I wish you all, the greatest success and thank you for making NU your choice of postgraduate studies. There are several reasons for students choosing to continue on to a postgraduate level of studies. Many do so for career advancement, while others do so for self-gratification. Whatever your reason, our di- verse and experienced staff at Nazarbayev University will provide you with first-rate education and research knowledge. Just as you pride yourselves on the high quality of professional work that we know you are capable of, we pride ourselves on the continuing success and reputation of our programs. The Master of Engineering Management program spans over 4 semesters (2 years) where you are re- quired to complete 120 ECTS credits. You will be expected to successfully complete a number of courses offered by the School of Engineering and Digital Sciences (SEDS) and the Graduate School of Business (GSB). A targeted Capstone Project runs in the 4th semester of studies and you are expected to work on an applied subject in cooperation with an industrial partner; you will be asked to demonstrate your familiarity with the current literature in the field; analyze and evaluate results; support your findings in a scholarly manner according to disciplinary norms and finally, defend your work. We understand that quality education with a balanced campus life is pivotal to students. In terms of quality education, programs at Nazarbayev University are all assured and monitored by a robust sys- tem. Our programs are all up to the trend and the knowledge and skills gained throughout the study can be readily applied in the workplace. This handbook aims to provide you an overview of the Master of Engineering Management program and some services provided by the School of Engineering and Digital Sciences. Please spend some time on it and I am sure you will find some information which is important in the course of study. Wishing you a successful endeavor in your Master of Engineering Management program! Yours Sincerely, Prof. Jong Kim Head of Department (CEE) 2 Contents Welcome Note

  • The Impact of the Bologna Declaration on Engineering Education in Europe
    The Impact of the Bologna Declaration on Engineering Education in Europe - the Result of a Survey Among SEFI National Representatives and Other Members (As of June 15, 2004) 1. Has the system of Engineering Education in your country changed as a consequence of the Declaration or are such reforms being planned? In particular, has it been decided to introduce a two-cycle system (a "Bachelor/Master system") in Engineering? Austria The University Act 2002 opened the possibility to introduce Bachelor/Master for existing programmes. New curricula have to introduce Ba/Ma. Belgium Yes Dutchspeaking Belgium Yes, the Ministry of Education has introduced a new law in March 2004. Frenchspeaking Czech republic Yes, by decision of the Ministry of Education. Only a few exceptions are tolerated. Denmark Yes the Ministry of Education is changing the system – though with a lot of problems and double solutions between the old and the new system In the past we had a 3½-4½ year program and a 5 year program. Now we do have a 3½-4½ year program (diplomingeniør = professionsbachelor ) and a 3 +2 program (bachelor and master (civilingeniør)) Estonia Yes. Though, in Civil Engineering and Architecture, there are integrated 5-year programmes; the graduates get either Master degree or a Diploma that is officially recognised as a Master level document. Finland Reforms are under way. From autumn 2005 there will be in all university and "Fachhochschule" systems a two-tier system. Of course some areas have exceptions like medical faculty. France Formally, no. As a consequence of the Declaration a higher education reform (decrees published in April 2002) has changed the French University scheme of studies with the introduction of the “LMD” structure (Licence-Master-Doctorat, corresponding to 3-5-8 years of study).

  • Higher Education for Science and Engineering
    Appendix C. — Science and Engineering Graduate Study and Credentials in Other Nations The U.S. system of university-based graduate education, combining research and training, is admired throughout the world for the quality of researchers it produces. However, it is not the only model for training and certification of researchers. Other nations take different approaches to training graduate-level scientists and engineers for academic and industry research and development (R&D), reflecting major social, administrative, legislative, and economic differences in university systems, in where and how R&D is conducted and funded, and where scientists and engineers are employed in . that country.1 Higher education in other countries generally is more science- and engineering-intensive, particularly in Japan, Soviet Union, and West Germany. There is no “best” model for graduate education. The U.S. university system is decentralized, with a large high-quality private sector; many other nations have much more centralized systems. Most developed countries have reformed university education in the past decade, often modeling U.S. successes. These reforms have been driven and accompanied by a move to mass higher education, problems of overexpansion in the face of declining young populations, worries about quality, and retrenching in tight budgets. Japan. 2 Although Japan awards more science and engineering doctorates on a per capita basis than does the United States, far fewer of these are obtained through formal university graduate studies. Students follow two paths to the doctorate. Students may earn a “course doctorate” (katei hakushi) in one of the major universities, similar to the United States, with courses, 5 years or so of research, and an oral defense of the dissertation.

  • Master of Engineering Graduate Student Handbook
    1 Master of Engineering Graduate Student Handbook College of Engineering & Applied Science Graduate Studies Office 665 Baldwin Hall Revised July 2016 MASTER’S of ENGINEERING (MEng) DEGREE The Master of Engineering program provides a graduate degree that focuses on the practice of engineering in order to better serve working professionals. Rather than culminate in a research experience and a thesis, the Master of Engineering curriculum provides skills and expertise that enhance the individual's ability to contribute to the technical workforce. The program provides advanced training to students interested in expanding their knowledge and expertise. Depending on a student's interest, the degree could add significant depth to an individual's understanding of the practice of engineering, or the program could be constructed to focus on greater inter-disciplinary breadth if that is the educational objective of the student. MEng Program Options Aerospace Engineering Biomedical Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Environmental Engineering Chemical Engineering Material Science Engineering Mechanical Engineering Admission Requirements Admissions are controlled by the program in which the prospective student wishes to focus their program of study. The following are nominal criteria for admission into the MEng program: • Must hold a BS degree from an ABET accredited program (or equivalent if from an international university) in a corresponding engineering discipline and must provide official transcripts from the institution where the degree was obtained. • Individuals with an ABET accredited engineering technology degree may be admissible and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Pre-requisite work may be prescribed. • Minimum undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 / 4.0 or equivalent.
