This module develops students’ understanding of engineering management as an applied, analytical, and professional discipline. Building on introductory management concepts, it explores how engineers manage data, projects, people, and standards to deliver complex engineering systems in organisational contexts. Management is examined through three integrated dimensions: Data informed engineering management, Project and business plan operational management, and Standards, quality, and risk based professional practice. Students critically engage with how data is used to monitor performance, assess risk, and support decision making in engineering projects. They apply established project management methods to more complex and less well-defined engineering problems, considering constraints such as uncertainty, resource limitations, and stakeholder requirements. The module emphasises the role of engineering standards, quality systems, sustainability, health and safety, and ethical responsibility in ensuring that engineering activities are effective, compliant, and socially responsible. Students work both independently and in teams, using appropriate digital tools, and begin to exercise judgement in selecting and applying management approaches. The module prepares students for increased responsibility in later stages of their degree and for professional engineering environments where technical decisions are closely linked to managerial, regulatory, and organisational considerations.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Explain and apply fundamental engineering management principles, including data-based handling and decision making in project planning.

LO2: Collaborate and communicate effectively to complete defined engineering management tasks using appropriate tools.

LO3: Apply data analysis and project management tools to support data handling, planning and decision making in defined engineering contexts.
