General Information
What is Engineering Management?
Engineering Management is a specialized form of management that is concerned with the application of engineering
principles to business practice. Engineering management is a career that brings together
the technological problem-solving savvy of engineering and the organizational, administrative,
and planning abilities of management in order to oversee complex enterprises from
conception to completion.
Engineering Management programs typically include instruction in the areas of accounting,
economics, project management, finance, systems engineering, mathematical modeling
and optimization, quality control and six sigma, operations research, human resource
management, industrial psychology, safety and health.
At 91ÁÔÆæ, our engineering management program emphasizes quality and six sigma, statistics,
fundamentals of business accounting and finance, engineering economic analysis, business
ethics, supply chain engineering, and systems engineering. Through technical electives,
students become knowledgeable in other aspects of business management, such as project
management, human resource management, and operations research.
