Course content
Integrated 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 year (optional) and 5th year:
A foundation year that will
introduce you to many
of the basic concepts in
Integrated engineering
with management.
Development of themes in
Integrated 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.

vacation work between the
3rd and 4th year.
Work Placement/Study 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.
