The M.S. in Engineering Management program is appropriate for a wide range of industrial and/or technically-focused individuals who have previously earned a four-year degree in technology, business, engineering or science. It meets the needs of technical professionals who are looking for both an advanced degree and appropriate preparation for their natural progression into management-level positions. It also meets the needs of professionals who are on a technical, rather than managerial, career track, as it will help them to be more effective in managing the integration of their technically-focused jobs with others in team-based projects. Our program particularly fits the needs of busy professionals working in business, industry, and the military who may be located anywhere in the world, by being available completely online, as well as on the EMU campus.
The E.M. program focuses on management of technology and intellectual property; research and development; engineering and technical projects; design and manufacturing; people, resources and organizations; quality; and lean enterprise systems. Knowledge in these areas helps technical specialists to do their current jobs better and provides solid preparation and an advanced degree for promotion to management levels.
In addition to earning an advanced degree, many of our E.M. students attain professional certification in one or more specialty areas of Engineering Management. The program offers tracks and focused courses that help students (with appropriate experience and credentials) attain several internationally-recognized professional certifications. These certifications include (a) S.M.E.’s Certified Engineering Manager (C.E.M.), Certified Enterprise Integrator (C.E.I.), Certified Manufacturing Technologist (C.Mfg.T.), and Certified Manufacturing Engineer (C.Mfg.E.); (b) P.M.I.’s Certified Associate in Project Management (C.A.P.M.) and Project Management Professional (P.M.P.); and (c) S.M.E.’s Lean Certifications. The program also offers a track for attaining EMU’s Graduate Quality Certificate.
The specialty tracks of the program facilitate preparation for passing the examinations for the professional certifications noted above, and include:

- Research and Development

- Design and Manufacturing

- Project/Program Management

- Lean Enterprise Systems

- EMU Graduate Quality Certificate

The Research and Development track is a 36-credit-hour program and requires the completion of a research-based formal development project or thesis.

This course provides postgraduate education for existing and future professionals on the background, principles and practices of environmental management, particularly in the context of wet-dry and semi-arid tropical ecosystems. The generic skills concepts and applications covered in this course are also highly relevant to those working in other ecosystems. The course also includes a focus on the social context within which environmental management takes place.

Specific objectives of this course include providing a program that is flexible and caters to the needs of individual students. The flexibility of unit selection means students can undertake the course fully externally or internally, or a combination of both, depending on unit selection. Internally enrolled students attend tutorials on campus, while having full access to the materials provided to external students. Small class sizes mean that all students have ready access to staff, via collegial distance or face-to-face interactions.

While all candidates will enrol into the Master program, alternative exit points are available after one semester of study (Graduate Certificate) or two semesters of study (Graduate Diploma), subject to the candidate completing two or four specialist electives, respectively.

Student-centred, resource and activity-based learning materials provide a stimulating program that is balanced between updating content knowledge and technical skills, developing conceptual skills, and the application of these for natural resource management within its social context. The program continues to respond to the changing needs of employers and other stakeholders, with the latest outcomes of regional research incorporated into learning materials.

Graduates of this course may seek employment in areas of research or environmental and natural resources management, within regional natural resource management agencies, environmental NGOs, Indigenous natural resources management organisations, consultancy firms or the resources sector. Students with consistently high grades and a high-quality research project may be able to pursue a higher degree by research.

Cross-institutional partnerships.
In addition to CDU units, we also support students selecting electives from other universities with which we have program-level agreements. These include University of Greenwich (UK), James Cook University (Australia) and The University of Adelaide (Australia). We are currently developing agreements with the University of Illinois-Springfield (USA) and Gadjah Mada University (Indonesia). .

Entry Requirements

Successful completion of a recognised bachelors degree, graduate diploma or honours degree or equivalent in a relevant field, such as biological science, earth science, environmental engineering, environmental science, geography, geographic information, sustainability studies or other discipline as deemed appropriate. Applicants who hold a degree not in the disciplines listed above may be considered on the basis of relevant professional experience.
