Engineering projects succeed not only through technical excellence, but also through effective leadership, teamwork and sound decision-making. This module introduces the management, commercial and legal knowledge needed to deliver successful engineering projects within modern organisations. You will explore how engineers manage projects, people, resources and risk while considering the ethical, environmental and financial factors that influence engineering decisions. Topics include project management, project risk management, leadership, entrepreneurship, accounting, marketing, human resource management and engineering law, providing insight into the wider professional responsibilities of engineers. Working in teams and using realistic case studies, you will develop the communication, leadership and decision-making skills needed to manage engineering projects effectively. Guest speakers from industry will share practical experience of project delivery, while links with FEEG2001 Systems Design and Computing provides opportunities to apply and assess project management, project risk management, leadership and teamwork skills within challenging group design projects. This integrated approach supports the development of effective management and collaborative working skills in the context of designing and delivering complex engineering projects, reflecting the professional practices expected of graduate engineers.

This module provides students with an introduction to management, accounting and law applicable to the operations of an engineering-based organisation. Emphasis is placed upon introducing managerial knowledge and skills required to apply effective management techniques to engineering projects. This is set within the context of ethical and environmental concerns and the entrepreneurial, financial, team development and legal processes determining sustainable success in business.

Students are taught and assessed within groups to address managerial decisions, accounting for engineering decision-making, law in engineering, marketing, human resource management, entrepreneurship, leadership, teamwork, project management and project risk management.

This module is linked to FEEG2001 Systems Design and Computing and SESS2016 Ship Structural Design and Production where group design projects provide the basis for assessing Project Management, Project Risk Management, Leadership and Teamwork skills. This supports the development of effective management and group working skills within the context of designing and delivering a challenging engineering project.

Guest lecturers from industry are invited to discuss their current industrial practice and project management experience. Case studies are used to illustrate key principles and to provide examples.

This course explores the use of mathematics as a toolbox for engineers need in order to calculate, model, visualise and design systems. The focus is on solving physical problems via equations, both analytically and numerically using computation, along with the development of representation and visualisation as a way of presenting solutions and designs.
