Engineering Management
• Engineer Management is concerned with the design,
installation, and improvement of integrated systems of people,
material, information, equipment, and energy by drawing upon
specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical,
and social sciences, together with the principles and methods
of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and
evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems
• Scientific discipline, which designs, implements and/or
develops models, processes and systems by taking into account
the engineering relationships between the management tasks
of planning, organizing, leading and controlling and the human
element in production, research, marketing, finance and other
services.

the activity of turning the product concept to a finished
physical terms.
Testing – is where the engineer works in a unit where new
products or parts are tested for workability.
Manufacturing – is where the engineer directly in charge of
production personnel or assumes responsibility for the
products.
