Engineering Management
Concentration Information
Engineering Management deals with the engineering relationships between the management tasks of planning, organization, leadership, control, and the human element in production, research, and service organizations; and it also deals with the stochastic nature of management systems. Engineering management involves the integration of management systems into different technological environments.
Engineering Management concentrations can be tricky to put together because there is a fine balance that must be struck between managerial and engineering classes. Because of this challenge, the concentration advisor, Professor Chun, strongly recommends that students make an appointment with him so that he can suggest appropriate classes that align with the individual student’s interests. For more information on what counts as an engineering course, see the post on Engineering Units.
