Program skills
Engineering management is concerned with understanding the technology involved in an engineering project and the management process through which the technology is applied. This combination deals with the dual role of the engineering manager, both as a technologist and a manager. The objective is to provide a background in areas commonly needed in this role, such as organizational behavior, finance, and accounting, in addition to industrial engineering expertise. Students develop a program of study in conjunction with their advisor, which contains courses from Saunders College of Business to complement engineering course work.
