Engineering Management

engineering (IE) tendto focus on management of a process within specific engineering disciplines, and, like SE, areconcerned with operational decisions. This is in contrast to management of technology (MOT)programs that focus on traditional management techniques with application to technology assets,not engineering processes as with SE and IE. The opposite approach from SE is an MBAprogram that teaches pure management theory without application to any specific discipline. EMprograms straddle the gap between these approaches, emphasizing the management of allengineering disciplines and overlapping slightly with IE and MOT. Figure 1, adapted fromKotnour and Farr6, presents a visual of this overlap
