Engineering Education and Management
The Engineering Education Management (EEM) team is a key part of the research network group working on the latest cutting edge topics with industrial partners via Postgraduate research projects in areas such as Industry 4.0 technologies, sustainability, circular economy, operations management, technology adoption, advanced and smart engineering materials and technology applications. The interdisciplinary nature of engineering and management research is widely recognized and considered to be the most appropriate and significant in the fast changing world. The EEM team collaborates with the staff across the School to ensure a wider and pragmatic approach to enhance staff and students research learning abilities as well being active in the applications of various grants and funding opportunities.
Furthermore, our EEM team have and continue to develop flagship programmes such as the Masters of Engineering Management (MEM). The Management theme programmes also applies to the more traditional Advanced Mechanical and Advanced electrical and Electronic programmes to ensure that the future graduating student have a balanced technical and management experience in preparation for the career that awaits them. Our staff are involved in a variety of engineering management areas, as outlined below.
