1.Why are engineers considered an important segment of the society?
As professionals in the field of engineering, engineers design, analyze, construct,
test, and build machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets, and materials to
meet functional requirements and objectives while taking cost, safety, practicality,
and regulatory constraints into account. Because they are so vital to the process of
studying and creating new products, engineers are valued members of society.
Scientists are used by engineers to tackle real-world issues. Products and materials
are also used by engineers in the design of transportation, structural, and technical
systems. Engineers provide the blueprints and drawings that manufacturers and
builders use to build. To create the material components of our civilization, planners,
scientists, engineers, technicians, and builders/constructors work together
indispensable. Engineers are required to have the greatest standards of honesty and
integrity as members of their profession. The quality of life for every individual is
directly and significantly impacted by engineering. Because of this, engineers'
services must be committed to preserving the public's health, safety, and welfare and
must be rendered with integrity, objectivity, fairness, and equity.

such as highways, bridges, water supply systems, and electricity grids require
ongoing maintenance and improvements.
6. Which organization level requires the highest management skills for engineering
managers?
3|Page
Because Level Three organizations contain high-tech jobs like construction
businesses, where engineer managers have the greatest possibility to become
president or general managers, they must work with the utmost effectiveness and
efficiency. This means that Level Three organizations demand the best management
skills. Here are some example of level three organization:

It is a discipline that associated with the planning and coordinating of people and
technical resources to achieve a technological objective. In order to effectively lead
engineering projects, teams, and organizations, engineering management is a
specialist field that blends engineering, management, and business administration
principles. Its main objective is to ensure that engineering projects are completed
effectively, on schedule, and within budget while also fulfilling quality standards and
accomplishing organizational goals. It does this by applying management and
leadership principles to engineering tasks. A wide range of duties and competencies
are included in engineering management.

1. Can the engineer manager avoid making management decision? Why or why not?
No, an engineering manager is compelled to make managerial choices. An
engineering manager's job involves making management decisions, which are
essential to successfully managing engineering teams, projects, and organizations.
A key component of an engineering manager's job description is making
management decisions, which are necessary for efficiently managing engineering
teams, projects, and organizations. Every day, engineering managers have to make
a lot of choices to deal with obstacles, seize opportunities, and accomplish corporate
goals and objectives.
2. When a problem becomes apparent and the engineer manager chooses to ignore
it, is he making a decision? Explain your answer.
Yes, even if it's a passive decision, an engineering management does make a choice
when they decide to overlook an issue that comes to light. In conclusion, an
engineering management is taking a decision, although one that can have
unfavorable effects, when they decide to overlook an issue. To be an effective
leader, one must confront issues head-on, look for answers, and take decisive action
to reduce risks and guarantee the success of teams and projects.

process that lays the foundation for successful outcomes and organizational
success.
4. What are the components of the environment from the point of view of the
decision-maker? What do they consist of?
Internal Environment: An organization's internal environment encompasses elements
that may influence the way decisions are made. This comprises:
The values, customs, and beliefs that influence behavior and choices made inside a
company are known as its organizational culture.
Organizational structure: The roles, responsibilities, and formal hierarchy that specify
the processes by which decisions are made and carried out.
Resources: The organizational financial, human, and technological assets that can
influence the viability and execution of choices.
Policies and procedures: The norms and regulations that control how decisions are
made and behaved in a company.
External Environment: Anything outside the organization that may have an impact on
decision-making is included in the external environment. This comprises:

Ten job skills that are now in demand:
1. Sophisticated problem-solving
2. Ingenuity
3. Analytical reasoning
4. Human resource management
5. Project management
6. Intelligence emotional
7. Skills in customer service:
8. Making decisions and exercising sound judgment
9. Cognitive flexibility and range
10. Negotiation
These abilities are frequently mentioned as prerequisites for executive roles that pay
more. The first three are straightforward problem-solving techniques. The remaining
seven are equally helpful in solving puzzles. Developing alternatives within a
problem-solving method would benefit greatly from number 9.

Fostering commitment, alignment, effective execution, adaptability, quality,
consistency, feedback, improvement, and stakeholder satisfaction requires that
people involved in implementation comprehend and accept the problem's solution. It
establishes the groundwork for both the short-term and long-term success in solving
the current issue.
