Engineering & Management

What engineers Do
Engineering
Engineering is the means by which people make possible the realization of human
dreams by extending our reach in the real world. Engineers are the practitioners of
the art of managing the application of science and mathematics.
Engineers
Engineering has been differentiated from other academic paths by the need for
people to logically apply quantifiable principles. Academic knowledge, practical
training, experience, and work-study are all avenues to becoming an engineer.
Types of engineers
Many engineering applications require cross-pollination or integration of multiple
disciplines. Aerospace engineers require knowledge of metallurgy, electronic
control systems, computers, production limitations and possibilities, finance, life
cycle logistic planning, and customer service.
Engineering employment
The distribution of employment by the engineering fields is as follows : civil,
mechanical, industrial, electrical, electronics, aerospace, computer hardware,
environmental. Chemical, all other engineers
Engineering jobs in a company
Positions in engineering research, engineering design, and related design support
activities such as reliability and maintainability engineering and as many
maintenance, manufacturing, and quality engineering functions.

Technical skill
Interpersonal skill
Conceptual skill Managerial roles what managers
Do
Interpersonal roles are futher divided into three types,
depending on the direction of the relationship :
The figurehead role
The leader role
The liasion role
Informational roles are also of three types, depending on
the direction of information flow:
The monitor role
The disseminator role
The spokesman/spokesperson role
Decisional roles of our kinds in this typology:
The entrepreneurial role
The disturbance handler role
The resources allocator role
The negotiator role
Functions of managers
Defined his favored list of the functions of managers as
follows:
Planning involves selecting missions and objectives and the
actions to achieve them
Organizing is the part of managing that involves
establishing an intentional structure of roles for people to fill
in an enterprise.
Staffing involves filling, and keeping filled, the positions in
the organization structure.
Leading is influence people to strive willingly and
enthusiastically toward the achievement of organization and
group goals.
Controlling is the measuring and correcting of activities of
sub ordinates to ensure thet events conform to plans.
Management : Art or Science?
Management also has a body of specialized
knowledge
Many managers will have first completed
bachelors or masters degree program in
business administration, or engineering
management, but the following applies.
Engineering management : a
synthesis
What is engineering management ?
If engineering management is broadly defined to include the
general management responsibility engineers can grow into,
one might well ask how it differs from ordinary management.
Need for engineers in management
Competition is global, and the ability to compete successfully on
this scale is fostered by corporate leaders who can do the
following:
Really understand the business.
Understand both technology that is driving the business today and the
technology that will change the business in the future.
Treat research and development as an investment to be nurtured, rather
than an expense to be minimized
Management and the engineering career
A national engineers registry survey conducted in 1969
analyzed the extent to which engineers were employed in
management. This survey revealed that about 18 % of
engineers had no regular supervisory responsibility and another
18% provided only indirect or staff supervisory.
