Engineering Management
 Graduates
with an accredited degree in engineering management have gained a strong
understanding of the engineering relationships between the management
tasks of planning, organization, leadership, control, and the human
element in production, research, and service organizations. Engineering
managers work in most industries, particularly on larger projects or
programs which require overarching organization and planning to ensure
success.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in engineering management should consider reviewing engineering programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Engineering Management students take courses such as
Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Operations Management, General
Management, Strategic Management, Management of Technology, Industrial
and Quality Engineering, and Manufacturing and Packaging Engineering. The following is a list of universities offering accredited degree programs in engineering
management. Be sure to check with ABET for updates and changes.
Co-ops
Students seeking
engineering management jobs enhance their employment opportunities
by participating in internship or co-op programs offered through
their schools. These experiences provide the students with broad
knowledge and experience, making them more attractive candidates to
employers. Many universities offer co-op and internship programs for
students studying engineering management.
