(Degree Category Code: 1256)
Specializations: 01 – Engineering Management; 03 – Industrial Engineering and Management
The MEM program at China University of Petroleum (East China) was officially approved in 2018. It includes two fields of specialization: Engineering Management and Industrial Engineering and Management. The former evolved from the Project Management engineering master’s program authorized in 2004, while the latter originated from the Industrial Engineering program approved in 2002.
In 2020, the university became a certified training partner for the IPMP (International Project Management Professional), as recognized by the National Steering Committee for MEM Education and the China Project Management Research Committee. It is officially designated as an IPMP Talent Training Base.
The MEM program is primarily supported by the university’s doctoral program in Management Science and Engineering, featuring a highly accomplished faculty that includes a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars awardees, and Taishan Scholars. Over the years, the program has produced a large number of high-level, interdisciplinary professionals, particularly for the petroleum and petrochemical industries, generating significant social impact.
This program is aligned with China’s national energy strategy and regional economic development goals. It aims to cultivate interdisciplinary professionals with:
(1) Strong political integrity, social responsibility, and professional ethics;
(2) Systematic knowledge in strategic planning, quantitative analysis, optimization, and managerial decision-making;
(3) Capabilities in systems thinking, innovation, critical analysis, leadership, and international collaboration;
(4) The ability to serve as senior engineering management professionals in complex industrial settings.
No. | Specialization | Description |
1 | Energy Systems Engineering and Management | Focuses on national energy transformation and sustainability. Applies systems engineering and management theories to address challenges in strategic energy planning, large-scale project management, technology innovation, and system reliability. Students develop quantitative analytical skills, international perspectives, and systems thinking for high-level engineering management roles. |
2 | Smart Operations Management | Integrates data science and operations management to solve data-driven challenges in logistics, capital flows, and information flows. Emphasis is placed on big data, intelligent algorithms, and empirical modeling for scenarios such as e-commerce behavior and smart manufacturing. Graduates are equipped to manage the design, operation, and maintenance of production and information systems. |
3 | Project Management | Bridges management theory and practice by combining systems science, economics, behavioral science, and engineering methods. It addresses management challenges in planning, evaluation, execution, and control of large-scale projects. Students are trained to independently manage complex projects with strong abilities in coordination, strategic planning, and decision-making. |
The program follows a four-stage model: coursework, on-campus training, professional practice, and thesis writing. Industry experts with practical engineering experience participate in mentoring, with a faculty member serving as the primary advisor.
