Providing Engineering Solutions to Management and Leadership Problems
What is Engineering Management?
Engineering Management (EM) examines the engineering relationships between the management tasks of staffing, organizing, planning, and financing, and the human element involved in production, research, and service. EM teaches the concepts and principles of engineering to manage the fundamentals of organizational leadership, personnel management, fiscal management, and systems understanding. EM is a highly relevant program which builds on the traditional roles of systems analysis and basic and applied sciences by emphasizing management functions in a technical setting.
Why Study Engineering Management?
The Military, as well as American industry, is undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift. Organizations must be agile, flexible, and customer-focused to meet today’s challenges of constrained resources, global competition and rapid technological evolution. Now more than ever, engineers are expected to possess a broad range of communication and leadership skills in addition to technical engineering expertise. EM can teach you to apply engineering solutions to the contemporary issues facing military officers and management professionals in any organization.
