Important Notes:

As an engineering management student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment with existing engineering management theories – i.e., to add value and interest to 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, and 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 a 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 fulfils your requirement of writing a research paper and adding to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalising 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.

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science (M.S.) degree with a major in Engineering Management concentration in Manufacturing Management requires 30 semester credit hours, including a thesis. Students who do not have the appropriate background course work may be required to complete leveling courses.

Course Requirements

Comprehensive examination requirement.

The oral proposal defense is used as the comprehensive exam.  The examination is administered by the student’s main advisor (committee chair).  Students who perform unacceptably on the exam may take the exam a second time.

Students who do not successfully complete the requirements for the degree within the timelines specified will be dismissed from the program.

If a student elects to follow the thesis option for the degree, a committee to direct the written thesis will be established. The thesis must demonstrate the student’s capability for research and independent thought. Preparation of the thesis must be in conformity with the  Graduate College Guide to Preparing and Submitting a Thesis or Dissertation .

Thesis Proposal

The student must submit an official  Thesis Proposal Form  and proposal to his or her thesis committee. Thesis proposals vary by department and discipline. Please see your department for proposal guidelines and requirements. After signing the form and obtaining committee members’ signatures, the graduate advisor’s signature if required by the program and the department chair’s signature, the student must submit the Thesis Proposal Form with one copy of the proposal attached to the dean of The Graduate College for approval before proceeding with research on the thesis. If the thesis research involves human subjects, the student must obtain exemption or approval from the Texas State Institutional Review Board prior to submitting the proposal form to The Graduate College. The IRB approval letter should be included with the proposal form. If the thesis research involves vertebrate animals, the proposal form must include the Texas State IACUC approval code. It is recommended that the thesis proposal form be submitted to the dean of The Graduate College by the end of the student’s enrollment in 5399A. Failure to submit the thesis proposal in a timely fashion may result in delayed graduation.

Thesis Committee

The thesis committee must be composed of a minimum of three approved graduate faculty members.

Thesis Enrollment and Credit

The completion of a minimum of six hours of thesis enrollment is required. For a student's initial thesis course enrollment, the student will need to register for thesis course number 5399A.  After that, the student will enroll in thesis B courses, in each subsequent semester until the thesis is defended with the department and approved by The Graduate College. Preliminary discussions regarding the selection of a topic and assignment to a research supervisor will not require enrollment for the thesis course.

Students must be enrolled in thesis credits if they are receiving supervision and/or are using university resources related to their thesis work.  The number of thesis credit hours students enroll in must reflect the amount of work being done on the thesis that semester.  It is the responsibility of the committee chair to ensure that students are making adequate progress toward their degree throughout the thesis process.  Failure to register for the thesis course during a term in which supervision is received may result in postponement of graduation. After initial enrollment in 5399A, the student will continue to enroll in a thesis B course as long as it takes to complete the thesis. Thesis projects are by definition original and individualized projects.  As such, depending on the topic, methodology, and other factors, some projects may take longer than others to complete.  If the thesis requires work beyond the minimum number of thesis credits needed for the degree, the student may enroll in additional thesis credits at the committee chair's discretion. In the rare case when a student has not previously enrolled in thesis and plans to work on and complete the thesis in one term, the student will enroll in both 5399A and 5399B.

The only grades assigned for thesis courses are PR (progress), CR (credit), W (withdrew), and F (failing). If acceptable progress is not being made in a thesis course, the instructor may issue a grade of F. If the student is making acceptable progress, a grade of PR is assigned until the thesis is completed. The minimum number of hours of thesis credit (“CR”) will be awarded only after the thesis has been both approved by The Graduate College and released to Alkek Library.

A student who has selected the thesis option must be registered for the thesis course during the term or Summer I (during the summer, the thesis course runs ten weeks for both sessions) in which the degree will be conferred.

Thesis Deadlines and Approval Process

Thesis deadlines are posted on  The Graduate College  website under "Current Students." The completed thesis must be submitted to the chair of the thesis committee on or before the deadlines listed on The Graduate College website.

The following must be submitted to The Graduate College by the thesis deadline listed on The Graduate College website:

  • The Thesis Submission Approval Form bearing original (wet) and/or electronic signatures of the student and all committee members.
  • One (1) PDF of the thesis in final form, approved by all committee members, uploaded in the online Vireo submission system.  

After the dean of The Graduate College approves the thesis, Alkek Library will harvest the document from the Vireo submission system for publishing in the Digital Collections database (according to the student's embargo selection).  NOTE: MFA Creative Writing theses will have a permanent embargo and will never be published to Digital Collections.  

While original (wet) signatures are preferred, there may be situations as determined by the chair of the committee in which obtaining original signatures is inefficient or has the potential to delay the student's progress. In those situations, the following methods of signing are acceptable:

  • signing and faxing the form
  • signing, scanning, and emailing the form
  • notifying the department in an email from their university's or institution's email account that the committee chair can sign the form on their behalf
  • electronically signing the form using the university's licensed signature platform.

If this process results in more than one document with signatures, all documents need to be submitted to The Graduate College together.

No copies are required to be submitted to Alkek Library. However, the library will bind copies submitted that the student wants bound for personal use. Personal copies are not required to be printed on archival quality paper. The student will take the personal copies to Alkek Library and pay the binding fee for personal copies.

A toolkit for supervisors and students preparing their master’s thesis

The Master’s Thesis project in Industrial Engineering and Management includes a range of instructions for students and supervisors.

Master’s students in technology must complete a master’s thesis to graduate. Typically, this involves a development project commissioned by a company/organisation, which lasts for about 6 months. A master’s thesis is part of the compulsory studies and contains 30 ECTS credits.

The Master’s Thesis project in Industrial Engineering and Management toolkit was developed as a guide and as assistance for students working on their thesis and the professors who supervise them. The goal of this toolkit is not to replace supervision provided by the professor but to support it.

Materials and instructions required for the master’s thesis have been compiled here. The Master’s Thesis project in Industrial Engineering and Management toolkit also provides the basic model for completing and supervising a master’s thesis. The basic model is presented in the project section.

It can be adjusted to suit a specific project. A student starting a master’s thesis project agrees with the supervising professor on how this basic model can be applied to his or her project.

Below you find a link to a info-video concerning Master's Thesis. The video gives information on what is Master's Thesis, what is suitable topic and what is the process for carrying out the Thesis work.

New space economy - digital ecosystems design.

Type of project: Dissertation

Supervisor 1: Jacopo Manotti

Date: 25 September 2023

Email: [email protected]

Contacts: Jacopo Manotti

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.

European Space Economy Startups - Business Model Innovation

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.

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 ​
