Important Notes:

As an engineering management student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment on existing engineering management theories – i.e., to add value and interest in your research topic.

The field of engineering management is vast and interrelated to so many other academic disciplines like civil engineering ,  construction ,  law ,  healthcare , mental health , artificial intelligence , tourism , physiotherapy , sociology , management , marketing and nursing . That is why it is imperative to create a project management dissertation topic that is articular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field.

We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic; it is the basis of your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, there is a possibility that the study is not viable.

This impacts your time and efforts in  writing your dissertation  as you may end up in the cycle of rejection at the very initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.

While developing a research topic, keeping our advice in mind will allow you to pick one of the best engineering management dissertation topics that fulfil your requirement of writing a research paper and add to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalizing your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.

Remember- dissertation topics need to be unique, solve an identified problem, be logical, and be practically implemented. Take a look at some of our sample engineering management dissertation topics to get an idea for your own dissertation.

This Engineering Management (EM) program is designed to prepare professionals for the Qatari industrial world at levels higher than those requiring an undergraduate degree, and at the same time it will prepare them for doing advanced research. The program is fundamentally different from MBAs. MBA programs are designed to help prepare people for management roles while focusing on general business and managerial aspects rather than leveraging the technical background. However, in today's world, corporations also demand managers with strong technical backgrounds. The structure of the EM program is unique as it helps the engineers become a more effective technical specialist and strengthens its ability to lead people and projects. As a specialist, the engineer becomes more effective through understanding how his or her engineering skills can best support the goals of the organization and its customers. In addition, the trained engineering manager becomes uniquely qualified for two types of positions: management of technical functions and the management of broader functions in the high-technology enterprise. The world trend in graduate education suggests that MBA and EM programs are not supplementary but complementary to each other. There are many universities in the Gulf Region and around the globe offer both programs separately.

Content / Work description: In the last 20 years, the European Commission gradually developed a constellation of Earth Observation satellites named Copernicus . The infrastructure is today able to collect petabytes of data every day, making such data available for everyone for free. Some renowned firms decided to build their digital ecosystem to offer value-added services based on the combination of such free data with other sources of data (e.g., public records, in-situ sensors, etc.) or technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, cloud, quantum). These digital ecosystems rely on different sources of data, different processing activities, and more broadly, different governance mechanisms. The thesis aims at deep diving into the configuration of digital ecosystems leveraging Copernicus data, exploring the antecedents and the process which led to their design. Couples of students will have the priority in the assignment of such work.

Tutor: Antonio Ghezzi

Content / Work description: The New Space Economy is forecasted to worth over 1 trillion dollars by 2040. The interest and commitment of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson to Space represent worldwide examples of the timeliness in studying this area. However, the New Space Economy is not just about US. In the last 10 years, the European Commission launched a number of ambitious projects to make its Space Sector grow (e.g., Copernicus, Galileo). Many startups were founded based on the availability of this innovative technological infrastructure and the combination with the most advanced digital technologies. But what are the value propositions of these startups in Europe? Which are their customers? Which revenue model they implement? Drawing on the original database of European startups in the New Space Economy built by the Space Economy Observatory, students (preferably a couple) will be asked to conduct desk research to track and analyze the business model of more than 500 European startups. The thesis is intended as a Short Thesis, with the possibility to be extended to Dissertation by leveraging Business Model Innovation literature and analytical methodologies (e.g, QCA).

Literature review on Family Office and family wealth management​

Supervisor 1: Luca Manelli

Date: 21 September 2023

Tutor: Josip Kotlar

Content / Work description: Description : There is a growing interest in the phenomenon of family offices. These organizations are privately owned, often  providing services such as account aggregation or concierge, and are thought of managing a sum of $6 trillion around the world.  Their strategic agility and their care in maintaining secrecy over their activities makes them not just very influential long-term  investors, but also severely understudied. By developing a systematic literature review from academic and practitioners’ sources,  the objective of this thesis is to provide a deep overview of what we already know about family offices, and to offer new research  directions to understand better this fascinating organizational phenomenon.

