Description

Engineering projects and ventures require management. This course identifies the different management activities involved and develops the skills necessary for managing technology projects and professional practice. It covers the competencies required for graduate engineers as defined by the Washington Accord.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the conclusion of this course students should be able to:
  • understand the principles of management theory (planning, organising, leading and controlling) and their application to professional engineering practice, with particular emphasis on leadership of individuals and groups, and organisational structure and design.
  • assess the dynamics of individual and team behaviour, in preparation for professional practice of functioning effectively as an individual and as member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural settings.
  • communicate effectively in the area of formal report writing, and introduce themselves correctly in Te Reo Māori as a preface to an oral presentation.
  • construct and analyse simple financial statements
  • apply techniques in engineering economic analysis (NPV, IRR, EAC, benefit-cost) as appropriate
  • understand current sustainability issues and their environmental, economic and social/cultural implications.  Use that understanding to perform and critique simple life cycle analyses.
  • understand the ethical responsibilities of a professional engineer in a multi-cultural society.  Be able to analyse an ethical issue using different ethical frameworks.
  • demonstrate familiarity with other professional issues relevant to the practice of engineering and business in NZ, including:
    o legal issues, including the NZ legal system, tort, contract law, and other relevant legislation
    o basic principles of intellectual property
    o marketing concepts
    o appropriate professional workplace behaviour
  • understand the role and responsibilities of the professional engineer in New Zealand’s bicultural society as well as globally.
