Start Date between Sept 22 - July 27

The goal of this module is to equip students with knowledge and tools to identify improvement opportunities in engineering supply chains. The module will be structured around the six sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) methodology that is widely used within continuous improvement initiatives. Using this methodology and a range of specific tools students will have the understanding and skills to identify waste within supply chain processes and take positive steps to reduce it.

This module is designed to help students develop and demonstrate the skills required to carry out a substantial individual project in a chosen aspect of Engineering Management. Core skills for conducting the individual project are first developed through participation in a small group project based on a pre-prepared case study guided online learning.

This module seeks to broaden students’ understanding of innovation practice and the management of innovation in an engineering business context. It exposes students to a range a range of models, approaches and tools which can support their innovation process and deepen their understanding of the impact of innovation and the challenges of delivering innovation.

Students will learn how to critically evaluate current innovation methodologies and understand the contextual nature of innovation. They will be taught to appreciate how product, people and process have an impact on innovation. Students will have the opportunity to reflect on the impact of learning from the module on personal and professional development.

This module provides an introduction to strategic thinking and business strategy in Engineering businesses and organisations. Students will learn how Engineering organisations interpret and engage with their stakeholders and environments, develop unique capabilities, implement strategic change and set up and maintain strategic alliances in order to achieve competitive advantage. In the module, key strategic management concerns are also considered through the lenses of sustainability, social responsibility and ethics.

This module seeks to broaden students’ understanding of enterprise and business planning in an engineering context. Students will explore the foundations of establishing a successful business and identify the key concepts needed to manage this process. Students will also explore the practical aspects of business management, finance, marketing and business plan execution and will be encouraged to reflect on current practice and develop knowledge and experience in business planning.
