Abstract

This study reviews a leading South African University delivering Engineering Managers in Africa, with students from South Africa, Africa and the globe. This research facilitates a review of skills development via teaching and learning for Engineering Management. This paper provides an African, Universities 21, and ASEM comparative. The current trend in industry is for engineers to be promotion to managers. Experience is a cause for succession. In this study, the modules offered at the University of Johannesburg is the baseline, with which to test/align the review of Engineering Management delivery methods offered globally. This research used a Python code as an engine to automatically gather global data. The results indicate the curriculum at the University of Johannesburg to be relevant and in line with the worlds' best Engineering Management universities.