Literature review on corporate purpose

Content / Work description: Description :  The concept of corporate purpose is arguably one of the most diffused buzzwords in contemporary business  jargon, and loosely refers to the presence of an aspiration to have an impact on stakeholders and society. Indeed, it is one of the  most unclear and ambiguous business concepts as well. While research on corporate purpose has been gaining traction, it is  fragmented in different streams, hampering the development of a coherent body of knowledge on the topic, and diminishing the  potential relevance of academic research to business practice. By developing a systematic literature review, the objective of this  thesis is taking stock of research on corporate purpose, analyzing the evolution of the concept, and generating a framework for  organizing it.

Requirements: Fluent in English, working knowledge of Microsoft Excel

The emergence of family governance: A longitudinal single case study

Content / Work description: Description: Family governance is a set of formal and informal rules, processes, and structures (e.g., family constitutions, family council, etc.) that enable the business family to regulate their participation and decisions to the ownership and family systems. Business families do not have family governance structures and rules from the get-go, but they come to structure it later, often beyond the 2nd generation. Even though it has been acknowledged by practitioners that this is of vital importance for families, research lags behind. How do family governance structures emerge within business families? This dissertation project employs a single case study of an Italian, multigenerational business family to trace a rich longitudinal analysis of how the interaction between family members and advisors leads to the emergence of a shared set of norms that regulate the conflicts and the decisions over the family affairs. Methodology : Qualitative

Requirements: Fluent in English and Italian; basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel

Mapping the liquidity events of Italian family businesses

Content / Work description: Description:  Much attention has been granted to the strategic management of the family-owned business: how to  internationalize, how to manage cash, how to devise an effective succession plan. However, in the evolution of business families,  family-owned companies can be also sold. The sale of the family business (the "liquidity event") represents an important  discontinuity in the history of a business family. Particularly in Italy,  since a few years,  we are witnessing an increase in the number  and size of liquidity events, which makes the headlines of newspapers. The purpose of this dissertation project is to  systematically map the liquidity events of family businesses in Italy and highlight their key dimensions and consequences for the business family and the local economy.  Methodology : Quantitative

Requirements: Fluent in English; very good knowledge of Microsoft Excel; basic knowledge of statistical analysis programs (SPSS, STATA) and willingness to improve quantitative analysis skills.

Direct investments in private markets by European family offices

Content / Work description: Description: Family offices are gaining much attention from analysts and entrepreneurs. Family offices, organizations that are entrusted with the management, allocation and investment of family wealth, are becoming more and more active investors in private markets. While this is a way to diversify the portfolio, it is also a way to ensure that the wealth-owning family remains entrepreneurial, even if it has sold the family business. Due to the family-centered goals, family offices are often considered as long-term investors and providers of patient capital, which makes them an interesting category of investors vis-à-vis private equity funds. However, we do not know much about the investments that family offices in Europe make. This dissertation project seeks to map the direct investments that European family offices have made in a given timeframe, and to understand their effect on the target firms’ performance after the investments. In a nutshell, this dissertation seeks to understand whether and under which conditions family offices create value for the target firm.  Methodology : Quantitative   ​

Family businesses and community resilience in the Biella textile cluster

Content / Work description: Description: The textile cluster in Biella is home to some of the most famous brands in Italian fashion, such as Zegna  or Fratelli Piacenza. Most of the companies in the clusters, both large and not-so-large, are family-owned businesses. Once the  engine of the industrial revolution in Italy, the Biella textile cluster has been undergoing a severe change, due to increased  competition and reconfiguration of the global value chains. How is the local territory and business actors responding to these  threats? What are the elements that enable or impede the resilience of the cluster? What is the role of family firms in this picture?  This exploratory thesis project employs a qualitative research design, combining primary sources (like interviews) and  secondary, archival data, to make sense of these questions. Methodology : Qualitative ​
