As per the guideline, a minimum of 12AU of the specialisation courses are required for the specialisation to be printed on transcript. The specialisations offered in the MSEM programme meet the criteria and hence specialisations shall to be shown on transcript.
To graduate from the MSEM, students are required to achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.50.
The courses in the Project Management specialisation and Supply Chain Engineering specialisations of the MSEM are existing courses in the MSc in Project Management and MSc in Supply Chain Engineering programmes offered by MAE. MSEM students who choose these specialisations will sit with MAE students in the same classes of MSc in Project Management and MSc in Supply Chain Engineering.
While the specialisations in MSEM might overlap with existing specialised programmes like the MSc in Project Management and MSc in Supply Chain Engineering programmes, the MSEM programme is clearly differentiated and serves complementary roles in the University’s portfolio of PGCs.
- Distinct Audience and Career Goals: the MSEM equips students with a broad skill set to transition into managerial roles within engineering context. In contrast, the specialised MSc programmes prepare individuals seeking to deepen their expertise in specific fields.
- Curriculum Focus and Depth: The specialisations within the MSEM programme offer a broad overview of each area (e.g., Project Management, Supply Chain Engineering) as part of a wider engineering management education. In contrast, the specialised MSc programmes offer a deep dive into their respective fields, covering advanced topics, methodologies, and practices.
- Complementary rather than Competitive: The MSEM programme and the specialised MSc programmes serve complementary roles in the university's portfolio. While there may be some overlap in content, the depth, focus, and target audience of each programme are distinct, minimising the risk of cannibalization while meeting diverse market needs.
