Subject

Production and manufacturing engineering

To maintain competitiveness in the current challenging environment, companies need effective leaders who understand both technology and business. Engineers with management training have opportunities to make valuable and lasting contributions. Therefore, there is an increasing global demand for specialists in engineering management, supply chain, continuous improvement techniques and sustainable development in both mechanical and manufacturing industry sectors.

The BEng (Hons) Engineering Management course at NTU Mansfield will take your engineering knowledge to the next level as you learn about the appropriate quantitative engineering tools for the analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of manufacturing engineering systems, processes and products. Alongside the technical engineering aspects and theory we'll develop your confidence with communication and team working skills which are essential in any management role.

You'll develop your business skills to deal with complex technical issues systematically. We teach you this in the current global economic, social and environmental context of industrial technology within the engineering sector.

As the level of automation in the Mansfield and Ashfield region grows, this course will align and work with the local industry to fulfil local demands and future-proof the workforce.

Top job areas of graduates

Graduates are in significant demand, so unemployment rates are well below the national graduate average and starting salaries are well above average. Much the most common industries for these graduates are now vehicle manufacture - there are not enough people with these degrees to go round and so the big employers tend to take the lion's share at the moment. But pretty much anywhere there is manufacturing, there are production engineers. Bear in mind that a lot of courses are four years long, and lead to an MEng qualification — this is necessary if you want to become a Chartered Engineer.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
