Overview

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is an opportunity for engineers, technical specialists and non-technical professionals to build and stretch their managerial skills and integrate their business and technical knowledge.

The MEM has been specifically designed to emphasise the interface between engineering, technology and management. The integration of carefully tailored coursework and an independent project delivers graduates who understand the professional, societal and environmental context and have developed a range of management and engineering capabilities to respond to it.

Career options

The MEM program provides an opportunity for those who aspire to excellence to challenge themselves at the master's level, deepen their skills and knowledge and gain a competitive edge in the industry.

Course intended learning outcomes

B.1 Master of Engineering Management graduates engage and influence a broad range of diverse stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of values, needs, and priorities. They identify and evaluate performance requirements (such as social, environmental, capital expense, safety, operational, maintenance, and reliability, quality and cost effectiveness) of novel problems.
C.1 Master of Engineering Management graduates apply design thinking, decision making methodologies and leadership practices to propose management solutions and implementation strategies. They exercise judgement to evaluate and respond to system sustainability, constraints, risks, conflicts and uncertainties (social, economic and environmental).
D.1 Master of Engineering Management graduates research and evaluate concepts and theories and synthesise concepts in Management and its different areas of practice (Business, Organisational, Project, Quality, and Human Resource). They predict and judge the impacts of management solutions using ethical, social, commercial and environmental metrics of success.
E.1 Master of Engineering Management graduates communicate in a variety of ways (accurate and active listening, dialogue, reading, writing, negotiating and contractually) to coordinate, manage and lead diverse teams and projects. They collaborate formally and informally to engage, influence and manage.
F.1 Master of Engineering Management graduates self-review their own competence to practice proficiently, anticipate consequences of intended actions or inaction and identify ethical dilemmas when they arise. They seek and provide constructive reviews to improve themselves, their teams, and management practice.

Admission requirements

To be eligible for admission to this course, applicants must meet the following criteria.

Applicants must have one of the following:

  • Completed master’s or doctoral degree, or overseas equivalent

OR

  • Completed bachelor's degree, graduate diploma or graduate certificate, or overseas equivalent, with more than 75% of all subjects completed at pass level (conceded pass not included)

Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.

International students

International students admitted in courses offered offshore are not eligible for a student visa to study in Australia.

Inherent requirements

Inherent requirements are academic and non-academic requirements that are essential to the successful completion of a course. For more information about inherent requirements and where prospective and current students can get assistance and advice regarding these, see the UTS Inherent requirements page.

Prospective and current students should carefully read the Inherent Requirements Statement below and consider whether they might experience challenges in successfully completing this course.

UTS will make reasonable adjustments to teaching and learning, assessment, professional experiences, course related work experience and other course activities to facilitate maximum participation by students with disabilities, carer responsibilities, and religious or cultural obligations in their courses.

For course specific information see the Faculty of Engineering & Information Technology Inherent (Essential) Requirements Statement.

Recognition of prior learning

Students may be eligible for up to a total of 24cp of subject exemptions based on recognition of prior learning (RPL) as follows:

  • Students who have completed subjects deemed by the faculty as being equivalent subjects in a postgraduate program or UTS recognised undergraduate engineering program of a minimum of 4 years or equivalent.
  • Subject exemption is applicable only to 24cp from CBK90927 Options (MEM).

Other/additional RPL may be granted via subject substitution to an alternative/advanced postgraduate subject in a similar field of study.

To be considered for recognition of prior learning, subjects must normally have been completed no more than ten years prior to the commencement of this course.

Course duration and attendance

With 24 credit points of credit recognition applied, the course duration is 1.33 years of part-time study if two subjects are taken per teaching period (the Chinese academic year is broken into three sessions). The program is structured for block mode attendance.

Course structure

Students complete coursework subjects and an independent engineering graduate project totalling 48 credit points after credit recognition has been applied. The project component is typically undertaken in the last session of study.
