Resilient and Sustainable Engineering Management

Code: CIVE477

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

Professional Engineering Managers need to understand risk, uncertainty and their mitigation measures in their everyday working environment, be it economic, operational or staff related. This module teaches students the theory, practice and application of techniques in resilience planning and management (e.g., adapting and mitigating against change and disruptors), sustainable engineering (e.g., whole life cycle/costing analysis, carbon/water footprint, waste streams and reduction, etc) and the tools to assess, evaluate and reflect on their suitability and efficiency. On completion of the module, students will be able to make informed and sound decisions on the resilience and sustainability of engineering solutions and the impact they have on engineering practices. This is a core skill for professional engineering managers, from all disciplines, and is vital for their future employment, careers and development to Chartership.
