Professional Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M)

New! Department of Industrial & Production Engineering Introduces Professional Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M)

Management oflarge engineering systems presents peculiar challenges, most especially in a developing economy like Nigeria. The managers of such systems must be adequately familiar with both the technical and management aspects of the systems. Because Nigeria has lacked the ‘critical mass’ of Engineering Managers required for managing large scale engineering projects and systems, the country continually experiences large-scale management problems in:

· Technology-triggered business investments and organizational developments;

· Energy and utilities availability crises;

· Technology development, promotion, selection, adaptation, maintenance and replacement;

· Environmental pollution and operational safety;

· Running manufacturing, mineral exploration, construction and transportation systems and skilled human resources development and management.

· Effective commercialisation of technological products and innovations

It is to produce a crop of Engineers adequately equipped to handle such managerial problems that the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, University of Ibadan decided to introduce the professional Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M) Program. The program is a blend of advanced engineering and business education aimed at preparing Engineers for effective participation in the management of engineering and technology-based organizations, and management of technological change. It is a unique program intended mainly for post-experience Engineering graduates.
