Origin of Engineering
“Engineer”& “Ingenious” stem from
Latin word “ingenium”
• Talent, natural capacity
• Clever invention
9
Definition of
“Engineering 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
10
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

Engineering Management:
A Synthesis
• Engineering Management is the art and science
of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and
directing and controlling activities which have a
technological component. -ASEM
• Engineering management is a field that bridges
the gap between engineering and management.
Engineering management involves the overall
management of organizations with an orientation
to manufacturing, construction, engineering,
technology or production. -- Wikipedia
20
“Ordinary Managers” vs.
“Engineering 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.
21
Engineering Managers
Nature of the Work
• Plan, coordinate, and direct research, design,
and production activities.
• Supervise engineers, scientists, and technicians,
along with support personnel.
• Apply knowledge of administrative procedures,
• Use communication skills extensively.
--Bureau of Labor Statistics
22
Need for Engineering Managers
• High-tech nature of business
• Extensive planning
• Uncertainties in products and processes
• Recruitment and evaluation of technical personnel
• Leadership and motivation of technical personnel
23
Management and Engineering Career
• Engineering and sciences managers held about 228,000
jobs in 2006.
• Manufacturing industries employed 38% of engineering
and sciences managers.
• Another 31% worked in services industries.
• Other large employers include Federal, State, and local
government agencies.
• Employment of engineering and sciences managers is
expected to grow 8 percent over the 2006-16 decade,
about as fast as the average for all occupations.
