The MSEM program has a long history. It was launched in the late 1980s and was the first MSc program in Engineering Management in Asia and one of the pioneers in the world. Since its launch, the program has become one of the most popular programs in the College of Science & Engineering at CityU. With the success of the MSc program, the department launched its BEng Program in Industrial Engineering & Engineering Management in the mid. 1990s and its flag ship Engineering Doctorate program in Engineering Management in 2010.
The uniqueness of the programme as compared with other management programmes lies in the following:
- Engineering Management Context
While the management skills are common, the engineering managers manage activities with a strong engineering/technical content. This programme provides the strong engineering management context.
- Functional Needs of Engineering Management
The functions of general and engineering managers are significantly different. General managers are oriented towards business issues. Engineering managers undertake professional functions such as engineering project management, engineering operations planning and control and product / services development. This programme aims to develop a critical understanding of the academic and professional knowledge required in the execution of these engineering management functions.
- Empathy
Engineers have special strengths and weaknesses. This programme focuses on the characteristics of engineers as a group. This facilitates the concentration and empathy required for the successful transition from the role of engineers to that of engineering managers.
- Accreditation by Hong Kong Society of Quality (HKSQ)
The course SEEM6047 "Quality Improvement: Systems and methodologies" has been accredited by the Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ). Students who had successfully completed the course are eligible to apply for registration as Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (HKSQ). Please check here for the details and procedure.
