Course Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a course. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes.
| Course Learning Outcome |
|---|
Critically evaluate and synthesise a complex issue or theory from a discipline area to arrive at a conclusion/decision with justification. Develop cognitive and technical skills to review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise engineering and management knowledge to identify and find solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence. |
Adapt knowledge and skills in diverse contexts to form alternative solutions to complex problems. |
Apply ethics and judgment to complex engineering problems. Apply discipline based knowledge and skills that require autonomy and a high level of responsible behaviour. |
Develop technical skills and an in-depth understanding of specialist bodies of engineering knowledge. Apply and integrate research principles and methods to complex management situations. |
Self manage and be resourceful and effective at developing new knowledge and applying it to engineering management problems. Develop appropriate professional practice, reflection skills, and leadership and management competencies through study. |
Effectively communicate engineering and management ideas, concepts and arguments using written mediums to a variety of audiences. Critically reflect on self and team regarding participation and performance. |
Engage with diverse cultural and indigenous perspectives with engineering, leadership and management environments. Apply and integrate research principles and methods to complex management situations. |
Units typically include written and/or oral assignments that match real-life work tasks: reports, literature reviews, discussion board posts, case studies, presentations, research studies and plans. We support your performance via weekly activities that scaffold learning and act as a rehearsal space for the assessments.
At Southern Cross University, we try to fit our course around you, with six seven-week study periods available per year. You can adapt your enrolment to the peaks and troughs of your life by choosing which blocks to study in. It's perfect for people who travel frequently, work abroad, or need to balance work and other commitments.
We use clever, user-friendly, interactive learning software that lets you collaborate with your classmates and lecturers. Our multi-modal approach delivers content as video, audio, hands-on, practical exercises, and other media to suit all kinds of learners. Discuss and debate ideas with your peers and lecturer in dedicated forums and with other networking technology.
Each unit has its own website to keep you focused. Every week, you'll find activities, readings and case studies laid out with step-by-step instructions. As the weeks progress and your knowledge deepens, you'll be challenged by increasingly sophisticated concepts, and employ critical analysis.
Get ready for an intense but rewarding course; each seven-week unit requires approximately 20 hours of time per week. You will see the practical benefits of your further study immediately, when you begin applying your new found knowledge in whatever role you currently hold.
The career outcomes of a Master of Engineering Management are varied and ever-growing as the industry expands. Where could your Master of Engineering Management lead?
It is anticipated that engineers undertaking the course will already be working in engineering or engineering-related industries. Engineers without current employment can also undertake the course.
Units undertaken in this course may count towards your continuing professional development (CPD) requirements with Engineers Australia or your relevant professional registering body.
