Strategy and Engineering Management
Today I came across the paper.
ROLE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING IN,ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT, Kumar Krishen, Ph.D.
NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas 77058
http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19960023932_1996053021.pdf
In the abstract of the paper, this interesting statement is made.
The traditional roles of an engineer to design, develop, and streamline (a product and its) a manufacturing process for a product are still valued and relevant. However, the need for an engineer to participate in the process of identifying the product to be developed, the schedule and resources required, and the goal of
satisfying the customer, has become paramount to achieving the success of the enterprise. When we
include these endeavors in the functions of an engineer, management of “engineering” takes on a new dimension. In this paper, the ramifications of the changing and increased functions. of an engineer and consequent impacts on engineering management are explored.

Degree Programs Offered
Master’s Degree in Management Science and Engineering
September 2009
The program of Master of Science in Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) prepares
individuals for a life-long career addressing critical technical and managerial needs in private and
public decision making. Department requirements for the M.S. degree provide breadth across some of
the areas of the department, and flexibility for meeting individual objectives of depth in a particular
area of concentration. The Master’s degree may be a terminal degree program with a professional
focus, or a preparation for a more advanced graduate program. The M.S. degree can normally be
earned in one academic year (three academic quarters) of full-time work, although students may
choose to continue their education by taking additional MS&E courses beyond that year. Students
completing 15 or more units per quarter can easily complete the degree in three quarters. Students
completing 8-10 units per quarter can complete the degree in five quarters. Background requirements,
taken in addition to degree requirements, must be met by students who have had insufficient course
work in mathematical sciences, computer science, engineering and/or natural sciences.
Description of the Master’s Program
Students in the Master of Science program in MS&E must take a minimum of 45 unduplicated course
units at Stanford as follows:
• at least five core courses (breadth)
• at least three other courses in an area of concentration of their choice (depth)
• a course in probability unless a college-level course in probability has already been passed
• a project course requirement
• the remaining units in elective courses.

Engineering management professionals deal with the planning, organization, scheduling, monitoring and control of engineering projects, and can lead to any of the following careers:
Technical Marketing – interfacing between engineers who design a product and the public who will need to understand what problems it solves and how it is used.
Project Management – interfacing between the engineers who design a project and the laborers who are building it.
Industrial Systems Engineering – overseeing and initiating technical processes in manufacturing settings.
Many students opt to continue their education by pursuing graduate degrees such as a Masters in Business Administration, Masters in Engineering Management, Masters in Public Policy or masters in other engineering fields.

To this end, we require that half of the Engineering Management degree units be devoted to a technical stem, drawn from one or more of the other engineering departments. The remaining units are in management-leadership related studies. Admission to the Engineering Management and Leadership Program is open only to those who hold an undergraduate degree or graduate degree in engineering or computer science. The undergraduate program must be a four-year engineering program substantially equivalent to Santa Clara's. Work experience is preferred, but not required. Requirements At Santa Clara, 45 quarter units are required for the master's degree. For the Engineering Management and Leadership degree, 20 of these units must be in civil, electrical, computer, or mechanical engineering; or applied mathematics; or a combination of all these. A minimum of 20 units must be undertaken in the engineering management sequence. The remaining 5 units may be used for the interdisciplinary Engineering 200 series, or may be taken in either management or a technical area. Although 9 units may be transferred from the Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business and Administration or another graduate program, in no case may the minimum units taken in the Engineering and Leadership Department be fewer than 16 units. Note that the number of engineering management courses accepted for other degress in the graduate engineering program is restricted to 6 units in the Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering programs, and to 10 units in the M.S. in Engineering degree program. The program of studies for Engineering Management and Leadership degree candidates must be submitted to the chair of the Engineering Management and Leadership Department during the first term of enrollment to ensure that all courses undertaken are applicable to the degree. Graduate seminars in other departments - ELEN 200 or COEN 400 or MECH 297 - are not applicable to an Engineering Management and Leadership degree program. In addition to the overall 3.0 GPA graduation requirement, Engineering Management and Leadership degree candidates must earn a 3.0 GPA in those courses applied to their technical stem and a 3.0 GPA in their engineering management course stem. All courses in which a student is enrolled at Santa Clara are included in these calculations. http://www.scu.edu/engineering/graduate/degree_programs/engineeringmanagement.cfm Project Management Concentration Subjects (Accessed on 31.1.2010) _____________________ |

Engineering Management: Management of Engineering and Technology Departments, Functions and Organizations
Introduction to Engineering Management. A Collection of Articles in Progress
Introduction
1. Introduction to Engineering Management.
Engineering management is management applied to functions, departments, and organizations where engineering is the primary technical skill. (Narayana Rao) 31st January 2010
The engineering manager possesses abilities to apply engineering principles and skills in organizing and directing people and projects. He is uniquely qualified for two types of jobs: the management of technical functions (such as design, production and maintenance) and the top management of engineering and technology companies (more popularly termed industrial organizations). [Based on Daniel L. Babcock, "Is the Engineering Manager Different?" Machine Design, March 9, 1978, pp. 82-85.]
