Bachelor of Engineering in Process & Engineering Management

The programme is an industrial engaged programme and is structured as follows:

Two major modules:
Applied Process Control
Project Management

Two minor modules:
Operations Management and Statistical Process Control.
A dissertation module

With regards to the Project Management module, each learner must actively meet with industry representatives, visit companies and develop a deliverable that is presented to the representative. To allow for this, the Project Management module follows an international standard, in that it is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), a widely recognised methodology. This will ensure the structure of the deliverable is of industry standard. Also, when learners have completed the module, they will have earned teaching hours and demonstrated competence that can potentially be used for application to the professional accreditation of Project Management Professional (PMP).

With regards to the Applied Process Control module, each learner will actively work on an industrial related six sigma project with the goal of breakthrough improvement. This problem based learning (PBL) follows the DMAIC (define, measure, analyse, improve and control) six sigma methodology. The Applied Process Control module has been recognised by the Quality America Inc. Tucson AZ. This will facilitate the graduates to sit the Green Belt online examination.
