Engineering Management is a specialized form of management that is

required to successfully lead engineering or technical personnel and projects.

management.
Engineering managers typically require training and experience in both
general management and the specific engineering disciplines that will be used
by the engineering team to be managed.

coach, mentor and motivate technical professionals; skills which are often very
different from those required the effectively manage individuals in other fields.
This course that deals with the basic principles of engineering
management and organization. It attempts to facilitate understanding of the
managerial roles in a complex, contemporary and global economy. The course
also focuses on the different managerial functions with practical insights and
applications, primarily as these theories are being applied in the Mechanical
Engineering profession. A portion of Business Enterprise discussion will also be
discussed to assess the “entrepreneurial’ side of students as future
managers/leaders. At the end of the course, students will be more enlightened
as “what managers actually do” in their daily tasks.
