MEEN40300

This is a core module on the Master of Engineering Management programme. It is designed for postgraduate students based in industry and who have at least five years professional engineering work experience.

This module is delivered in an intensive format from weeks 6-12 of the trimester. Each week there will be a four hour workshop session (Friday afternoons).

The aim of this module is to learn how to apply practical business process modelling and business process redesign techniques, toolsets and approaches in the context of business and engineering projects.

Students will be exposed to a variety of business process design and modelling project case studies across the full life cycle from the initial strategies to the implementation of solutions.

It will detail the process, organisational and technology considerations including a number of specific change management case studies.

Finally it provides the students with an opportunity to practice these techniques in a simulated workshop environment using a Case Study.

There is a strong emphasis on learning through the practical application of the material covered. A number of the lectures include an opportunity for the students, in their course groups, to apply their knowledge to predefined exercises where they present their work to the class.
