Engineering Management - the lost discipline?

This paper was presented at the 2008 Engineering Conference - Innovation Good Practice and Research in Engineering Education.

This paper will explore what we mean by engineering management and describe the approach taken at Aston University when introducing a Masters programme in engineering management. The motivation for students to enrol will be discussed along with the creative approaches to teaching and learning that have seen the programme become well established within the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Importantly the future development of the programme and the opportunities to transfer experience to undergraduate engineering programmes will be considered.
