Course Overview
The demand for individuals with technical knowledge combined with business and leadership skills is driven by the increasing complexity of engineering projects, and the need for professionals who can manage diverse teams to ensure that projects of high standard and quality are completed within an agreed timescale and budget.
Attributes of Engineering Managers
Engineering Managers must typically combine technical knowledge and strong understanding of engineering concepts, with business management techniques to solve engineering problems. Furthermore, these attributes must then be supplemented with leadership skill to enable them to effectively manage cross-functional teams, oversee complex engineering projects, and make strategic business decisions related to engineering. This course was developed in consultation with industry to ensure that its graduates have the desired attributes.
