New Specialization at BEU: "Engineering Management"

One of the new specializations opened at the master's level at Baku Engineering University (BEU) is "Engineering Management." This specialization, to be taught at the Faculty of Engineering, aims to train specialists with deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the planning of engineering projects, the efficient allocation of resources, and risk and quality management.

By integrating the fields of engineering and management, the academic program ensures the development of professional competencies in students in the areas of efficient project organization, strategic decision-making, team coordination, and the implementation of innovative solutions. Graduates of the program, combining their technical knowledge with management skills, will possess the necessary knowledge and abilities to manage projects and processes in industry, construction, energy, transport, information technology, and other sectors of economic activity, as well as to fulfill managerial responsibilities at various levels.

In the initial phase of the specialization's curriculum, students acquire the necessary knowledge in the fields of engineering and management to build a theoretical foundation. In the subsequent phase, students are taught the core specialist subjects in engineering management. Students then undertake an industrial placement and prepare a master's thesis, with the aim of applying the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in a real work environment and developing practical skills.

The educational process will be organized on the basis of project-oriented learning, problem-based learning, the case study method, the use of innovative educational technologies, and other modern pedagogical approaches, alongside technical knowledge. Within the framework of the specialization, master's students will be taught courses in engineering economics, human resource management in enterprises, engineering ethics, ergonomics and technical design in the management of technological equipment, research methods, engineering project management, optimization of technological processes, production and operations management, supply chain management, quality and risk management, strategic management, lean production systems, and other specialist subjects.

Research placements and academic-pedagogical placements are also envisaged for master's students.
