and swiftly. However, this shift also necessitates a reevaluationof the skill sets required in the workforce. Engineering managers will need to focus on developingskills in AI oversight, ethical use of AI-generated data, and integrating AI tools with human-centricdecision-making processes. The future work environment will emphasize collaboration betweenhuman intelligence and AI capabilities, where strategic thinking, creativity, and ethicalconsiderations in AI application become paramount [13]. Generative AI's impact extends beyondmere automation, heralding a new era of enhanced creativity, efficiency, and innovation inengineering management. By embracing these changes, organizations can unlock unprecedentedopportunities for growth

principles. We have summarized the technical and soft skills taughtin each of our courses and given the importance of each skill to engineering managers (Table 1).Our program distinction is the business courses, but we included our regular engineeringtechnology courses for comparison. These courses collectively develop a robust toolkit oftechnical and soft skills crucial for Engineering Managers to effectively lead technical teams,projects, and organizations. The emphasis on applying knowledge to real-world problems,communicating with diverse stakeholders, thinking critically and ethically, and workingcollaboratively prepares students for the multifaceted challenges and opportunities they will faceas Engineering Managers in industry. Graduates go to
