C092 Master of Engineering
(Construction Management)
The main aim of the course is to provide graduates of
proved academic ability the skills required for future roles in
managing technology and human resources in construction
and building operations.
It is proposed to achieve this aim by providing a structured
study of advanced management and engineering techniques
in the fields of construction and building.
The course aims to develop the following:
skill at allocation, organisation and direction of
manpower and material resources;
awareness of and ability to apply modern construction
technology;
understanding of the financial considerations of project
funding;
understanding of human resource management on
construction sites;
knowledge of the bidding process and other aspects of
economic decision-making;
appreciation of contractual obligations and risks;
quality management.
Duration of program
This course has been designed to take place over one and a
half years on a full-time basis. Students may commence their
studies in either the first or second semester of any year and
spend the first two semesters engaged in coursework. The
course can also be undertaken part-time over six semesters.
Prerequisites
Candidates for the degree of Master of Engineering shall:
have completed the degree of Bachelor of Engineering,
or equivalent qualifications; OR
have completed successfully a four year degree in
Building or Architecture;
have qualifications and experience which, in the opinion
of the Divisional Board, are of a satisfactory standard
and are a suitable preparation for study in the Masters
program; AND
preferably have appropriate experience.
