Engineering Management Courses

There are many students who have completed studying engineering and technical courses and are now looking out for a course that would be a blend of technical subjects and management related subjects. This course is for all such students who are interested in opting for a career in the same.

Engineering management is a program which is a specialization in management that is needed to successfully carry out engineering and technical projects.

A career in this field combines together technology, problem solving techniques, administrative activities and planning to monitor overall operational performance of complex engineering firms.

Duties of an Engineering Manager:

• Supervise and monitor technology, resource requirements, and customer demand, to plan check the feasibility of projects.
• Work on installation processes, testing, operations, maintenance and repair of system.
• Review and approve design of the product and also work on the changes required.
• Work on the recruitment process, delegate duties amongst the employees, evaluate their work
• Work on budget preparations, bids, and contracts and also prepare research related contracts
• Work on the development and implementation of policies, procedures, standards for various technical activities carried out in the department

Specialization in Engineering Management:

2. Logistics
3. Operations Research
4. Supply chain management/Project Management

• Supply chain management is a branch of engineering management that involves activities that requires planning, controlling and execution of a product’s flow.
