\"Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n

Every task undertaken has a technical aspect of its own. There are technicalities involved in nearly everything that we take up, be it in job, at home, during a travel etc. Engineering is more about technical aspects and approach and relating Engineering to Management definitely gives success. This is the reason why it is necessary to learn or study Engineering Management as a complete subject or qualification to have a successful career.<\/p>\n

Management of Engineering or Engineering Management is an altogether specialization of Management as well as Engineering. In Engineering, Management generally comes with the subject of \u2018Industrial Engineering and Management\u2019, that is the stream of Mechanical Engineering. There is Bachelor\u2019s as well as Master\u2019s degree of IEM (Industrial Engineering and Management). Engineering in Management generally deals with applications, principles and practices of management. Some of the Business practices come under this stream, that teach the Organisation the best and most efficient ways of carrying out a successful business.<\/p>\n

Engineering Management is an amalgamation of technological abilities of solving problems, planning strategies, administration, in order to fulfil the missions and vision at large. A Master\u2019s degree in Industrial Engineering and Management is considered somewhat similar or equivalent to an MBA degree. Nearly all the content of both the degrees is same, hence making it less complex.<\/p>\n

This stream can be best explained with examples of area contained in it, i.e. Manufacturing, Production, Technology, Construction, Design Engineering, Product development etc. similar areas. The function and the ultimate goal of all is the same. All of the areas relate to one another in some or the other way. They are rather interdependent on one another and require equal attention or focus while having a unified goal for an organisation.<\/p>\n

Every Engineering Manager in order to succeed in what he or she takes up must undergo some training. Apart from that some experience as an intern with companies or on-job experience can also provide immense success. Every student or trainee in the initial learning stages of Engineering Management requires hands on experience in Business. Every Engineering Manager holds the responsibility of handling the Engineers of the organisation and department. They skill and coach the new comers and starters in the company. They act as mentors and motivators to the technical professionals hired by the company. An Engineering Manager covers most of the sectors of the organisation, be it HR, Finance and Accounts, Business Analysing, Market Economy, Technical, IT, supply Chain Management and a lot more!<\/p>\n

If we go back to the history of Engineering Management, \u2018Stevens Institute of Technology\u2019 has had oldest \u2018Engineering Management’s\u2019 department that in 1908 got established as \u2018School of Business Engineering\u2019. Later, this was called as the program of \u2018Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Management (BEEM)\u2019 and then moved in the \u2018School of Systems and Enterprises\u2019. The degree of Engineering Manager was very first granted at Drexel University, US in 1959. Eventually thereon, this degree became popular and has got spread till India as well and offers great scope.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the interesting areas that the stream of \u2018Engineering Management\u2019 offers:<\/p>\n
