Engineering with management at a glance
Students in TR038 pursue an accredited engineering degree. Several of the courses are shared with the larger engineering class,
MSISS and business students but the vast majority are unique to TR038.
Junior Freshman (1st yr): Senior Freshman (2nd yr):
Junior Sophister (3rd yr):
4th and 5th years:
A foundation year that will
introduce you to many
of the basic concepts
in Engineering with
management.
Development of themes in
Engineering and management
introduced in the first year.
Integrates the professional
degree in engineering with
management science.
Final integration of the
professional degrees (B.Sc.
or M.A.I.) in engineering with
management.
Project Work:
Individual and group
projects on designing
new product concepts
and experimental methods.
Project Work:
Design projects introducing
standards in drawing and
design using computer-aided
engineering software tools.
Group and independent
research projects in materials.
Project Work:
Individual and group
design projects integrating
manufacturing, business, and
human factors.
Project Work:
Substantial engineering project
emphasising the integration
of technical and business
solutions. The 4th year project
in the case of the M.A.I.
will be a group design and
build exercise. The final year
project in both cases will be
a substantial project – with
the M.A.I. project accounting
for approximately 50% of the
5th year and having a strong
research focus, and the B.Sc.
final year project accounting
for 25% of the final year.

Abroad
A range of formal options
are available – see section
below on ‘Five Year Masters in
Engineering’.
There is an optional language course in French or German, with certification, in the Senior Freshman and Junior Sophister (second
and third) years. Both courses continue over the two years.
