your confidence with communication and team working skills which are essential in any management role.
You'll develop your business skills to deal with complex technical issues systematically. We teach you this in the current global economic, social and environmental context of industrial technology within the engineering sector.
As the level of automation in the Mansfield and Ashfield region grows, this course will align and work with the local industry to fulfil local demands and future-proof the workforce.

What you’ll study
The course balances the underpinning academic concepts, practical work, techniques and engineering management principles - all necessary for a successful career in engineering management. To develop your engineering skills you'll be applying your skills to real-world situations and problems, making you think and work like a professional engineer.
The modules will focus on relating theory to current engineering topics and issues. You'll explore developing and future technologies so you'll be at the forefront of what's happening in industry.
Advanced Operations Management (20 Credit Points)
Learn the theory and techniques to manage operations and improve business performance, including improvement philosophy, which addresses problems of transformation, change and redesign in organisations.
Ethics, Environment and Innovation (20 Credit Points)
During this module you'll apply the theories and concepts used by organisations to help them manage the innovation process for new technologies, products and processes, as well as exploring the ethical and environmental standards that both organisations and engineers must comply with.
Further Lean and Six Sigma Techniques (20 Credit Points)
Understand the range of Lean tools required for process change and to reduce and eliminate waste. The two underpinning lean tools of Six Sigma and DMAIC will be examined to allow for their process roles, key features, and common issues to be discussed and understood.
System Modelling and Simulation and Project Management (20 Credit Points)
You'll study the basic principles of computer simulation and its applications within the manufacturing industry. Learn to use an industry leading discrete-event simulation package (e.g. SIMIO) to model development life-cycles, where you'll get experience of data collection and analysis. This module also includes aspects of project management applied to change management implementation, engineering projects, government projects and IT based projects.
Individual Engineering Project (40 Credit Points)
This industrial or research project will bring together the knowledge, understanding and skills developed during your course. You'll investigate an engineering problem, implement solutions, critically evaluate and reflect on your work, and develop your abilities to communicate, self-organise and manage. You will also present your completed Professional Portfolio.
How you’re taught
The course is predominantly coursework-based with some practical assessments and class tests. Outside of timetabled sessions, you'll need to undertake self-directed independent study. This will include preparing for seminars, researching, completing coursework, and directed reading to expand your knowledge.
