FLEXIBILITY IN POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS OF COURSE DELIVERY MODES IN ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This study addresses the analysis of course delivery modes most suited for a diverse student cohort in a postgraduate engineering course. A literature review is conducted to determine the challenges and benefits of different course delivery modes. A theoretical guideline provides insights into how student learning is supported and the challenges of certain delivery modes regarding teaching engineering management students the required skills. The research then further discusses the needs of the students as well as the industry. It was found for a diverse student cohort in a postgraduate engineering management course; the best option is to combine face-to-face learning with blended learning. The combination addresses the student needs of flexibility and inclusivity. The main goal is to achieve student engagement with the chosen course delivery modes, which is an important goal to be achieved by the course in engineering management.
