The Honours Degree in Engineering Technology Management is a great option for young engineers intending on pursuing a career which focuses on management of engineering activities and development of new and innovative solutions to complex problems which require a differentiated systems engineering approach. The course includes a wide ranging set of subjects from more traditional skills such as project management, to specialised skills such as systems engineering and engineering techno-economics - which are not typically emphasised in a technical environment. Personally, engineering techno-economics was a highlight as it allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the time value of money, and how engineering business owners can use economics to determine the potential of their projects. 

 

We are at a crucial time in history and designing innovative and practical solutions to the problem of clean, renewable energy is something I am passionate about. I have used the skills gained through the ETM course in my everyday life and have made the decision, kick-started by my research assignment into renewable energy options for the mining industry, to specialise in developing solutions to such problems. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has completed their engineering undergraduate degree and feels drawn towards starting their own business or pursuing a career in engineering management or management consulting.
