49013 Managing Information Technology in Engineering

Description

The aim of this subject is to explore the influence of information technology (IT) on organisations and management, and in particular engineering management. Students critically examine both older and more recent IT innovations. Issues in IT extend to groupware, computer-aided logistic support, decisions support systems, tools for systems engineering, and communications technology, including the internet. Students use a computer-mediated conferencing tool on the internet to participate in group project work either on or off campus. Most of the support material is available from a specific, interactive information tool (Canvas) and the internet.
