What is engineering management?

Engineering Management is a graduate program specifically designed for engineers,

scientists, and computer scientists who want to add management and leadership skills to their
technical undergraduate base.

Engineering Management is a specialized form of management that is required to

successfully lead engineering or technical personnel and projects. The term can be used to describe
either functional management or project 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.

The successful engineering manager must have the skills necessary to coach, mentor and motivate
technical professionals, which are often very different from those that are required for individuals in
other fields
