1 Advanced Organizer

2 Engineering & Management

3 Objective:  Describe the origins of engineering practice  Identify the functions of management

4 Origin of Engineering “Engineer”& “Ingenious” stem from Latin word “ingenium”  Talent, natural capacity  Clever invention

5 Engineering as a Profession “the art of directing the great sources of power in nature, for the use and convenience of man.” --The first issue (1866) of the English journal Engineering “the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.” --Engineers' Council for Professional Development

6 What Engineers Do?  Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to the economical solution of practical technical problems.  Engineers design machinery, products, systems, and processes for efficient and economical performance. --U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

7 Types of Engineers  Civil Engineers  Agricultural Engineers  Mechanical Engineers  Electrical Engineers  Industrial Engineers  Chemical Engineers  Aerospace Engineers  Computer Engineers  Software Engineers  Biomedical Engineers

8 Engineers of Future  Teamwork  Flexibility  Interpersonal skills

9 Engineering Employment  Total (2000): 1,572,000 (U.S)  Electrical Engineers: 450,000  Mechanical Engineers: 259,000  Civil Engineers: 211,000  Industrial Engineers: 210,000  Aerospace Engineers: 80,000  Chemical Engineers: 67,000  Highest pay: Computer Engineers  Lowest Pay: Civil Engineers

10 Engineering Jobs  Manufacturing Industries –Product Research, Design –Production, Quality –Plant, General  Service Industries –Marketing, Purchasing, Recruiting –Logistics  Government

11 Management Manage: “to handle” Management: “the process for managing, training, or directing”

12 Management Levels  First-line managers –Foreman, supervisor, section chief  Middle managers –Plant manger, division head, chief engineer, operations manager  Top managers –Chair of board, president, executive vice president, CEO, CFO

13 Managerial Skills  Technical skills  Interpersonal skills  Conceptual skills First-lineMiddleTop Technical Skills Interpersonal Skills Conceptual Skills

14 Managerial Roles  Interpersonal Figurehead, leader, liaison  Informational Monitor, disseminator, spokesperson  Decisional Entrepreneurial, Disturbance handler, Resource allocator, Negotiator

15 Functions of Managers  Planning  Organizing  Staffing  Leading  Controlling

16 Differences between “Ordinary Managers” & “Eng. Managers” The engineering manager is distinguished from other managers because he/she possesses both an ability to apply engineering principles and a skill in organizing and directing people and projects. He/she is uniquely qualified for two types of jobs: the management of technical functions (such as design or production) in almost any enterprise, or the management of broader functions (such as marketing or top management) in a high- technology enterprise.
