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.]
