Hello class of 2020 and welcome to Management Engineering. We’re so glad that you have decided to join us.
Management Engineering is an extremely unique program that was designed to help students understand, design, implement, and manage complex systems upon which organizations rely. Management engineers combine their knowledge of mathematical modelling, information systems, and behavioural science to develop optimal solutions. You’ll probably find yourself having to explain what Management Engineering is a lot of times throughout your time here, but don’t worry, soon enough you’ll develop an amazing explanation of your own.
Throughout the duration of the program you will learn about, and take electives in, three main themes: Operations Research and Supply Chain Management, Information Systems, and Management of Technology. Operations Research deals with quantitative models that are applied to coordinate activities in areas such as manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and supply chain management. Information Systems focuses on the creation and use of computer technology to support effective decision-making. Finally, the Management of Technology theme builds on the foundation of topics in finance, accounting, economics, and organizational behaviour while focusing on organizational issues related to managing technological change.
With such a diverse curriculum, it’s no surprise that Management Engineers can be found practically anywhere. From finance to healthcare, or telecommunications to software, there is no industry that can’t benefit from Management Engineering.
Thanks to the small class size and the fact that the program only has one stream, you’ll easily be able to bond with your classmates over the next five years. Make sure to reach out to upper years if you ever need any help, and look out for MEET in your first and second term.
Welcome to the Management family! We wish you the best of luck in your first year!
