Industry Collaboration
The Engineering Management programme's close work with industry allows students to apply the knowledge and skills obtained from their courses in a practical way.
MEM Project Sponsorship
AnMEM Project Sponsorship package includes:
- A postgraduate student completing their Master of Engineering Management studies.
- The sponsor sets the goal and direction of the project to suit their business needs.
- Up to 400 hours of student work.
- Academic staff supervision as required.
- Projects typically cover an area of investigation which is technically based, but will focus on an area of process or business management.
- Typical projects include:
- Concept, development, planning and implementation of new manufacturing processes, systems and plant.
- Utilisation, efficiency, performance and optimisation reviews and action plans.
- Development and application of management systems (quality, materials, work patterns, control).
- New product/service analysis including domestic/international market assessment.
- Confidentiality is designed into the programme and students and staff sign a nondisclosure agreement. Project outcomes will only be shared publically if and when the sponsor agrees.
