ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

Course Description

Review the enginnering management functions of planning, organizing, leading and controlling. Also, techniques of management, the matrix system of management, motivation, appraisal systems and prepare engineering students to become effective leaders in meeting the challenges in the new millenium. The course tries to give information in technical (an understanding of and proficiency in engineering and science); human (the ability to build a collaborative effort within a group); conceptual (the ability to apply analytical thought to the management process and to enterprise as a total system). Throughout the Engineering Management course, emphasis is placed on team-based approaches, written and oral communications skills, management of technology and continuous improvement.
