Management and Engineering in Design Concepts and Structural Engineering of Industrial Facilities

Do you want to become an expert in managing structural engineering?The Master of Science program in Management and Engineering in Design Concepts and Structural Engineering of Industrial Facilities (MME-CONSTRUCT) is an intensive yet exciting two-year full-time program. The program will provide you with a unique practical experience and prepares you to work at the interface of technology, engineering, management and economics.The MME-CONSTRUCT offers you an educational experience which integrates the technical and socio-economic requirements needed in the development and construction of industrial structures. Many industrial facilities suffer from design problems. These often arise from a lack of co-ordination between management and the engineers involved. This Master’s program combines the disciplines of management and engineering, and also provides you with insights from civil engineering.5 reasons to follow this program1. Broaden your career optionsThe need for continuous education and specialization are essential for career development. In today’s interconnected industrial world, technically-specialized engineers endowed with business and management skills increase their chances for employability. The program focuses on structural engineering and the development of risk management competencies necessary to build industrial facilities, thereby responding to a strong demand for specialized engineers in industrial facilities. Such experts are particularly needed in developing countries.As a graduate of this program, you will be able to pursue a career in the multidisciplinary field of industrial facility design. Most importantly, you will be able to bring management skills to the industry, the public sector and non-governmental organizations. Moreover, the program prepares you for leadership roles in the sectors of industrial design and risk management.2. Gain a world-class education in engineeringThe M.Sc. in Management and Engineering in Design Concepts and Structural Engineering of Industrial Facilities is based at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of RWTH Aachen University, more specifically within the Chair of Structural Analysis and Dynamics. The program enhances your development of structural engineering knowledge and insights combined with an understanding of the social, economic and political impact of hazard events. You will be trained as an engineer capable of providing holistic design solutions. Upon completion of this program, you will be able to work in both engineering and disaster management functions.This program also provides you with application-based knowledge for designing, constructing and monitoring structures during regular operation activities as well as accidental events in compliance with international building codes. Upon completion of this program, you will be able to carry out site- or structure-specific risk analysis using modern tools to estimate the threat of natural hazards.3. Develop your skills to become a leader in your fieldMaastricht School of Management has more than six decades of international experience in global management education, and the courses at this prestigious management school will enrich your skills as a globally-oriented manager. You will be provided with the opportunity to become a manager with a solid knowledge of core management processes and an understanding of major social and environmental issues common in emerging economies. During the management program at MSM, you will work in small-groups to solve problems related to global transformation and sustainable competitiveness, organization development and international project management.Throughout the program, you will also be challenged to explore feasible innovations balancing business and development perspectives.4. Learn from the diversity around youYou will share your study experience with fellow participants from all over the world. Not only will your fellow students represent different cultural backgrounds, but they will also come from a range of business sectors, educational backgrounds and have a wealth of personal networks. This variety of profiles will help you develop your multi-cultural skills, and build your own global network.5. Study in two unique historical citiesThis unique program will give you the chance to live and study in the heart of Europe. Aachen and Maastricht are important historic cities with their own languages and cultures – yet located only 30 km apart from one another. Both cities provide the settings for a memorable study experience.
