INTRODUCTION

Master of Engineering in Engineering Management

The School of Engineering is located at the main campus

of the University of Zambia in Lusaka. In its quest to
meet the challenges of engineering practice in the
21st century, the School has introduced a number of
new innovative Taught Master of Engineering Degree
programmes. The programmes are tailored to meet the
needs of busy professionals who are not able to attend
class during the day but would be able to attend evening
classes. The programmes have two main components:
taught courses which are undertaken in the first year;
and a research component undertaken in the second
year.
