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:
