Taught Modules

EG-D09 MSc Engineering Leadership and Management Project

The module aims to develop the ability to construct a viable strategic plan as part of a group with the individual assessment being delivered in the form of a document covering one of the key aspects within the structure of that strategic plan. The final ambition of the strategic plan, i.e. the synopsis will be defined by industry seniors. There is an expectation that key research skills will be developed alongside personal and professional development skills and the utilization of knowledge gained throughout the taught elements.
EGSM26 Strategy

The module will give an insight into the origins of strategy formation using examples where success has followed and perhaps those that have not. Clearly Strategy has military connotations and history is peppered with classic examples. Moving then onto modern day organizations, the module will walk the candidates through all the key elements associated with effective design, management and deployment of strategy. As potential Leaders, it is important that an understanding of the likely roles they will play in the future is delivered. This will be effected by a program that has sound theoretical anchors and uses real life examples through case studies of organizations to explore and critique the plans.
